Patent number: 12287488Abstract: A headset device may include a facial interface having an inflatable bladder. The inflatable bladder may be configured to conform to facial contours of a face of a user when the headset device is worn. In examples, the inflatable bladder may include one or more bladder sections that may be filled with a fluid. In some examples, based in part on receiving an input, a pressure within one or more bladder sections may be adjusted from a first pressure to a second pressure in part by adjusting a volume of fluid within the one or more bladder sections of the inflatable bladder.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2023Date of Patent: April 29, 2025Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Christopher Sa Glaister, Meng Peng

Patent number: 10631965Abstract: A whitening smart pen apparatus (10) for automatically dispensing a teeth whitening substance onto one or more teeth of a user comprises a fluid reservoir (16), a nozzle (18) having an output port (26), a fluid dispenser (20), a sensor (22) and a controller (24). The fluid dispenser dispenses the teeth whitening substance from the fluid reservoir to the nozzle and is output via the output port. The sensor, positioned in an advance dispensing direction of the nozzle, senses a target surface that comprises either (i) a tooth surface (12) or (ii) other surface (14). The controller (24) is configured for (i) controlling a gating of the fluid dispenser (20) to dispense the teeth whitening substance from the fluid reservoir (16) in response to the sensor (22) detecting the tooth surface (12), and (ii) stopping or disabling the gating of the fluid dispenser to stop or disable a dispensing of the teeth whitening substance from the fluid reservoir in response to the sensor (22) detecting the other surface (14).Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2017Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Vincent Jeanne, Meng Peng, Jianxun Feng, Wan-Tzu Chen, Evan Dak Wah Dengler, Sungsoo Lee

Patent number: 10512529Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2015Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Scott Robert Wills, Meng Peng, Sungsoo Lee
