An electric device which removes supragingival and sub-gingival plaque and undesirable debris from the interproximal surfaces between teeth is described. This device utilizes a combination of sonic energy and dental floss which is secured between two tines, the tines being part of a flexible fork which is removable from a powered handle which contains batteries and an electric motor. The electric motor, which is coupled to an eccentrically mounted disc on an output shaft, revolves at sonic frequencies which in turn generates sonic energy that is transmitted to the flexible fork which holds the floss. The sonic energy is synchronized and in tune with the natural resonance frequencies of the fork thereby stimulating the resonance action of oscillating vertical and/or elliptical movement of the fork which in turn imparts cleaning energy to and enhances the cleaning properties of the floss. The flexible fork may be removed from the handle and replaced with other dental cleaning tools such as a brush, a pick, and/or a tray attachment.

A toothbrush provides a head with bristles, a neck and a handle. An eccentrically rotational weight is engaged for rotation with a motor, the weight disposed within the head. The motor is disposed within the handle. The head and neck are integrally formed with a natural resonance frequency of vibration approximately equal to the rotational speed of the motor and synchronized therewith.

The invention discloses a layered MXene loaded cobalt ferrite composite wave-absorbing material. The cobalt ferrite of the composite wave-absorbing material is loaded between layers of layered MXene, and the mass ratio of the cobalt ferrite to the layered MXene is 1: (1-3), wherein the MXene has a unique lamellar microstructure, and the surface of the MXene is rich in functional groups, so that the cobalt ferrite can be loaded between layers or on the surface of the MXene to form a dielectric-magnetic two-phase heterojunction microstructure, and the MXene has a remarkable dielectric polarization loss characteristic; the nano magnetic cobalt ferrite loaded on the MXene has a high-frequency natural resonance effect and a strong magnetic loss mechanism, and the high resistivity of the nano magnetic cobalt ferrite can weaken the strong reflection effect of the MXene on incident electromagnetic waves, so that the composite material is more beneficial to impedance matching with space; therefore, the composite material shows a broadband strong electromagnetic wave absorption characteristic, and a reflectivity result shows that the bandwidth of the composite material is superior to -10dB (90% absorption rate) and reaches 7.2 GHz, and a corresponding absorption peak reaches -21.75 dB.

An improved sensor apparatus for developing a signal related to an inductive sensor in a resonant circuit are disclosed. This improvement is realized by adding a known capacitance to the resonant circuit and comparing the resulting natural resonance frequency to the frequency without the known capacitance. In this way a measure of the resonant capacitance is developed to correct the sensor signal for the effect of any changes in that capacitance. One disclosed embodiment adds an electronically variable capacitance which is adjusted to yield a constant capacitance that produces a sensor signal insensitive to variations in the resonant circuit capacitance. The resonant capacitance measurement may also provide an indication of another sensor state, such as temperature or pressure, which may be used to further correct for temperature or pressure sensitivities in the sensor signal. The invention is extended by juxtaposing the inductance for capacitance in the sensor resonant circuit.

A system for measurement of environmental parameters, using an optomechanical cavity in the end of an optical fiber. A single unmodulated CW laser excites the cavity, which has one reflective element fixed within the end of the fiber and the facing reflector being the surface of a mechanical element, supported over the cavity at the end of the fiber so that it can vibrate at its natural resonance frequency. The length of the cavity “vibrates” at the same frequency as the mechanical element, so that the light reflected from the cavity is modulated at that same frequency, and can be readily measured. The resonant frequency of the mechanical element is responsive to the environmental parameter to be measured, either by direct influence on the vibration of the mechanical element, or by means of the element's temperature change as a result of exposure to the environmental parameter.
