A personal care system has a personal care device including a memory unit, a display unit, a first wireless communication unit, and a separate input device comprising a second wireless communication unit arranged for wireless communication with the first wireless communication unit. The separate input device is arranged for allowing a user to provide text data or picture data or for selecting text data or picture data from a database, wherein the separate input device is arranged to wirelessly send the provided or selected text or picture data to the personal care device, which is arranged to receive the wirelessly sent data and to store that into a memory of the memory unit and to use the received data in replacement of previously stored default text data or picture data for user communication on the display unit.

Personal care system

A personal care appliance with a flexible circuit board having a first end portion, a second end portion and a flexible bridge between the first end portion and the second end portion. A first rigid circuit board is mounted to the first end portion of the flexible circuit board. A second rigid circuit board is mounted to the second end portion of the flexible circuit board and folded over the first rigid circuit board. At least one electronic component that emits electromagnetic waves is mounted to the first rigid circuit board. A flexible antenna is in electrical communication with first rigid circuit board. The flexible antenna has a top surface with a copper track facing away from the first rigid circuit board in a folded position.

A second rigid circuit board is mounted to the second end portion of the flexible circuit board and folded over the first rigid circuit board. At least one electronic component that emits electromagnetic waves is mounted to the first rigid circuit board. A flexible shield is folded over the at least one electronic component.

Personal care appliance and a method of assembling

A personal hygiene device has a resonant motor and a motor control unit for applying a periodic voltage signal with a driving frequency at the resonant motor for driving the resonant motor into an oscillating motion with an oscillating frequency equal to the driving frequency. The motor control unit comprises a synthesizer circuit for digitally synthesizing the periodic voltage signal from voltage pulses of variable length provided with a pulse frequency higher than the driving frequency such that at least two voltage pulses are applied at least in one of two half cycles of each period of the periodic voltage signal.

Personal hygiene device with resonant motor

In one embodiment, an oral-care system is provided. The oral-care system includes an electric toothbrush having a motor, a power source in electrical communication with the motor, and a bristle holder operatively connected to the motor. A display is in data communication with the electric toothbrush.

Personal care products and methods

An inductive charger for charging a hand-held appliance is disclosed. The inductive charger includes a charger coil surrounding a magnetic core, the magnetic core forming at least a part of a charger projection, wherein the charger projection is surrounded by the charger coil which is adapted to be inserted, together with the charger projection of the magnetic core, into a charging recess of the hand-held appliance.

Inductive charger for hand held appliances

An electric toothbrush with a removable brush section having a transponder communicating with a handle portion of the toothbrush via a non-contacting inductive coupling.

Dental cleaning device

The invention is directed to a method and a device for cleaning teeth wherein a variety of cleaning tools are coupled to a common handle section for the individual cleaning of teeth. It relates in particular to a handle section of an electric dental cleaning device, with a coupling section for coupling various cleaning tools thereto, as well as said cleaning tools. According to the invention the handle section detects a coding provided on the respective cleaning tool attached. In dependence upon the respective coding detected, various functions of the dental cleaning device are controlled.
