Publication number: 20170340086Abstract: A system for making a template for printing a bespoke shaving mask that conforms to the shape of a portion of an individual's head or face is disclosed, wherein the bespoke shaving mask being positionable on said head or face to enable a desired hair style to be achieved during shaving. The system comprises a user input, data store and processor. The user input is arranged to receive a user selection of a desired facial hair style from a plurality of facial hair styles. The data store is arranged to store data representing a three dimensional scan of the user's head or face. The processor is arranged to map data representing said selected facial hair style onto said data representing said three dimensional scan to generate said template. Supplementary to the system there is required, a three dimensional scanner for producing the data representing a three dimensional scan of the user's head or face, and a three dimensional printer configured so as to print the bespoke shaving mask.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2015Publication date: November 30, 2017Inventor: FOLKERT VRIJBURG

Toothbrush with a bristle field which comprises a composite of layers of base and bristle components
Patent number: 9049919Abstract: The toothbrush includes a brushhead (24) having a multi-layer bristle field assembly (30), which includes alternate thin base layers (32) and thin bristle layers (34) which are bonded together to form the bristle field assembly. The base layers provide support for the bristle field assembly while the bristle layers are configured to provide bristle elements therealong for brushing of the teeth.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2012Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Kevin Arnold Miller, Folkert Vrijburg, Geert Hendrik Westrup, Jurriaan Bernhard Rudolf Leveling -
Patent number: 8970141Abstract: A magnetic actuator system which includes a case (10) and a spindle (22) which extends through the case comprising a magnetizable material such as iron. The actuator further includes a pair of permanent magnet assemblies (14, 16) positioned fixedly within the casing with a longitudinal space there between, wherein the permanent magnet assemblies comprise an alternating plurality of north pole/south magnet sections (18) which extend longitudinally or circumferentially of the actuator. The actuator further includes a coil winding (24) which surrounds the spindle, positioned between the two permanent magnet assemblies. Magnetic pole assemblies (28, 30) attached to the spindle are positioned within the volume encompassed by the permanent magnet assemblies, such that an alternating drive signal produces an oscillating action of the spindle of desired frequency and amplitude.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2011Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Pieter Johannes Bax, Johannes Hotze Bernhard De Vries, Jurriaan Bernhard Rudolf Leveling, Gert Westrup, Sepas Setayesh, Folkert Vrijburg
