Abstract: An electric toothbrush with improved brush head motion is provided. The electric toothbrush includes a head comprising a fixed base having a concave portion, and a brush head having a convex portion. The convex brush head nests within the concave base to allow for rotational and tilting movement of the brush head relative to the base. The brush head movement may be driven by a motor housed within the toothbrush.

Abstract: The present invention includes novel apparatus and methods for recovering energy from water waves. An embodiment of the present invention may include a buoy, a shaft, and an electric power generating device. The shaft may be coupled to the buoy such that when the buoy moves vertically in response to a passing wave, the shaft rotates. The shaft may be coupled to the electric power generating device such that when the shaft rotates, the generating device produces electric power. Once electric power is generated, it may be delivered to shore, where it is stored, used to power a device, or delivered to a power distribution grid.

Abstract: An exercise device comprising a base and a platform rotatably tiltably connected to the base, wherein the invention includes a first continuous passive motion embodiment and a second continuous active motion embodiment. The continuous passive motion exercise device (e.g. non-motorized) may utilize the nested engagement of a concave surface located in the base and a convex surface extending from the platform to provide a rotatable tiltable connection therebetween. The device may also utilize at least one roller bearing located within the base to assist in permitting the rotatable tiltable motion of the platform relative to the base. The continuous active motion exercise device (e.g. motorized) utilizes a motor housed within the base to drive the rotatably tiltably connected platform.
