Abstract: A breast pump arrangement having an expression kit with a milk flow sensor (200) is provided. The milk flow sensor (200) comprises a container (240) with a first end with a first opening (242) and a second end with a second opening (243). The second opening (243) allows an outflow of milk with a predefined outflow characteristics out of the container (241). The first opening (242) is larger than the second opening (243). A milk amount sensor (250) is provided to measure a height or volume of milk in the container. A calculating unit (260, 240) calculates a milk flow based on the height or volume measurements and the predefined outflow characteristic of the second opening (243).

Abstract: A breast shield arrangement (300) for a breast pump is provided. The breast shield arrangement comprises a breast receiving portion (300a) with a flexible collapsible funnel (301) and a rigid frame (340) which are made as a single unit by 2K manufacturing. The flexible funnel (330) has a circumferentially extending wall (301a). The breast receiving portion (300a) has a first and second end (310, 320). The flexible funnel (330) and the rigid frame (340) are connected at the first and second end (310, 320) of the breast receiving portion (300a) during a 2K manufacturing. The flexible funnel (330) is configured to collapse if a vacuum is applied to the breast receiving portion (300a).

Abstract: A breast shield arrangement (300) for a breast pump comprises a first sealing portion (310), a port (320) and an intermediate portion (330) coupled between the first sealing portion (310) and the port (320). The intermediate portion (330) comprises a circumferentially extending wall defining a first volume (V1) which is adapted to receive a part of a breast, a first end (331), a curved portion (332) and a second end (333). The curved portion (332) comprises a second sealing portion (332c) which is adapted to at least partially seal the curved portion (332) against the nipple (310), the areola (320) or the breast (200) when a vacuum is applied at the port (320) creating a second volume (V2) between the first sealing portion (310, 332c) of the breast (200). The curved portion (332) at the second volume is curved outwardly as seen from the first sealing portion (310).

Abstract: The invention provides a breast pump system having a belt for wearing by the user of the system. The belt has a pocket for receiving a pump of the system. The pocket has a lateral pocket opening, with a conduit extending from the pump laterally out of the pocket opening. This makes a more comfortable fitting of the pump and easier connection to the expression kit.

Abstract: A device for shaving hairs growing from skin including a base portion having a grip, a shaving head which carries at least one cutting member having at least one cutting edge, and an actuator for effecting a periodical motion of the cutting member relative to the base portion to improve the cutting action of the cutting member. The shaving head is pivotable relative to the base portion about a pivot axis and the periodical motion of the cutting member is a periodical motion relative to the shaving head. The position and orientation of the geometrical path of the periodical motion of the cutting member relative to the skin is well-defined, so that the risk of skin irritations and skin injuries is considerably reduced.

Abstract: A portable X-ray detector unit (10) comprising a detection panel (12) housed within a cassette (14), wherein a margin is provided around the detection panel (12), between a peripheral edge thereof and the inner wall of the cassette (14), at at least the corners (16) of the detection panel (12) such that shock absorption functionality may be provided at at least those corners (16), at least one side (18) of the unit (10) having little or no margin so as to maximise the active area of the unit (10) at that side (18) and enable harder-to-reach areas of a subject (200) to be imaged.
