Patent number: 10766154Abstract: A treating system includes a controller and a treating device having a treating unit for treating a part of a body of a subject. An imaging arrangement is configured to obtain image data. The controller is configured to analyze the image data to identify a boundary between the part of the body of the subject and the environment around the part of the body; and determine the position of the treating device relative to the part of the body of the subject based on a position of the boundary in the image data.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2017Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Kin Fatt Phoon, Jacob Hendrik Botma

Patent number: 10317849Abstract: A tap sensitive alarm clock has a housing (20), a vibration sensor (22) mechanically coupled to the housing for receiving a shock due to a user tapping the housing, and a control circuit (24) coupled to the vibration sensor for controlling a function of the alarm clock. An audio unit (26) is coupled to an audio circuit (25) for generating sound, e.g. a loudspeaker in an alarm clock or a wake up light. To avoid interference of the sound and the vibration sensor, the alarm clock is provided with a filter (23) coupled to the vibration sensor and the control circuit. The filter has a filter curve matched to block frequencies occurring in the sound. Advantageously it is avoided that the sound frequencies trigger the function, while the sensor is sensitive to other frequencies up to the frequency range of the sound for reliably detecting the tapping.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2014Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Schelte Heeringa, Roelof Jan Wind, Frans Wiebe Rozeboom, Jacob Hendrik Botma, Hielke Simon Van Oostrum, Michiel Allan Aurelius Schallig, Robert Godlieb

Patent number: 6427580Abstract: A device is provided for heating a liquid in a holder, having a heater element (31) designed to be placed in said holder and to be immersed in liquid in said holder, a temperature sensor (65) for measuring the temperature of the liquid in the holder and coupled to a control unit (41) for the thermostatic control of power supply to the heater element (31), a thermal safety cut-out (60) for interrupting the power supply to the heater element in response to heating-up of the heater element to above a given temperature, which safety cut-out (60) is in thermally conductive contact with the heater element (31), and a carrier (50) which is thermally coupled by means of a thermal coupling to a portion of said heater element which is immersed in the liquid in said holder in the operational state, the temperature sensor (65) of the thermostat being situated on said carrier (50) at a distance from said thermal coupling.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2001Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics, N.V.Inventors: Jan Hans Benedictus, Jacob Hendrik Botma, Klaas Kooyker
