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 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 detection and reporting device for determining a usage event indicating a use of a piece of hygiene equipment, the detection and reporting device comprising a positioning section that allows determining positional information indicating a position of the detection and reporting device; a sensor section configured to sense over a time span an observable indicating a use of the piece of hygiene equipment and to generate usage event information on the basis of the sensed observable; and a reporting section configured to generate and transmit a message on the basis of said usage event information and on information allowing an association to said positional information.

Usage detection of hygiene equipment

A piece of hygiene equipment includes a transmitting section configured to transmit an outbound radio signal carrying transmission payload data; a receiving section configured to receive an inbound radio signal carrying reception payload data; a processing section configured to transmit an outbound radio signal carrying specific transmission payload data and/or to receive an inbound radio signal carrying specific reception payload data for determining a communication partner to which outbound radio signals are to be transmitted and from which inbound radio signals are to be received; and a memory section. The processing section is configured to determine said communication partner and to store information on the determined communication partner in said memory section.

Apparatuses and method for transmitting payload data between hygiene equipments with radio transmission capabilities

A piece of hygiene equipment configured to dispense a consumable to a user includes a processing circuit and a radio circuit. The radio circuit is configured to receive and transmit a radio signal carrying payload data, and the processing circuit is configured to obtain information on a positional relationship to another device by instructing the radio circuit to receive and/or transmit a radio signal carrying first payload data. The processing circuit is configured to generate second payload data on the basis of the obtained information on the obtained positional relationship, and to instruct the radio circuit to transmit a radio signal carrying said second payload data.

Automatic setting-up of hygiene equipment

A piece of hygiene equipment arranged to dispense or dispose of a consumable to or from a user comprising a detector arranged to detect an observable from a surrounding of the piece of hygiene equipment and to provide a corresponding detector output and a processing unit arranged to receive the detector output, to process the detector output, and to generate information for determining a location of said piece of hygiene equipment.

The disclosure relates to a fluid pump including a plastomer spring with a captive valve element provided in an integrally formed valve chamber. The spring includes a first end portion and a second end portion and one or more spring sections connecting the first end portion to the second end portion, which spring sections can be compressed in the axial direction from an initial condition to a compressed condition and can subsequently expand to their initial condition. The valve chamber is formed in the first end portion.

Plastomer spring with captive valve

A system is provided for determining a hygiene compliance metric which indicates a usage of hygiene equipment. The system includes distributed hygiene equipment arranged to dispense a hygiene consumable and/or to dispose of a hygiene consumable, a tag configured to at least transmit radio signals; positioning equipment arranged to determine information on a position of said tag by at least receiving radio signals from said tag; and a processing entity. The processing entity is configured to receive said information on a position of said tag, to define a zone into which said tag may enter, to define a rule, and to calculate said hygiene compliance metric based on said information on the position, said zone, and said rule.
