  • Patent number: 10194985
    Abstract: A skin treatment device (100) comprises: —a housing (101); —a treatment action performer (110) arranged within the housing (101) for performing a treatment action on the user's skin (2); —a speed sensor (120) for sensing a relative speed between the housing and the user's skin; —a speed feedback signalling device (400); —a control device (140) receiving an output signal from the speed sensor. The control device controls the speed feedback signalling device if the output signal received from the speed sensor is outside a tolerated displacement speed range (R). The tolerated displacement speed range is adapted to the skills of the user to move the device over the skin surface with a constant speed. If the user's skills are relatively low, the control device increases the magnitude of the tolerated displacement speed range.

  • Patent number: 9727517
    Abstract: In a wireless docking system a dockee device (120) communicates with a host device (100) that is coupled to at least one peripheral (110, 111, 112). The host device has a host communication unit (102) and a docking processor (101) arranged for docking at least one dockee device. The dockee device has a dockee communication unit (121), and a dockee processor (122) for docking to the host device. The dockee processor is arranged for providing at least one virtual peripheral device in a virtual docking environment, the virtual peripheral device having a privacy level. When docking, the virtual peripherals are mapped on actual peripherals so as to apply the privacy level to the actual peripheral. When docked, data transfer with the actual peripheral is controlled according to the respective peripheral privacy level.

  • Publication number: 20140276243
    Abstract: A method for coaching a subject, including receiving data corresponding to at least one of a desired behavior of the subject or an undesired behavior of the subject, receiving a level of available self control of the subject via an input source, calculating a level of required self control needed to perform the desired behavior or suppress the undesired behavior, analyzing a risk based on the level of available self control and the level of required self control, where the risk is associated with predicting whether the subject will perform the undesired behavior or not perform the desired behavior, and intervening when the risk analyzed is above a particular threshold.
