Publication number: 20210316297Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and methods for liquid transfer and performing reactions. In one aspect, a system includes a liquid transfer device having a housing having a pipette tip and a plunger assembly; and a reaction chamber, wherein the housing of the liquid transfer device is configured to sealably engage with the reaction chamber. In another aspect, a liquid transfer device including a housing having a pipette tip; and a plunger assembly disposed within the housing and the pipette tip, wherein a portion of the plunger assembly is configured to engage a fluid reservoir such that the plunger assembly remains stationary relative to the fluid reservoir and the housing moves relative to the plunger assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2021Publication date: October 14, 2021Inventors: Simon Roderick Grover, Paul Graham Wilkins, Nick David Rollings, Peter Laurence Mayne, Wai Ting Chan, Natalie Frances Scott, Olivier Fernand Flick, Henry Charles Innes, Martyn Gray Darnbrough Beedham, Nicholas David Long, Richard John Hammond

Patent number: 11083281Abstract: Various operational mode arrangements of an electric toothbrush (10) include pre-programming a controller portion (16) of the electric toothbrush such that a single brushing event of approximately two minutes comprises automatically at least two different operating modes and specified times for each mode. Another operational mode includes the capability of operating the on/off button (20) of the toothbrush within a specified short time following termination of a normal brushing event to provide the user a specified additional time, e.g. 30 seconds of toothbrush action. A special toothbrush interface arrangement includes a display (80) which encourages children to maintain brushing for the full brushing period. This is accomplished through sequential illustration of the progress of an article from an initial state to a final desired state as the toothbrush is used for increasing portions of a full brushing time period.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2017Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Charles B. Cook, Joseph W. Grez, Wolter F. Benning, Christopher Dabrowski, Rick Peterson, Gregg Heard, Martyn Gray Darnbrough Beedham, Hanne Lindholt Caspersen
