Electric shaver () having a main body () and a shaving unit () coupled to the main body. The shaving unit has three hair-cutting units () each having an external cutting member () with a skin-contact surface () with hair-entry openings () and an internal cutting member () which is rotatable relative to the external cutting member. The hair-cutting units each have at least one geometric parameter (w) that influences a hair-cutting process of each individual hair-cutting unit. The shaving unit can be positioned relative to the main body in at least two different angular positions about a central axis () of the shaving unit. A value of the geometric parameter of at least one of the hair-cutting units is different from the values of the geometric parameter of the other hair-cutting units.

Electric shaver with mutually different hair-cutting units

According to an aspect, there is provided a system () comprising a hair cutting device () having a cutting element for cutting a subject's hair; a localisation unit () for acquiring location data indicative of a location of the cutting element relative to a body part of the subject; a timer unit () for measuring time data associated with usage of the hair cutting device; and a processing unit () in communication with the hair cutting device, the localisation unit and the timer unit, the processing unit being configured to determine, based on the location data and the time data, an operating parameter to be applied to the hair cutting device.

Determining operating parameters of hair cutting devices

According to an aspect, there is provided an apparatus comprising a processor configured to receive image data in respect of a user () of a personal care device (), wherein the personal care device is to be used to treat a portion of the user; receive device operating data relating to the personal care device; determine position information of at least a treatment element () of the personal care device relative to the user; generate, based on the received image data, the received device operating data and the determined position information, an image () representative of a predicted appearance of the portion of the user following treatment using the personal care device; and provide the generated image for display on a representation of the user.

Predicting the appearance of a user following treatment

A computer-implemented method for performing image-based food quantity estimation is provided. The method includes acquiring a first image, when the first image depicts a food item and a body part of a first user. The method further includes detecting, based on the acquired first image, a first physical attribute of the body part of the first user. The method furthermore includes identifying, based on the acquired first image, the depicted food item, and estimating a quantity of the food item depicted in the acquired first image based on the identified food item and the detected first physical attribute of the body part of the user.

Apparatus and method for performing image-based food quantity estimation

A method for providing dietary recommendation for a subject includes acquiring a dietary target for the subject, acquiring data associated with dietary consumption of the subject, and determining a balance score based on the acquired dietary target and the acquired data associated with dietary consumption of the subject. The method further includes acquiring a plurality of meal options for the subject, where each of the plurality of meal options is representative of a suggested meal, determining a salience score for each of the plurality of meal options, where the determination is based on the dietary target, dietary information of the respective meal option, and the determined balance score, and generating a personalized dietary recommendation for the subject based on at least one of the determined salience scores.

Apparatus and method for providing dietary recommendation

The invention provides a system () for acquiring cervical images which comprises an image acquisition subsystem () for acquiring cervical images () of a cervical region of a patient during a colposcopy procedure, and a display subsystem () for displaying the cervical images on a display () by providing image data () of the cervical images to the display. According to the invention, the image acquisition subsystem () is arranged for, when operating in an interval mode, acquiring the cervical images () at predetermined time intervals to obtain a time-series of cervical images showing changes in the cervical region over time, and reporting a progress of said acquiring to the display subsystem. Moreover, the display subsystem () is arranged for establishing a progress indicator (-) on the display by generating indicator data () and providing the indicator data to the display (), the progress indicator providing visual feedback on the progress of said acquiring to a user. Accordingly, the user is provided with visual feedback on a status of the acquiring of the cervical images. In particular, the progress indicator avoids that the user experiences a loss of control or confusion.

Acquiring cervical images

This invention relates to a method of selecting an optimal viewing angle position for a camera. A first quantitative score is determined for a first viewing angle position of the camera using pre-selected regions of interest as reference areas, the determining being performed in accordance to a pre-defined quantitative score rule. The angle position is adjusted from the first viewing angle position towards at least one second viewing angle position. For each at least one second viewing angle position a second quantitative score is determined in accordance to the pre-defined quantitative score rule, and finally a target viewing angle position is determined based on the determined quantitative scores.

A service diagnosis tool for performance analysis and failure remediation of electromechanical devices, e.g. printers or copiers. The tool communicates with an actual device of a specific type, and accesses data from a knowledge data set containing knowledge relating to properties of devices of the specific type, a device data set and a history data set. The device data set contains parameters of the actual device, including actual error data indicating errors that occurred in an actual period. The historical data includes historical error data of the actual device relating to errors, performance and/or remediation that occurred before the actual period. The tool has a calculation unit for analyzing and combining data from the data sets for generating a prioritized item list indicative of remedial steps to be executed. The items in the list relate to performance and/or failure of the actual device, and are organized according to priority rules.
