Abstract: A toothbrush head having a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface is described herein. The head has a first portion, a second portion, and an opening between the first portion and the second portion. The opening extends from the top surface to the bottom surface. A first plurality of contact elements are positioned on the first portion and the second portion. A second plurality of contact elements are positioned on the first portion and the second portion. Each of the second plurality of contact elements has an elastomer.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel application of hard, low friction aluminum magnesium boride (AlMgB14, also known as BAM) based ceramic coatings to surfaces of razor components and in particular to blade edges of razor blades. On razor blade edges, these coatings may elevate blade performance, while also simplifying the manufacturing process.

Abstract: Disclosed is an intraoral imaging method that includes providing an intraoral imaging device having at least one biteplate including a dental impression material and a track, at least one carriage assembly that travels along at least a portion of the track, and imaging equipment which is secured to the at least one carriage assembly; locating the at least one biteplate between upper and lower teeth of the subject such that the dental impression material cooperates with at least one of the upper and lower teeth to provide repeatable registration within an oral cavity of the subject; and obtaining image data using the imaging equipment.

Abstract: A low profile floor console for a vehicle includes a pair of end walls. In a lowered position, the console permits pass through between two spaced apart vehicle seats. When raised, fabric or netting attached, together with the end walls define a storage area. In the preferred embodiment, an add-on module fits over the raised end walls to provide a rigid storage area, and additional functionality, such as a tray, a power port, cup holders, change bins, and the like. The lid of the module may be configured for sliding or pivotal movement to allow access to the interior thereof. Also in the preferred embodiment, the floor console is constructed to trim out a parking brake assembly. In various alternate embodiments, the floor console end walls may be constructed to provide additional functionality, such as internal map pockets, and the console system may be arranged for use at different locations within the vehicle, such as in the cargo area.

Abstract: The present invention generally provides a running tool comprising a torque-dampening system. A first portion and a second portion of the running tool are operably related by a torsion interface. In one embodiment, the torsion interface includes a plurality of interlaced teeth disposed on the each of the first and second portions. During relative rotation of the first and second portions, the teeth engage and “ride up” on one another, thereby forcing the first and second portions in opposite axial directions. At least one of the portions houses a flow restrictor assembly adapted to restrict fluid flow from one region to another during the axial movement of the portions. Accordingly, the relative rotation between the portions is inhibited, or dampened.
