  • Publication number: 20230404729
    Abstract: A wear-out assessment for an oral care system (14) (e.g. an oral cleaning device) is disclosed. A sensor unit (16) of the oral care system is adapted to provide a sensor signal related to a cleaning efficacy of a cleaning function of the oral care system. The sensor unit (16) may be, or may be coupled to, a component which is used during execution of an oral care function of the device, for example a sensor for detecting cleaning progress in the mouth, or a component which drives a cleaning or treatment action in the mouth. The sensor signal (20) is used for performing a wear-out assessment via monitoring characteristics of a signal which is indicative of progress of the oral cleaning efficacy during an operation session (e.g. a clean level in the mouth) and monitoring a length of time that it takes for a certain threshold of efficacy to be reached in a session. If the length of time is over a certain threshold, this can be an indication that the relevant components of the oral care system are wearing out.

  • Publication number: 20230404252
    Abstract: An oral care system (10) comprises an oral care device (12). The oral care device is designed to either comprise or attach to a cleaning or treatment portion (14), e.g. a brush head or mouthpiece. The oral care device thus has a cleaning or treatment function. The oral care device is further provided with an electromagnetic (EM) field or radiation generator (22) adapted to generate and emit radio or microwave frequency electromagnetic energy in a space around an emitter arrangement (24) (sanitization area) used to emit the radiation or field. The EM emissions are configured to have electromagnetic properties suitable for heating water or water-containing fluid located within the sanitization area (34). This allows for a sanitization or disinfection function in a dedicated mode, wherein the EM emissions of the EM generator causes heating to a temperature of at least 50° C., preferably at least 70° C.

  • Publication number: 20230412875
    Abstract: A synthesized, advertisement-based, video stream is generated first by receiving a video stream essentially consisting of a representative image of a person, a video stream comprising a place, and a video stream comprising an advertisement, and then combining the video stream essentially consisting of the representative image of the person with the video stream comprising the place and with the video stream comprising the advertisement into the synthesized, advertisement-based, video stream for transmission to an end-user device via which to display the synthesized, advertisement-based, video stream.

  • Publication number: 20230412359
    Abstract: Techniques for updating blockchains using a proof of work determined serially include receiving a block of data for inclusion in a new block of a blockchain; deterministically determining an initial nonce, hashing a combination of the block of data and the initial nonce to create a hashed value; iteratively deterministically determining an updated nonce based on a combination of the hashed value and updating the hashed value by hashing the updated nonce until the updated hashed value satisfies a proof of work criteria; creating the new block based on the block of data, the initial nonce, and the updated hashed value that satisfies the proof of work criteria; and having the new block stored in the blockchain.

  • Patent number: 11840952
    Abstract: An aftertreatment device includes flow guides disposed within a dosing conduit. Exhaust enters through a perforated region of the dosing conduit and passes through the flow guides. The flow guides induce swirling or other turbulence to mix injected reactant with the exhaust gas. Various types of flow guides include cantilevered vanes, guide passageways, and louvered openings of a second conduit. Some types of flow guides induce localized mixing to inhibit deposit formation at the doser mounting unit. Other types of flow guides induce mixing downstream of the dosing conduit.

  • Publication number: 20230377266
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a gradient modeling application automatically generates designs of three-dimensional (3D) objects. The gradient modeling application generates a set of points based on a resolution and a perimeter. The gradient modeling application computes a set of displacement values based on the set of points, a first two-dimensional (2D) border, and a first displacement parameter that is associated with the first 2D border. Based on the set of displacement values, the gradient modeling application generates a 3D object design.
