Abstract: Embodiments relate to a sensing device configured to sense the environment of an antenna in a wireless communications or wireless power transfer device without impacting data signal or transferred power integrity. By incorporating a sensing device in the wireless device that operates outside the data signal operating and operational power transfer frequency(s) of the antenna, send/receive data signal integrity may be retained while sensing the environment of the antenna. The sensing device may further use properties of the sensed environment to adjust the configuration of a tunable antenna to decrease signal degradation due to the environment and increase battery life or power transfer efficiency of the wireless device.

Abstract: A sensor-responsive toothbrush that can adjust its output or operation depending upon information received by one or more sensors incorporated in the toothbrush or as selected by a user. The information typically relates to certain conditions or the presence of particular substances or agents within or outside of the oral cavity. The sensor-responsive toothbrush also includes one or more responsive output components that provide a responsive output in response to the sensed information. A method of providing an oral care benefit, comprising steps of: activating a toothbrush comprising a sensor; detecting a sensor input with the sensor; and initiating a responsive output from the toothbrush in response to the sensor input.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions for delivering one or more oral care substances to the oral cavity, comprising: (a) a silicone pressure sensitive adhesive selected from a silicone/resin copolymer with silicon-bonded hydroxyl radicals, a silicone/resin copolymer with endcapped silicon-bonded hydroxyl radicals and mixtures thereof; (b) a plasticizing material; (c) a water-soluble bioadhesive polymer; (d) a hydrophilic surfactant, and (e) at least one oral care substance. The silicone/resin copolymer is prepared by polycondensing a silanol endblocked polydialkylsiloxane and a hydroxyl endblocked silicate resin. The polycondensation product may be further reacted with a trialkylsilyl endcapping agent to reduce the number of hydroxyl radicals in the polymer. Further disclosed are methods of using these compositions, such as for teeth bleaching and whitening applications.

Abstract: A system and method for treating onychomycosis and skin conditions such as urushiol-induced allergic contact dermatitis comprises coating the affected nail or skin with a solution comprising an at least a primary diamine with modified diphenylmethane diisocyanates and a carrier solvent/reactant. A secondary diamine may be mixed with the primary diamine in an oligomeric, stoichiometrically balanced blend. Upon topical application, the carrier solvent/reactant evaporates, allowing polymerization of the remaining solution constituents to form a non-toxic, hydrophobic, elastomeric polyureathane linked copolymer coating that provides a barrier against moisture impregnation, inhibiting the growth of dermatophytes and urushiol-infected skin cells.

Abstract: A toothbrush having an electrically powered element disposed on a head of an electric toothbrush. The electrically powered element can be a light emitting element such as a light emitting diode. Further the electrically powered element can serve as a pin and/or axis of motion for a movable bristle holder positioned along the face of the brush head.

Abstract: An exit window for an X-ray lithography beamline having a shape and thickness such that the exit window can withstand a pressure differential of at least 14.7 psi and allows an X-ray beam as passed through the window to have X-rays above and below a desired energy band substantially attenuated. The exit window includes a thin material having a window section disposed within an opening of a frame and a peripheral section which is integral with the window section and extends within the frame. The window section has a shape that is substantially concave along its width, substantially linear along its length and tapers to a flat surface near the periphery of the opening. A method of scanning the X-ray beam through a stationary exit window and onto an exposure field on a wafer is also disclosed.
