Abstract: A droplet for delivering toothpaste to a user can be provided. The droplet can include a dissolvable outer membrane defining a volume with toothpaste inside the volume. The outer membrane can be formed from dissolvable film strip technology and include a tail or corner portion, which is configured to be embedded into the bristles of a toothbrush. In one aspect of this embodiment, the outer membrane of the droplet can form a pillow-like shape. The droplet further can include one or more extensions coupled to the outer surface of the outer membrane, where the one or more extensions can have a triangular shape, a barb shape or the like. In one aspect of this embodiment, the droplet further can include a logo, a cartoon character, a word or the like printed on the outer membrane. The plurality of extensions can form irregularities on the outer surface of the body section of the outer membrane.

Abstract: An electric field resistor includes N coils. N coils encircle a common center in sequence, and each of the coils has a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein the first terminal of the first coil receives a first reference voltage, the second terminal of the Nth coil receives a second reference voltage. The second terminal of the ith coil is coupled to the first terminal of the (i+1)th coil, wherein N is a positive integer greater than 1 and 1?i<N. Besides, a distance between the ith coil and the (i+1)th coil is in direct proportion to a voltage difference between the first terminal and the second terminal of the (i+1)th coil.

Abstract: The invention is in the field of electrical resistance heaters, especially heaters for tubes, pipes, or flexible hose. More particularly, the invention is directed to an electrical heater formed as a strip that is permanently set in the shape of a helix. According to an aspect of the invention, an electrical heater is provided comprising a flexible electrical insulation strip bounded by a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge, wherein the flexible electrical insulation strip is permanently set as a helix such that the first longitudinal edge is adjacent to the second longitudinal edge; and, a flexible electrical heating element encapsulated within the electrical insulation strip.

Abstract: A heater coil for an electron tube includes a spiral wire which is double wound to be cylindrical, and a connection wire which is formed on an upper face of the spiral wire in a horizontal plane. The connection wire is shaped to have at least two bent portions on the same plane.

Abstract: A resistance heater for performing heat treatment of the braze-affected area of a metallic sleeve attached by brazing within and to a metallic tube, comprises a metal tube (10) of which a portion (16) is formed with a spiral groove (11) which penetrates the wall thickness of the tube (10) and thereby defines a heating coil. The radial thickness of the convolutions of the coil varies lengthwise of the coil so that, when energized with electrical current, the coil develops a temperature profile which is determined by the variation in radial thickness. The temperature profile may be selected according to the needs of the brazed joint to be heat treated.

Abstract: A support for an electric heating element comprises a former of generally cylindrical shape, made of a heat resisting material and having a longitudinal core from which extend spaced ribs that support an outer wall. Portions of the outer wall and of the ribs are omitted along a helical path around the core to provide a mount for an electric heating element. A heating element assembly including the support and the heating element is mounted in a hot air gun.

Abstract: This specification discloses a cut-in resistance for motor vehicle heating fans with a first resistance wire winding which can be cut into an electric fan motor either alone or in series with a second resistance wire winding. The first winding is arranged in the interior of a ceramic tube and the second winding is arranged on the outside of the ceramic tube. The ceramic tube is retained solely by the ends of the resistance wires which are passed upwards to a ceramic plate and clamped by flat plug contacts. This produces a compact arrangement wherein the ceramic material can safely store generated heat without danger of heat damage to adjacent plastic components.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a heater, primarily for pressure furnaces for extremely high temperatures for isostatic compression. The resistance elements of the heater are arranged between two metal rings at different levels which are supported by conductors. The resistance elements comprise two groups of wires arranged in a righthand and a lefthand spiral, respectively. The wires are joined together at the intersection points by means of lashing.

Abstract: A porcupine wire coil of electric resistance wire is positioned in a tube having an electrically insulating inside in which the peaks or looped ends of the coil convolutions are embedded so as to hold the coil convolutions spaced from each other. When the coil is energized, fluid flowed through the tube can be heated.

Abstract: A fault current limiting resistor for high energy dissipation includes a frustro-conical support structure where the resistor wire is wound on the support structure in the form of a three dimensional spiral. This provides optimum voltage clearances even when the wire may sag due to thermal expansion.
