Abstract: A system for tracking and storing data associated with a personal care routine, the system including: a personal care implement having a section at least partially made from a magnetic and/or ferromagnetic material, and a magnetic guide to which the personal care implement is magnetically attachable and detachable, wherein the magnetic guide includes a guidance tool, the guidance tool being activated to track and store data by detaching the personal care implement from the magnetic guide.

Abstract: A magnetic personal guide for guiding a user through a personal care routine is adapted for releasably holding a personal care implement. The personal care implement includes a section at least partially made from a magnetic and/or ferromagnetic material. The magnetic personal guide includes: a guidance tool, the guidance tool being activated by detaching the personal care implement from the magnetic personal care guide; and an electro-chrome display providing a signal guiding the user through the personal care routine when the guidance tool is activated. A personal care guidance system for guiding a user through a personal care routine that includes such magnetic personal care guide and a personal care implement comprising a section at least partially made from a magnetic and/or ferromagnetic material.

Abstract: A kit for supporting an environmentally sustainable personal care routine, the kit including: a personal care implement that includes a section at least partially made from a magnetic and/or ferromagnetic material, and a magnetic personal care guide to which the personal care implement is magnetically attachable and detachable, the magnetic personal care guide including a guidance tool, the guidance tool being activated and providing guidance on environmentally sustainable behavior by detaching the personal care implement from the magnetic personal care guide.

Abstract: A kit that includes a personal care implement having a section at least partially made from a magnetic and/or ferromagnetic material, and a magnetic holder to which the personal care implement is magnetically attachable and detachable, the magnetic holder having a timer, the timer being activated by detaching the personal care implement from the magnetic holder.

Abstract: An ionizing hair-care appliance includes a voltage source, an electrical conductor electrically connected to the voltage source, and an ionization electrode comprising a tip and electrically connected to the voltage source by the electrical conductor. The electrode is disposed within an ionization chamber defined by the hair-care appliance and defining an unobstructed opening through which the electrode tip is exposed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a microfabricated reaction chamber system and a method of fluid transport. The system may be used, for example, in a method of carrying out a nucleic acid sequence amplification and detection process on a nucleic acid sample. The microfabricated chamber system comprises an inlet port and/or an outlet port and a variable volume chamber in fluid communication with said port(s), wherein altering the volume of the variable volume chamber effects and/or restricts flow of a fluid sample to and/or from said port(s).
