A sensor device is provided to detect a filling status of a consumable in a dispenser, the consumable being web material, and the filling status relating to a spatial extension of the consumable in the dispenser. The sensor device includes a capacitive sensor having an elongated and planar sensor area; and a first measurement section configured to measure the filling status of the dispenser. The capacitive sensor includes a first channel and a second channel. The first measurement section is configured to measure the filling status of the dispenser based on changes in capacitance detected by the first channel and the second channel.

Sensor device and method for detecting a filling status of dispenser for a consumable

A method, for a mobile computing device, of installing a sensor device, the method including the steps of obtaining, from the sensor device, information indicative of an identification of the sensor device; obtaining information indicative of a location of a piece of hygiene equipment with which the sensor device is to be associated; and associating the information indicative of an identification of the sensor device with the information indicative of a location of the piece of hygiene equipment.

Installation of hygiene equipment

A tissue dispenser, a method, system, and a sensor unit for detecting level of a consumable tissue product () in a tissue dispenser () located in a washroom. This includes provided a sensor unit utilizing two sensor elements () each arranged to measure light reflected from a reflection field located on the tissue product, reflected directly from the tissue product, or measure the absence of the tissue product. Data from the sensor elements are wirelessly transmitted to a server () for further handling, such as for instance notification to a janitor in charge of service of the washroom.

Level sensor and dispenser

Providing to a human operator a view of displayed images and a view of a piece of hygiene equipment, the apparatus comprising an interface to a sensor which is configured to generate a motion sensor output indicating a movement of a human operator, an access to a data repository which stores base data for generating images representing views of an environment in which tasks by said human operator can be performed, an image generation section configured to generate the images to be displayed based on said base data and said motion sensor output, a sequencer section configured to determine a sequence of situations in relation to a view by said human operator, and an event section which is configured to determine an event in relation to said piece of hygiene equipment and to allocate said determined event in relation to the sequence of situations.

Training system for hygiene equipment

A solution for detecting level of a consumable tissue product () in a tissue dispenser () located in a washroom. This is provided in a number of aspects such as a tissue dispenser, a method, system, and a sensor unit utilizing two sensor elements (), each arranged to measure light reflected from a reflection field located on the tissue product, reflected directly from the tissue product, or measure the absence of the tissue product. Data from the sensor elements are wirelessly transmitted to a server () for further handling, such as for instance notification to a janitor in charge of service of the washroom.

A data collection and monitoring system for a defined space within a public or commercial facility, comprising: a plurality of sensors of which at least one sensor is arranged for monitoring the level of a consumable in connection with said space; and a data collecting unit arranged for wirelessly communicating with said sensors and furthermore arranged for communicating with a central server associated with a storage medium. The storage medium is adapted for storing and monitoring data related to said space. The system is arranged so that said data collecting unit is arranged for minimizing the amount of data transmitted, by transferring data from said sensors to said central server upon a status change of at least one of said sensors.

System and a method for data collection and monitoring of a defined space

A dispensing system including a dispenser for dispensing a product and a waste receptacle for receiving a used product. A triggering connection is present between the dispenser and the waste receptacle. The triggering connection is suitable to trigger in response to a dispensing action an encouraging action of the waste receptacle to encourage use of the waste receptacle.

Dispensing system and method for dispensing a product

A data collection and monitoring system for at least one defined space within a public or commercial facility includes: a plurality of sensors each monitoring a predetermined parameter; and a data collecting unit arranged for communicating with said sensors within a range of communication which corresponds to the extent of said defined space, with at least one mobile device for a user and with a central server which is associated with a storage medium. The storage medium is adapted for storing and monitoring data related to said sensors. Said data collecting unit is arranged for forwarding data relating to the sensors to the mobile device when the mobile device enters said space.

Data collection and monitoring system and method

The invention concerns the use of a fiber modified with functions capable of interacting with microbial cell wall proteins for immobilizing micro-organisms in hygiene products. Those functions are particularly capable of interacting with anionic groups and amine groups, and are especially cationic groups and aldehydes, respectively. The fibers may be synthetic or cellulosic. Also hygiene products containing these fibers are described.

Bacteria trapping fibrous material

An absorbent article comprising a polysaccharide-based highly absorbent material, which is produced by desiccating a cross-linked hydrogel using a polar solvent.
