Abstract: A method and system for managing of an apparatus comprising a plurality of series produced technical hardware components over a life-cycle are disclosed. The method comprises assigning first identification data to the apparatus, assigning individual second identification data to all, or almost all, of said technical hardware components, and storing the first and second identification data in at least one of an external database and in a data storage in one or several of said apparatus and the technical hardware components. The first and second identification data provide a unique identification for each of said apparatus and technical hardware components, and each of said first and second identification data also comprises a plurality of identification data items related to different identification dimensions. This identification data may then be used for post-production service, upgrade, replacement and/or repair operations related to the apparatus and/or the technical hardware components.

Abstract: A cleansing device includes a toothbrush body having a handle on a first end and brush bristles on a second end. The second end movable with respect to the first end. A vibrating device is enabled to vibrate the brush bristle end to produce sonic vibrations. A metal anode is the handle and exposed on an outside of the handle and an cathode is positioned near or at the brush bristle end. An electronic circuit substantially within the handle has a mode switch operable to provide electrical potential to the metal anode, the mode switch also operable to cause activation of the vibrating device. A user using the toothbrush completes an electrical circuit to enable ions to flow from the cathode.

Abstract: A razor for shaving hairs has an ionizing device that produces ions during a shaving operation of the razor powered by a single battery. The battery can be a 1.5 Volt button battery to provide power to an ion generator that boost the voltage to about 9 Volts.

Abstract: A clipping display device for use on hats, comprising a base and a clip for suspending the device along the brim of a hat. The device further comprises a top or billboard element attached to the base for displaying advertisement, logos, messages and other visual indicia. A neck element may be provided to connect the billboard element to said base. A front panel provided at a front end of the base balances the device and may also incorporate visual indicia. The device may optionally include interlocking elements for stringing multiple clips for forming a larger or more extensive message.
