Abstract: The present application relates to a shaving guidance system (10) for guiding a user during a shaving procedure, the system comprising an image sensor (30) configured to register an image of a part of the body of the user, an image data analyzer (41) configured to determine a local hair-growth direction based on data in the image, a controller (40) configured to generate instructions about a direction in which a hair cutting device (20) is to be moved in dependence on the determined local hair-growth direction, and a feedback system (130) configured to provide the instructions to the user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for inferring activity of a transcription factor of a signal transduction pathway in a subject. The method comprises performing (101) a first staining for detecting the transcription factor in cells of a sample of the subject and performing (102) a second staining for detecting a protein encoded by a target gene of the transcription factor in cells of the sample. The method further comprises quantifying (103) cells of the sample that show both a nuclear presence of the transcription factor and a presence of the target gene-encoded protein based on the first staining and the second staining, and inferring (104) the activity of the transcription factor in the subject based on the quantifying. This allows the presented method to more reliably infer the activity of the transcription factor in the subject.

Abstract: A method of filtering a signal includes determining a class of a section (23;39) of the signal obtained as input, wherein the determination of the class includes calculating a signal section (28;41) comprising at least a component representative of a derivative of at least a first order of the input signal section (23;39) and applying a quantisation operation to the calculated signal section (28;41). A digital filter associated with the class is selected from a plurality of available filters. In the quantisation operation, a quantisation step is adapted to a dynamic range of the calculated signal section (28;41).
