  • Publication number: 20240147675
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system and method embodiments for a cooling system. For example, the cooling system includes a chassis that defines a cavity. A circuit board assembly is disposed in the cavity and comprises electronics that generate heat during operation. A heat sink is coupled to the electronics and is configured to engage an inner surface of the chassis. A fan is configured to direct air across the heat sink. An external cooling subsystem is mounted to at least one external surface of the chassis. The external cooling subsystem is in thermal communication with the circuit board assembly through the heat sink for transferring heat generated by the electronics.

  • Publication number: 20210137176
    Abstract: A moisture wicking bib assembly for wearing on a person for inhibiting rash or skin breakdown includes a bib that is worn on an person to cover a torso of the person. The bib has a first layer is comprised of a moisture wicking material to draw moisture inwardly therein. The bib has a second layer is comprised of a fluid absorbent material to absorb moisture is wicked by the first layer. The bib has a third layer is comprised of a fluid impermeable material. An adhesive layer is coupled to the bib to adhere to the person's torso.

  • Patent number: 7155828
    Abstract: A shaving aid delivery system for a shaving system includes a razor head having a resilient reservoir for holding a shaving aid and a piezoelectric ceramic disposed adjacent the resilient reservoir. The delivery system also includes a shaving strip disposed within the razor head, an actuator and an ejection port. The shaving strip is oriented to engage the skin of a user during a shaving stroke and the actuator electrically couples to the piezoelectric ceramic such that, upon activation, the actuator causes deformation of the piezoelectric ceramic which, in turn, deforms the resilient reservoir and forces the shaving aid from the reservoir through the ejection port. Alternatively, the actuator may include a shape memory alloy which, upon transformation between states, deforms the reservoir and forces the shaving aid from the reservoir through the ejection port.

  • Patent number: 7111400
    Abstract: A shaving aid delivery system for a shaving system includes a razor head having a reservoir for holding a shaving aid and a heating apparatus disposed adjacent the reservoir. The delivery system also includes a shaving strip disposed within the razor head, an actuator and an ejection port. The shaving strip is oriented to engage the skin of a user during a shaving stroke and the actuator electrically couples to the heating apparatus to cause volumetric expansion of the shaving aid when activated. The ejection port directs the shaving aid from the reservoir onto the shaving strip upon activation of the actuator.

  • Patent number: 6763590
    Abstract: A shaving aid delivery system for a razor assembly includes a cartridge assembly having a reservoir for storing a fluid shaving aid and skin care topicals, and channels for communicating the shaving aid to a shaving surface of the cartridge assembly. A spring driven piston assembly drives shaving aid from the reservoir to the shaving surface. A clutch assembly controls the movement of the piston assembly, the clutch assembly being movable between an engaged position wherein the movement of the piston assembly is prevented and a released position wherein the movement of the piston assembly is permitted. The clutch assembly is movable to the released position in response to a force applied to the shaving surface of the cartridge. A visual indicator alerts the user as to the amount of shaving aid remains in the reservoir and when replacement is due.
