A personal consumer product having an energy emitting element in selective electrical communication with a power source is provided. Thermal control circuitry is used to isolate the energy emitting element from the power source when a temperature of the energy emitting element exceeds a threshold. A diagnostics routine is used to test the functionality of the hardware and software of the personal consumer product.

Personal consumer product with thermal control circuitry diagnostics and methods thereof

A shaving razor cartridge with a housing having a guard, a cap, and one or more blades located between the guard and the cap. The guard is positioned in front of the one or more blades and the cap is positioned behind the one or more blades. A heat delivering element is mounted to the housing for transferring heat during a shaving stroke. The heat delivering element includes a skin contacting surface and an opposing bottom surface defined by a perimeter wall. An insulating member is positioned within the perimeter wall. The insulating member has a first surface facing the bottom surface of the heat delivering element and a second surface.

Heated shaving razors

A method of controlling transfer of heat to skin during a shaving stroke. A shaving razor system with a heating element is provided. An insulating member for delivering heat to the heating element is provided. A temperature of a first area of the heating element is measured with a first thermal sensor. A temperature of a second area of the heating element is measured with a second thermal sensor. Power to the insulating member is decreased when an average temperature sensed by the thermal sensors is greater than or equal to a first predetermined temperature. Power to the insulating member is decreased when an individual temperature sensed by either of the thermal sensors is greater than or equal to a second predetermined temperature.

Shaving cartridges having thermal sensors

The invention is related to a drive control for driving a dc motor of an electrical household appliance, in particular a hair cutting device such as an electric razor, shaver or epilator, at constant rotational speed.

Shaver motor speed control

A shaving razor cartridge with a housing having a guard, a cap, and one or more blades located between the guard and the cap. The guard is positioned in front of the one or more blades and the cap is positioned behind said one or more blades. A heat delivering element is mounted to the housing for transferring heat during a shaving stroke. The heat delivering element includes a skin contacting surface and an opposing bottom surface defined by a perimeter wall. An insulating member is positioned within the perimeter wall. The insulating member has a first surface facing the bottom surface of the heat delivering element and a second surface.

A shaving razor system with a heating element for transferring heat during a shaving stroke. The heating element has a skin contacting surface. An insulating member for delivering heat to the heating element has a plurality of spaced apart thermal sensors are mounted to the insulating member and positioned below the skin contacting surface. An electrical circuit is configured to deliver energy to the insulating member. The electrical circuit has a control circuit for temperature regulation. A power source is in communication with the electrical circuit. The thermal sensors measure the temperature of the heating element and are in communication with the control circuit.

A consumer device presentation unit is disclosed. The consumer device presentation unit includes at least a first electric consumer device including at least a first rechargeable energy storage; at least a first autonomous energy provision unit; and a charge module coupled at least to the first autonomous energy provision unit and the first electric consumer device.
