A personal care appliance is provided that includes a brushhead for use in skincare; an appliance body having a motor assembly for oscillating the brushhead, wherein the brushhead or a portion of the motor assembly that is configured to oscillate includes a marking; and a brush encoder configured to detect the marking, and determine the oscillation of the brushhead.

Brush encoding device for system to promote optimum performance of handheld cosmetic device

Systems configured to couple with and identify encoded end effectors and related methods of use are described.

System for use with encoded end effectors and related methods of use

A system to promote optimum performance of a personal care appliance is provided including: a personal care appliance having an appliance status; and a client device, in communication with the appliance, including circuitry configured to compare the appliance status with the protocol for using the appliance, control display of an indicator based on the comparison.

System to promote optimum performance of handheld cosmetic device

Piezoelectric systems and appliances for removing eye makeup and related methods are described.

Piezoelectric systems and appliances for removing eye makeup and related methods

A method for controlling display of a user interface for optimizing performance in using a personal care appliance is provided including: receiving a user info or regimen; receiving a protocol or routine to use the appliance; receiving an appliance status related to a user's usage of the appliance; comparing the appliance status to a target usage of the appliance in the protocol or routine; and controlling display of an indicator of the user's performance based on the comparison.

User interface for system to promote optimum performance of handheld cosmetic device

The appliance includes an appliance body/handle and an interface assembly for receiving a detachable workpiece. The body/handle includes a signal-generating assembly with electrical connections to the appliance body interface. The signal-generating assembly is controlled by a microprocessor, which generates signals adapted to control and operate the workpiece which is attached to the appliance. A plurality of workpieces are included which are individually adapted for treating various spot skin irregularities. The appliance further includes a system for identifying the workpiece attached, so that appropriate operating signals can be generated and provided to the attached workpiece.

Skin treatment appliance with changeable workpiece

The skin brush appliance includes a handle member with a replaceable brushhead assembly. The replaceable brushhead assembly includes a bristle portion which becomes worn in use to the point where it must be replaced to maintain performance of the appliance. An LED light is provided in the vicinity of the bristle portion which is controlled to come on when the bristle assembly is in need of replacement.

Indicator system for replacement of a brush portion of a power skin brush

Control modules for automatically adjusting a laser output based on a range to an object detected within a field of view are disclosed.

Control modules for laser systems having auto-ranging and control capability

A circuit for detecting a phase error between a clock signal and a beam position includes a beam generator, sensor, and phase detector. The beam generator directs a beam toward a beam sweeper in response to a clock signal. The sensor, which is disposed at a mid line of a region that the beam sweeper scans, detects the beam from the beam sweeper, and the phase detector detects an error in the clock phase from the detected beam. Such a circuit can automatically detect the phase error in the pixel clock and correct this error, thus eliminating the need for a manual phase-error corrector.

Circuit for detecting a clock error in a swept-beam system and related systems and methods

A scanned beam display is operable to compensate for variations in apparent pixel brightness arising from variations in beam scanning velocity and/or pixel dwell times. A compensation circuit modifies pixel values according to their scanning velocity and/or dwell time.

Scanned light beam display with brightness compensation

A scanning control circuit generates a clock signal corresponding to an expected scan timing of a resonant scanner. In one approach, the control circuit uses a pair of direct digital synthesis (DDS) integrated circuits. A first DDS chip provides a system clock that is synchronized to the monitored period of the scanner. A second DDS chip generates a frequency chirped signal that has a frequency profile corresponding to a desired pixel clock timing. To control phase precisely, four complementary clock signals are weighted and mixed at light source drivers to produce relative phase shifts for different light sources.
