Abstract: This method can be used to locate or identify an object in an electrically conductive medium with a detection system that comprises n electrodes in direct electrical contact with the conductive medium. The n electrodes can be placed in at least three different states: transmitting, receiving, disconnected. Before a series of measurements, the operating point of the detection system is determined according to a given a priori setpoint, or a previous configuration of the system, or a previous measurement result of one of the electrodes, by the configuration of the state of each of the electrodes, the frequency of a sinusoidal component of an electrical signal transmitted by one of the transmitting electrodes, or the amplitude of the electrical signal transmitted by one of the electrodes configured in the transmitting or receiving state.

Abstract: A shaving razor cartridge having a housing with a primary guard and a secondary cap. A bridge member is integrally molded as part of the housing. A plurality of spaced apart parallel ribs of the bridge member extend transverse to the cutting edge of the first blade. The plurality of spaced part ribs define a primary cap surface and a secondary guard surface. A first blade mounted to the housing between the primary guard and the primary cap surface. A second blade having a cutting edge extends in a same direction as the cutting edge of the first blade and is mounted to the housing between the secondary guard surface and the secondary cap. The plurality of spaced apart parallel ribs define a plurality of rinse openings extending thru the bridge member.
