  • Publication number: 20200262093
    Abstract: A razor blade having an improved lubricious material deposited thereon and a method of making a razor blade for a razor cartridge having such a material disposed thereon are described herein. A novel printing process and printing material are provided where at least one printing material is deposited on one or more razor blades via a printing process which includes one or more print heads for printing the at least one printing material and forming at least one printed object on a tip or one or more sides of the razor blade. The printing material may comprise about of about 0.25% solid to about 50% solids by weight of composition of telomer and further desirably comprises glycerol and/or an antifoam material. Optimizing coverage of the printing material may be achieved by changing materials, print heads, the firing frequency of the print head or angling or rotating the print heads.

  • Patent number: 9026188
    Abstract: A measurement apparatus comprises a probe system (100) operably coupled, when in use, to a processing resource (134). The probe system (100) and the processing resource (134) are arranged, when in use, to measure an apparent thickness change of a volume of the medium (108) to be measured and to determine a physiological parameter using the measurement of the apparent thickness change.

  • Patent number: 8696128
    Abstract: An optical measurement apparatus comprises an optical system (100) having a receiving axis (115). The optical system (100) comprises a source (102) that generates a probe beam that is directed to a location to be measured (114). A detector (112) of the optical system receives a reflected beam from the location to be measured (114). The apparatus also comprises a processing resource that receives an output signal from the detector (112) and makes an assessment of a characteristic of the output signal in order to determine a degree of alignment of the location to be measured (114) with the receiving axis (115) of the optical system (100).

  • Patent number: 8011785
    Abstract: An optical measurement apparatus comprises an optical system. The optical system comprises a source and an image capture device. The source is arranged to generate, when in use, a beam of electromagnetic radiation. Further, the optical system is arranged to direct the beam of electromagnetic radiation to a location to be measured. The optical measurement apparatus also comprises a feedback arrangement arranged to receive a reflected beam from the location to be measured and to provide feedback information in response to receipt of the reflected beam, the feedback information being indicative of degree of alignment of the location to be measured with the optical system.
