A toothbrush apparatus includes a power source coupled to a light source for illuminating the oral cavity of the user to aid in the tooth cleaning process and prevent damage from inaccurate brushing. The light source is arranged away from the bristles and directs light towards the free ends of the bristles to aid the user in identifying areas of the teeth that may need more cleaning. In this manner, the user can more accurately clean all areas and prevent damage to the surrounding gum tissue, while directing appropriate brushing strokes to areas where food debris and plaque are present. The toothbrush may be provided in a manual or automatic version.

A power circuit in a battery powered portable communication terminal, having a battery and a transmission power amplifier for TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) or TDD (Time Division Duplex) signals includes a power accumulator, a battery output current limiter, and a control circuit to control the current limiter and to connect the power accumulator to the battery and to the transmission power amplifier depending on whether the transmission power amplifier is transmitting a signal burst. The control circuit controls the battery to charge the power accumulator during a non-burst period. During burst periods, when the transmission power amplifier requires higher power, the control circuit connects the power accumulator to the transmission power amplifier, to supplement the current-limited current provided by the battery and provide a total current to the power amplifier that is higher than the battery output current.

Disclosed are a user equipment and a method and a system using an extended paging period to page. In the method, the MME/SGSN negotiates with a UE to obtain a first extended paging period; the MME/SGSN sends the first extended paging period and paging indication information which indicates to use the first extended paging period to page to a radio access network; the radio access network sends the first extended paging period in the system information and uses the first extended paging period to send a paging message; the UE selects a second extended paging period according to an extended paging period needed by the UE itself and the first extended paging period, and monitors the paging message according to the second extended paging period. The embodiment of the present application enables a UE in an idle mode to achieve an energy-saving effect by using the extended paging period.

The present invention is a firearm cartridge feeding system to automatically feed firearm cartridges in a successive order one diameter of a firearm cartridge at a time, to the chamber of a bolt action, semi-automatic, or fully automatic firearm until all firearm cartridges in the system are expended. The firearm cartridges are stored in a tight spiral channel side by side to maximize the use of the peripheral space surrounding the area of a magazine well or feed point of a firearm. The housing or body of the firearm feeding system consists of a multiple segment body or housing. The housing contains a spiral channel, clutch mechanism pocket and a spring drive compartment which supports the storage of firearm cartridges and the arrangement of a drive system for feeding the firearm cartridges to the feed lips.

A power module is suggested having a simple and cost-effective arrangement and ensuring a reliable operation. To this end, a circuit arrangement comprising at least one electronic component is arranged on a carrier body. A conductor pattern is formed on the top side of the carrier body, and a structured cooling element made of the material of the carrier body, is provided on the bottom side. The invention also relates to a power module as power converter for electric motors.

An enhanced elastomeric stator assembly and method of making the same is disclosed. The elastomeric stator may be structurally, thermally, and/or chemically enhanced through the incorporation of graphene particles, cross-linkable polymers, coupling agents that extend cross-links, and by the reduction of filler material. The graphene particles can be incorporated in functionalized or non-functionalized form or in a combination thereof, the functionalized graphene increasing the number of cross-links in the overall structure, thereby enhancing the structural robustness of the elastomeric stator. The compound can be formulated to have a relatively low viscosity and other characteristics that allow the material to flow through a mould cavity.

A wireless sensor device of low energy consumption operates over a prolonged period of time for providing a reliable sensor result. The wireless sensor device includes a sensor configured to sense a target object and provide a sensor signal of varying levels indicative of condition of the target object, a signal processing circuit configured to amplify the sensor signal and give an amplified electric analog signal, and a detection circuit configured to receive the amplified analog signal and provide a detection output when the electric analog signal goes beyond a predetermined detection threshold. Also included in the device is a radio transmitter which transmits a radio detection signal in response to the detection output. Further, the device includes a power supply configured to provide an electric power to the signal processing circuit and the radio transmitter; and a power generating element which converts an external energy into the electric power to be accumulated in the power supply. The controller is included to activate the radio transmitter only in response to the detection output, permitting the radio transmitter to generate the radio detection signal. Thus, the radio transmitter can be kept inactivated until receiving the detection output, thereby saving energy to prolong the operating life of the device.

A power supply apparatus has a combined power source with power cells configured electrically independently. A switch arbitrarily changes connection paths of the power cells by selectively connecting power cell terminals through switching elements. A voltage detector detects differences in electrical potentials between the power cell terminals. A controller controls ON-OFF states of the switching elements by controlling the switch by a control signal generated based on voltage signals representing the differences in electrical potentials detected by the voltage detector so as to isolate one of the power cells to stop a supply of electric power therefrom when a voltage generated in the power cell has dropped to a specified voltage or lower. The controller restarts the supply of electric power from the power cell whose power supply has been stopped when the duration of a down time of the power cell has reached a predetermined time or longer.

A progressing cavity device operates as a motor to impart torque to a bit. A stator of the device defines an internal profile having uphole stages with a first dimension being less than a second dimension of downhole stage. A rotor has an external profile with a constant outer dimension along its length. Disposed in the stator, the rotor defines cavities with the stator and is rotatable with pumped fluid progressing in the cavities from the uphole to downhole to transfer torque to the drive toward the downhole end. Although the rotor is subjected at the downhole end to a reactive torque from the bit, the interference fit of the rotor's constant dimension with the stator's downhole stages is less than with the uphole stages, which can mitigate issues with heat buildup in the downhole stages. The device can also operates as a progressing cavity pump.

A power tool includes an output shaft, a planet carrier, and a buffer mechanism. The planet carrier is configured to be rotatably connected with the output shaft to drive the output shaft during operation, and there is a gap between an inner side surface of the planet carrier and a circumferential surface of the output shaft. A buffer mechanism is provided on at least one of the inner side surface of the planet carrier and the circumferential surface of the output shaft near the gap. The buffer mechanism is configured not to actively apply pressure to the output shaft and the planet carrier, and to buffer the impact force between the output shaft and the planet carrier, when the output shaft slides relative to the planet carrier under the action of inertial force.
