Patent number: 11382466Abstract: A method for cleansing a desired skin surface, and a device therefor, can include a base to house a jar for the cleansing liquid, a jar for the removed liquid and debris, a pump to deliver the cleansing liquid to a wand applicator, and a pump to suction the cleansing liquid and debris removed from the desired skin surface. The two pumps can be driven by separate motors to allow a user to separately control the amount of liquid dispensed and the magnitude of the suction force applied. The device can also include an infusion enhancer that assists in the opening of the pores of the desired skin surface or by tightening the desired skin surface. The device can further include a self-cleaning tip that allows a cleaning solution to be immediately recycled through the system into the jar for the removed liquid and debris.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2021Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Inventors: Eric Anderson, Vincent Sorrentino

Patent number: 11051921Abstract: A vibrating toothbrush is provided with vibration-isolating zones that substantially isolate vibrations in the head and reduce vibrations transmitted to the handle without sacrificing structural integrity around the vibration-isolation zones. Such zones may generally comprise neck material that is reduced in cross-section, thinned, replaced by dampening material, or removed altogether to create transmission-inhibiting voids. The vibration-isolating zones may be further supported by the housing of the vibratory element to maintain the structural integrity around the zones and to thereby alleviate weakness conditions that might subject the toothbrush to fatigue and breakage.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2019Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Colgate-Palmolive CompanyInventor: Alan Vincent Sorrentino

Publication number: 20170148041Abstract: In one embodiment, a testing server-implemented method for automated testing of a processor-based survey. The method includes: (a) the testing server receiving from a survey tester, via a testing user interface, a uniform resource locator (URL) of a survey residing on a survey hosting server, the survey hosting server having a processor adapted to administer, via a survey-taking interface, the survey to obtain survey data from survey-taking users; (b) the testing server traversing at least a portion of the survey; (c) the testing server analyzing the survey to generate one or more test results; and (d) the testing server providing the one or more test results to the survey tester via the testing user interface. The traversing includes: (b1) the testing server receiving survey content from the survey hosting server; and (b2) the testing server providing test data to the survey hosting server to simulate survey-taking-user-provided survey data.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2015Publication date: May 25, 2017Applicant: Survey Sampling International, LLCInventors: Christopher Stevens, Kevin Franzman, Vincent Sorrentino, Zachary William Lysobey, Ken Roe, Edward David Zotter

Patent number: 7065821Abstract: A powered toothbrush provides movement of cleaning elements which replicate the preferred method of cleaning teeth, namely up-and-down movement on the surface of the user's teeth. This preferred movement is obtained by translating rotational movement of a motor, first into reciprocation movement within the toothbrush through the interaction of a cam follower and helical tracks, and then translation of the reciprocating movement into oscillating movement of the cleaning elements through a limited arc. The translation of rotational to reciprocating movement is achieved through interaction of a cam follower in a helical track. The translation of reciprocating movement to oscillating movement is achieved through reciprocating movement of a volute through a mating groove in the head of the toothbrush.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2003Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: Colgate-Palmolive CompanyInventors: Joseph Edward Fattori, Alan Vincent Sorrentino
