Patent number: 11534282Abstract: A multi-component housing having a length and comprising at least a first component comprising a first plastic material, a second component comprising a second plastic material, and a third component comprising a third plastic material. The housing includes at least one tolerance-elimination element made of the second plastic material and longitudinally attached to the first component along the housing's longitudinal axis. The tolerance-elimination element has an average length extending parallel to the housing's longitudinal axis, which average length is at least ten times less than the length of the housing. The third component at least partially forms an outer surface of the housing, so that the tolerance-elimination element is at least partially overmolded by the third plastic material.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2019Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Braun GmbHInventors: Marc Kunz, Werner Huebscher, Kris Lueckel, Sven Schäfer, Stefan Gehard Triebig

Patent number: 11254084Abstract: A plurality of mass-produced identical multi-component housings for toothbrush handles, each housing having a length of about 120-200 mm, which is at least three times greater than a maximal orthogonal dimension thereof. Each housings includes at least a first component made of a first hard-plastic material, a second component made of a second hard-plastic material, and a third component made of a soft-plastic material, which are integrally joined together to form a generally tubular structure. Each housing includes a tolerance-elimination element made of the second plastic material, attached to one of first component's ends, at least partially overmolded by the soft-plastic material, and having an average length of about 3-20 mm, which average length varies among at least some of the tolerance-elimination elements by a lengthwise dimension that is at least ten times greater than the lengthwise maximal dimension variations of the length among the individual multi-component housings.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Braun GmbHInventors: Marc Kunz, Werner Huebscher, Kris Lueckel, Sven Schäfer, Stefan Gehard Triebig

Patent number: 8723063Abstract: A button assembly for displaying an illuminated symbol with a locking ring having an outer surface. A solid light guide is positioned within and spaced apart from the locking ring. The light guide has a top surface for displaying an illuminated symbol and a bottom surface with a light receiving member having a refracting surface with a first lens member for receiving and directing light to the top surface of the light guide. A resilient sealing member is mounted on the locking ring and interconnects the locking ring and the light guide. The sealing member has an unsupported portion that facilitates movement of the light guide relative to the locking ring.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2012Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: The Gillette CompanyInventors: Fred Schnak, Stefan Rehbein, Gerd Laschinski, Klaus Günther Amsel, Werner Hübscher, Herbert Lessiak

Patent number: 4324258Abstract: In an ultrasonic Doppler flowmeter system for the measurement, imaging and mapping of blood flow, a transducer coupled to a patient's skin is caused to emit pulses of high frequency ultrasound waves. The resulting echo signals are received by the transducer, demodulated into quadrature components, sampled into a large plurality of channels, and digitized. An improved stationary filter circuit utilizing a finite iteration then suppresses unwanted masking "clutter", i.e., low frequency but large amplitude signals from stationary tissue interfaces, with significantly improved response time and dynamic range, while providing good resolution. The Doppler frequency period of the moving acoustic scatterers is obtained by passing the remaining signal through a zero crossing detector.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1980Date of Patent: April 13, 1982Inventors: Werner Huebscher, Max Anliker
