A tool and methods of removing films from bevel regions of wafers are disclosed. The bevel film removal tool includes an inner motor nested within an outer motor and a bevel brush secured to the outer motor. The bevel brush is adjustable radially outward to allow the wafer to be inserted in the bevel brush and to be secured to the inner motor. The bevel brush is adjustable radially inward to engage one or more sections of the bevel brush and to bring the bevel brush in contact with a bevel region of the wafer. Once engaged, a solution may be dispensed at the engaged sections of the bevel brush and the inner motor and the outer motor may be rotated such that the bevel brush is rotated against the wafer such that the bevel films of the wafer are both chemically and mechanically removed.

End effectors and systems including end effectors including embedded batteries and auxiliary components powered by the batteries are described. In an example, the end effector includes a base portion coupleable to a motor carried by an appliance that is separate from the end effector; and a battery disposed in the base portion configured to power an auxiliary component of the end effector.

A bathtub cleaner assembly includes a cleaner that has a handle portion extending upwardly from a reservoir portion that contains a fluid cleaning solution. A first scrubbing unit is coupled to the reservoir portion of the cleaner to engage a basal wall of the bathtub when the cleaner is positioned in the bathtub. The first scrubbing unit rotates when the first scrubbing unit is turned on to scrub the basal wall of the bathtub. A pair of second scrubbing units is each movably integrated into the reservoir portion of the cleaner to scrub a respective lateral wall of the bathtub when the cleaner is positioned in the bathtub. A spray unit is integrated into the cleaner to spray the fluid cleaning solution onto the first scrubbing unit and the second scrubbing units.

A powered toothbrush includes a handle, a power source disposed in the handle, a head including a cavity disposed at a distal end of the handle, an electrically conducting element disposed in the cavity and electrically connected to the power source, and a movable cleaning element connected to the head and movable relative to the cavity. The movable cleaning element includes a tooth cleaning support member, a tooth cleaning element mounted on the support member, and a ferromagnetic member. Application of an electrical current to the electrically conducting element generates a magnetic field at the electrically conducting element. The magnetic field selectively at least one of attracts and repels the ferromagnetic member to move the movable cleaning element relative to the electrically conducting element.
