  • Patent number: 10512529
    Abstract: An oral care appliance (100), such as an electric toothbrush, utilizing non-linear resonant systems is described herein. In one exemplary embodiment, the oral care appliance includes a longitudinal shaft (102), a brush head (130), and a handle (190). The handle includes a motor (140) that generates a first amplitude (404) for the brush head based on the brush head being outside of the user's mouth, when no mass is applied to the brush head. In response to the brush head being inside of the user's mouth, when mass is applied, such as by pressing the brush head against the teeth, the motor causes a second amplitude (410) to be generated for the brush head that is larger than the first amplitude.

  • Patent number: 7555271
    Abstract: A method for single side band transmissions begins by mixing, in a current domain, an in-phase component of outbound formatted data with an in-phase component of a local oscillation to produce a first mixed signal. The method continues by mixing, in the current domain, a quadrature phase component of the outbound formatted data with a quadrature component of the local oscillation to produce a second mixed signal. The method continues by summing the first and second mixed signals to produce a radio frequency signal. The method continues by amplifying the radio frequency signal prior to transmission.
