Patent number: 8113107Abstract: A system for preparing a beverage comprises a beverage maker (15) and a cartridge (10) that is removably arranged in the beverage maker (15). The cartridge (10) comprises a beverage making unit (1) having a duct system (30) for conveying flows of steam and flows of liquid. The duct system (30) comprises two combinations of ducts (31, 32; 41, 42), wherein the arrangement of the ducts (31, 32; 41, 42) of each combination is adapted to enabling a flow of steam to perform a pumping action on a flow of liquid. The beverage maker (15) comprises a steam generator (16) having two steam sockets (17, 18), wherein each of the steam sockets (17, 18) is in communication with another combination of ducts (31, 32; 41, 42) of the duct system (30). As each of the combinations of ducts (31, 32; 41, 42) is associated with a different steam inlet (36, 46), and the steam inlets (36, 46) may be located at different positions on the cartridge (10), it is achieved that the duct system (30) may be of a relatively simple design.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2006Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Fred Fraij, Edwin Wilco Drost, Paulus Cornelis Duineveld, Marinus Christian Hansen, Hermanus Josephus Kodden, Joeke Noordhuis

Patent number: 7916282Abstract: The surface detection system includes a source of an optical interrogating signal (44) which accompanies a droplet spray in an oral cleaning device directed to an oral surface (46). The interrogating optical signal is reflected from the oral surface which the spray impacts and detected (48). A selected characteristic of the reflected signal, such as intensity, is indicative of the nature of the oral surface, such as either gum tissue or a tooth surface. The detected reflected signal is then processed to determine the nature of the oral reflecting surface. The processor (50) then provides a resulting output signal which can be used to either warn the user concerning the nature of the oral surface or to change the characteristics of the spray appropriately according to the surface (51).Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2007Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Paulus Cornelis Duineveld, Joseph W.

Publication number: 20100304327Abstract: Interproximal cleaning is produced by a combination of fluid droplets producing a certain impact shear stress on the interproximal biofilm combined with shear stress created by the effect of air driving a liquid film (18, 20) in the interproximal surfaces. The shear stress created by the droplets decreases with the depth of the interproximal space, while the shear stress produced by the air-driven liquid film increases with interproximal depth. The combined shear is at least as great as the shear stress necessary to remove biofilm from the interproximal surfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2008Publication date: December 2, 2010Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Joseph W.

Publication number: 20090239192Abstract: The sprayhead device includes a housing (60) having an orifice plate (62) therein with at least one orifice opening (64) therethrough. A liquid line (36) delivers liquid to the sprayhead, where it proceeds through the orifice opening, wherein the liquid flow rate through the orifice and the liquid pressure are sufficiently great relative to the size of the orifice that the liquid moves through the orifice as a continuous stream. Gas is delivered to the housing and gas flows to the interior of the sprayhead through at least two openings (68) in the housing. The gas streams (flows) intercept the liquid flow perpendicularly, approximately 180° apart. The velocity of the gas flows is sufficient to break up the liquid stream from the orifice into a spray of droplets of desired size and velocity, accelerating them out of an acceleration duct (66) exit portion of the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2007Publication date: September 24, 2009Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Paulus Cornelis Duineveld, Alexandra Kulas, Martinus Bernardus Stapelbroek, Jasper Zuidervaart
