Filters may be installed in-line near the point-of-use (e.g. between the waterline and the dental instrument) to block the passage of microorganisms. Filters will have no effect on the development of biofilm in the waterlines, but will remove microorganisms as the water is delivered to the patient.
Bristled definition, one of the short, stiff, coarse hairs of certain animals, especially hogs, used extensively in making brushes. See more.
A bristlebot is a simple rigid-bodied robot where the lower surface is coated in bristles, like a brush or velvet. The mass of bristles are oriented so that there is an overall inclination to them away from vertical. This is broadly consistent across the robot body, so that it gives a preferred forward direction.
