Patent number: 10117540Abstract: A consumable recognition system for recognizing placement and/or type of a consumable containing a food substance, for the preparation of a beverage using a beverage dispenser, includes a light sensor configured to sense light reflected from a reflection element of the consumable during a relative movement between the consumable and the light sensor to obtain a sensor signal. The sensor signal depends on the position, reflectivity and/or pattern of the reflection element. A movable sensor carrier is configured to carry the light sensor which is configured to sense light reflected from the reflection element during a movement of the sensor carrier. A signal processor is configured to recognize placement and/or type of consumable based on the sensor signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2014Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Jasper De Vreede, Harmina Christina Zeijlstra, Gerben Kooijman

Patent number: 9795755Abstract: The invention provides a patient interface (10) comprising a patient interface element (12, 14, 15) for delivering breathing gas to a patient, and a forehead support (30). One of the forehead support and the patient interface element comprises a shaft (50) and the other comprises a hollow tube (51) in which the shaft is received, with the shaft slidable within the tube to permit adjustment of the position of the forehead support relative to the patient interface. The shaft and hollow tube are rotatable between a free and locked configuration. This provides a simple to use adjustment mechanism with few components.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2013Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Harmina Christina Zeijlstra, Antonius Adrianes Petrus Schudelaro, Richard Johannus Maria Van De Ven, Sander Theodoor Pastoor
