A partitioning component () for dividing a feeding bottle () into two sections: one () associated with a container () part of the bottle and one () associated with a teat part () of the bottle. The partition allows for at least partial retention of liquid in the teat part even when the bottle is tipped in a horizontal position, the more natural position for feeding a user such as a baby or toddler. To enable flow of fluid between the two sections, the partitioning component comprises a passageway arrangement () which comprises one or more openings () and the passageway arrangement configured to enable flow of both liquid and air across the partition in different directions. This allows liquid to pass in, and air to pass out, of the teat section () during filling of the teat. To enable maximal retention of liquid inside the teat section when the bottle is tilted in the horizontal position, the openings of the passageway arrangement are all confined to a single region of the partitioning component which, in use, is arranged offset on one diametric side of the bottle volume or of the teat volume.

Partitioning component for a feeding bottle

An internal element () for a feeding bottle () is provided, the feeding bottle comprising a teat component (), and a container component (), which together define a bottle volume extending longitudinally between a base end of the container component, and a top end of the teat component. The internal element () comprises a disc element () configured to be positioned within the bottle volume extending transverse the longitudinal axis, and further comprises one or more tab elements () protruding from an outer periphery () of the disc element for being received between interfacing parts of a coupling arrangement () of the bottle.

Internal element for a feeding bottle device

An arrangement () for a feeding bottle is provided, the feeding bottle comprising a teat component (), and a container component (), which together define an internal bottle volume extending longitudinally between a base end of the container component, and a top end of the teat component. The arrangement comprises an internal element () for positioning inside the bottle volume, and a protruding element () arranged for extending from the internal element to an outside of the bottle when the bottle is in an assembled state with the internal element in position, for providing an interconnection between inside and outside of the bottle.

Arrangement for a feeding bottle

A baby bottle device () is provided which comprises a container () with a container volume (), a teat () with a teat volume () and a valve unit (). The teat comprises a first valve () for inletting air into the inside volume of the bottle (). The inside volume of the bottle corresponds to the volume of the container () and the teat volume (). The valve unit () with a second valve () is arranged outside the teat volume (). The threshold of the vent unit is lower than the threshold of the first vent () in the teat.

Baby bottle device

A system for treating a part of a body to be treated includes a hand-held treating device and a position identifier configured to generate information indicative of the position of the treating device relative to the part of the body to be treated. A controller is configured to determine a path and/or angle of orientation of the treating device relative to the part of the body to be treated in dependence of the information generated by the position identifier. The controller is also configured to operate a feedback module to provide feedback to a user based on the path and/or angle of orientation of the treating device determined by the controller.

System and a method for treating a part of a body

A method, apparatus and a machine-readable medium, for capturing an image of a subject includes moving at least one of an image capture device and the subject relative to one another; monitoring, using a processor, an orientation of the subject relative to the image capture device; and upon determining, using a processor, that the subject is oriented in a defined orientation relative to the image capture device, capturing an image of the subject in the defined orientation using the image capture device.

Image capturing

A method of manufacturing a blade set assembly, a blade set assembly, and a hair cutting appliance, wherein the method includes providing a base component including a stationary blade, providing a movable component comprising a cutter blade, providing a coupling element, the coupling element being arranged to be interposed between the base component and the movable component, providing a plastic contact bridge, arranging the stationary blade and the cutter blade at a defined relative assembly position, securing the assembly position between the stationary blade and the cutter blade, involving attaching the plastic contact bridge to one of the base component and the movable component, attaching a retaining portion of the coupling element to the other one of the base component and the movable component, and penetrating the plastic contact bridge with at least one insertion end of the coupling element.

Blade set manufacturing method, blade set and hair cutting appliance

According to an aspect, there is provided a method comprising generating (202) a guidance indicator relating to a portion of a user; determining (204) a position of a portion of a portable device relative to the portion of the user; and generating (208) an indication signal when it is determined that at least a portion of the portable device is in a defined position relative to the guidance indicator. According to other aspects, apparatus and a machine readable medium are provided.

Generating a guidance indicator and indicator signal

The present application relates to a system for treating a part of a body to be treated. In particular, the present invention relates to a system for cutting hair on a part of a body to be treated. The system has a hand-held treating device having a treating unit. The system also has an imaging module configured to generate information indicative of the position of the treating device relative to the part of the body to be treated based on an image of a part of the body and the treating device. A controller is configured to change an operating characteristic of the treating device in dependence on the information generated by the imaging module. The present application also relates to a treating device configured to be used in a system as described above and a method for treating a part of a body to be treated.
