Abstract: The present invention relates to a photovoltaic component comprising a superimposed arrangement of at least one inorganic solar cell and at least one organic solar cell. The inorganic solar cell comprises a translucent backside opposite to the organic solar cell. The present invention further relates to a method of producing a photovoltaic component.

Abstract: An electrode for electrically connecting two photovoltaic cells is provided. Each photovoltaic cell may include a plurality of lamellar electrically conductive surface regions. The electrode may include a plurality of electrically conductive wires extending adjacent to one other; and a stabilizing structure coupled to the plurality of electrically conductive wires such that the space between the electrically conductive wires to one another is defined until the plurality of electrically conductive wires has been fixed on the plurality of lamellar electrically conductive surface regions of a photovoltaic cell.

Abstract: Integrated circuit assembly including a die stack assembly having a heat dissipation device thermally coupled to a lateral of surface the die stack assembly. The die stack assembly includes a plurality integrated circuits placed on each other. In another embodiment a heat dissipation device comprising an encapsulant is thermally coupled to and surrounds a die stack assembly that includes a plurality of integrated circuits placed on each other. At least one heat conducting intermediate layer between integrated circuits is thermally coupled to the heat dissipation device.

Abstract: A toothbrush head having an undulating surface with at least one more displaced part and at least one less displaced part and with bristles having a triangular cross section extending from a more displaced part of the bristle face.

Abstract: A toothbrush grip handle made of a plastics material including one or plural voids having an opening at the surface of the grip handle and at least partly closed by a film material.

Abstract: A card package of rectangular cross section suitable for a toothpaste tube, which has a recessed region, made by folding a card blank comprised of four panels with the recessed portion provided by a foldable recess panel.

Abstract: A toothbrush made partly of a hard plastic material and partly of an elastomeric material, characterized in that at least part of the elastomeric material comprises an inner core (23) of a first soft elastomeric material wholly or partly enclosed within an outer flexible skin (24) of a second polymer material having different physical characteristics to the inner core polymer. Processes for making such a toothbrush are also described.

Abstract: A dental cleaning implement such as a toothbrush, having longitudinally disposed first and second parts flexibly joined together. Between the first and second parts is a rotatable member such that when the implement bends the first parts adjacent to the member bear upon the member. The rotatable member has circumferentially disposed relatively softer and harder regions, so that as the member is rotated the parts can be caused to bear compressibly upon selected softer or harder regions.

Abstract: A toothbrush head with having elongated projections made of an elastomer material, having an integral resiliently flexible elastomeric material wiper blade at the end remote from the head. Suitable constructions of projections and wiper blades are disclosed, and combinations with bristles. The wiper blades enhance oral hygiene.

Abstract: A toothbrush having a head which carries a dental cleaning tool, and a grip handle, the head and handle being disposed along a longitudinal head-handle axis, the toothbrush having a resiliently flexible structure which can resiliently bend under the action of toothbrushing pressure and having adjustment means comprising a longitudinally moveable stiffening member which can be moved longitudinally into greater or lesser engagement with the resiliently flexible structure.

Abstract: A tooth brush including a handle and a replaceable bristle insert mounted in a recess formed at the front of the handle. The insert includes front and rear walls interconnected by side walls which taper toward the front wall. The recess of the handle is correspondingly shaped. Locking strips project from the front wall and both side walls of the insert for being snapped into corresponding locking grooves formed in the recess of the handle. Sections of each side wall of the insert and recess are smooth and free of locking strips and locking grooves to create a wedging or clamping action between the handle and insert.
