  • Publication number: 20230401814
    Abstract: A bottle analysis system receives image data of a bottle to be analyzed, and the data is processed to identify a shape of the bottle, and optionally any identifying markings. A bottle type is then determined. Image analysis is used to determine a liquid level in the bottle and thereby determine a liquid volume in the bottle.

  • Publication number: 20230222683
    Abstract: A system provides assistance during bottle-feeding. Video images of a subject bottle-feeding an infant are captured and displayed. Using image analysis, a reorientation of the bottle and/or infant is determined that is required in order to reach a desired bottle orientation and/or infant orientation. Reorientation instructions are provided in combination with the video images to assist the subject in reorienting the bottle and/or the infant to achieve the desired bottle orientation.

  • Patent number: 10080611
    Abstract: A skin treatment device comprising a light source providing a light beam for optically treating skin, a wheel with a wheel surface for reflecting the light beam towards the skin, driving means for rotating the wheel and changing an angular position of the wheel, where different angular positions of the wheel correspond to different directions of reflection for the light beam, an angular position detector for detecting the angular position of the wheel, storage means for storing predefined skin-treatment patterns, a relation between the different angular positions of the wheel; and different reflection directions of the light beam, a control circuit coupled to the light source. The light source being controlled in dependence on the detected angular position such that, for each revolution of the wheel, the light beam is controlled to only illuminate the wheel surface in selected angular positions of the wheel to realize a predefined skin-treatment pattern.

  • Patent number: 9968772
    Abstract: There is provided an adaptor for forming an electrical connection between a medical device having a first type of connector and an electrode having a second type of connector. The adaptor has a first connecting part shaped to cooperate with a corresponding connecting part on one of the medical device and the electrode so as to form a mechanical and electrical connection therebetween. The adaptor further has a second connecting part having a portion of magnetic or ferromagnetic material arranged to be magnetically attracted to a corresponding magnet or portion of ferromagnetic material included in a magnetic connector part on the other of the medical device and the electrode, so as to form a magnetic and electrical connection therebetween. The first connecting part is electrically connected to the second connecting part.

  • Publication number: 20160121098
    Abstract: There is provided an adaptor (40) for forming an electrical connection between a medical device having a first type of connector and an electrode having a second type of connector. The adaptor comprises a first connecting part (42) shaped to cooperate with a corresponding connecting part on one of the medical device and the electrode so as to form a mechanical and electrical connection therebetween. The adaptor (40) further comprises a second connecting part (44) comprising a portion of magnetic or ferromagnetic material (46) arranged to be magnetically attracted to a corresponding magnet or portion of ferromagnetic material comprised in a magnetic connector part on the other of the medical device and the electrode, so as to form a magnetic and electrical convection therebetween. The first connecting part (42) is electrically connected to the second connecting part (44).
