In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method () is described. The method comprises identifying () a specified facial gesture from imaging data of a user. The method further comprises determining () whether the specified facial gesture is indicative of a specified zoom level to be used for displaying the user's face. In response to determining that the specified zoom level is to be used instead of a previously-determined zoom level used for displaying the user's face, a display showing a video feed of the user's face is caused to change a displayed size of at least a portion of the user's face on the video feed based on a difference between the specified zoom level and the previously-determined zoom level.

Determining display zoom level

In an embodiment, a method of manufacturing () is described. The method comprises providing () a first layer defining a first inner surface () and a first outer surface (), a second layer defining a second inner surface () and a second outer surface (), and an electrical component () positioned on the first inner surface or the second inner surface. The method further comprises attaching () the first and second layers together to create a device () comprising the first and second layers, wherein the first outer surface and the second outer surface define an external surface of the device. The device further comprises a sealed portion () defined by liquid-tight attachment between the first and second inner surfaces. In use of the device, the sealed portion prevents liquid ingress into the device between the first and second layers towards the electrical component.

Preventing liquid ingress in a device

To solve discomfort and safety issues caused by sharp glide sides, a shaving assembly and a hair cutting appliance including the shaving assembly with a protection element is provided. The shaving assembly comprising a supporting member; a cutting element extending in the first direction; a guard foil stretched and extending in the first direction and surrounding the cutting element, the guard foil including a bent part and a flat contact surface, wherein the bent part extends in the first direction for fixing the guard foil on the supporting member, and the flat contact surface is adapted to be in contact with skin; and a protection element arranged at at least one end of the guard foil and including a curved surface exposed to the skin.

Shaving assembly and hair cutting appliance

Embodiments of present disclosure relates to a shaving assembly and a hair cutting appliance comprising the shaving assembly. The shaving assembly comprises: a supporting arm extending in a first direction; a cutting element comprising at least one moving tooth arranged along the first direction; a guard foil extending in the first direction and surrounding the cutting element, the guard foil comprising: a contact surface and a bent part, wherein an angle between the contact surface and the supporting arm is an acute angle, and at least one guard tooth slot is formed across the contact surface and the supporting arm, wherein the shaving assembly further comprises: a blocking member extending between the moving tooth and the supporting arm in a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the contact surface, wherein the blocking member is adapted to facilitate hair being released from the guard tooth slot when the guard tooth slot is moved against the hair.

The present disclosure relates to a grooming system having an adaptive lighting system () and a personal care appliance (), particularly a hair cutting appliance, the adaptive lighting system () comprising at least one sensor () that is arranged to detect an illumination-indicative value in the vicinity of a treatment head () of the appliance (), at least one light source () that is arranged to illuminate a treatment zone, a lighting control unit () operatively coupled with the at least one sensor () and the at least one light source (), wherein the lighting control unit () is arranged to control the at least one light source () dependent on the illumination-indicative value detected by the at least one sensor (), and wherein the lighting control unit () is arranged to increase a target illumination level when a detected actual illumination level is low, and to decrease a target illumination level when a detected actual illumination level is high. The present disclosure further relates to a method of operating an adaptive lighting system () and to a corresponding computer program.
