Publication number: 20210369926Abstract: In a pump arrangement (6) for use with a double breast pump device, a first air conduit (65) and a second air conduit (66) have a function in connecting respective expression kits (2, 3) to the pump arrangement (6). Each of the air conduits (65, 66) N is connectable to and disconnectable from a suction side and a discharge side, respectively, of a pump (61) that is included in the pump arrangement (6). Further, the air conduits (65, 66) are connectable to and disconnectable from each other directly through an intermediate switching mechanism (70) arranged between the air conduits (65, 66) at a bypass position with respect to the pump (61), so that it is possible to directly transfer vacuum between the air conduits (65, 66) and to thereby support the functioning of the pump (61) which may be relatively small for that reason.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2019Publication date: December 2, 2021Inventors: Paul AELEN, Johannes Petrus Antonius Maria VAN ASSELDONK, Arjan Teodor VAN WIERINGEN

Patent number: 10716431Abstract: A device for food and/or beverage temperature regulation includes a cooler for providing a cooling mode in which the food and/or beverage is cooled, a heater for providing a heating mode in which the food and/or beverage is heated, and a pre-heating mode in which the food and/or beverage is pre-heated. A controller is configured to control the cooler and heater. The controller is further configured to activate the cooling or heating mode in response to signals indicative of a change in the behavior of a recipient of the food and/or beverage, and to activate the pre-heating mode in response to predicted behavior. The signals may represent sound and/or movement and may originate from sensors, such as microphones and/or radar sensors.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2015Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Jozef Johannes Maria Janssen, Arjan Teodor Van Wieringen, Christian Marie Frans Jozef Senden, Arnold Aalders
