Abstract: A framework section having a connection region which is formed on the end face of at least one of its two ends. The connection region can be connected to the connection region of a further framework section. The framework section can include two upper chord sections and two lower chord sections, which extend parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction of the framework section and are connected to one another by connecting struts such that they define a cuboid space. The upper chord sections and the lower chord sections can have a tubular cross section, wherein the upper chord sections and the lower chord sections can also be configured to transition from the tubular cross section into an I-shaped cross section in the connection region.

Abstract: A process for producing a formulation that is solid at up to a temperature of at least 60° C., wherein (a) at least one nonionic surfactant of the general formula (I), R1—CH(OH)—CH2-(AO)x—R2 (I) (wherein: R1 is C4-C20-alkyl, R2 is C8-C20-alkyl, AO are each independently C2-C4-alkylene, and x is in a range from 5 to 100), is mixed in a molten state with (b) at least one second substance selected from polyethylene glycol and nonionic surfactants different from surfactants of general formula (I), confectioned, mixed and ground in the solid state with (c) silica or silicate and (d) at least one auxiliary selected from alkali metal citrate, alkali metal carbonate or at least one chelating agent selected from compounds of the general formula (II), R3—CH(COOM1)-N(CH2COOM1)2 (II) (wherein: R3 is C1-C4-alkyl, phenyl, benzyl, CH2OH and CH2CH2COOM1, and M1 is an alkali metal or a combination of at least two alkali metals). Furthermore granules and their use.

Abstract: A toothbrush comprises a head including a plurality of cleaning elements attached to the head, a handle, a neck extending between the head and the handle, a motor unit including a motor and a manual winder for manually energizing the motor, and a force sensor configured to detect a user-applied force exceeding a predetermined threshold force, wherein the force sensor causes the toothbrush to produce at least one of an audible signal and a tactile signal when the user-applied force exceeds a predetermined threshold force. An audible signal and a tactile signal may comprise, respectively, muting of the motor and interruption of vibration of the toothbrush.

Abstract: An oral-care implement having a longitudinal axis, a bristle carrier, and a plurality of cleaning including a spring-loaded cleaning element movably disposed in a channel formed in the bristle carrier and comprising a spring portion disposed in the channel and a projecting portion longitudinally adjacent to the spring portion and outwardly extending from the channel at an angle of projection relative to the longitudinal axis. The spring portion can elastically deform inside the channel to conform to the channel's shape, thereby causing the projecting portion to change its length and angle of projection.

Abstract: A prober system comprises a chuck, sensor and processing circuit. The chuck is configured to horizontally move a semiconductor wafer having a plurality of dies to position a selected group of the dies for parallel testing and vertically move the wafer to press the selected group of dies in contact with probes of a tester probe card. The sensor is configured to measure the vertical movement of the chuck when the wafer is on the chuck. The processing circuit is configured to control the horizontal and vertical movement of the chuck to test different groups of the dies, determine a total number of touchdowns between the wafer and the probes based on the vertical movement of the chuck measured by the sensor and associate each of the touchdowns with a location of the wafer contacted by the probes during that touchdown. A corresponding test data analysis system is also provided.
