  • Publication number: 20230115317
    Abstract: A partitioning component (210) for dividing a feeding bottle (110) into two sections: one (125) associated with a container (120) part of the bottle and one (115) associated with a teat part (110) of the bottle. The partition allows for at least partial retention of liquid in the teat part even when the bottle is tipped in a horizontal position, the more natural position for feeding a user such as a baby or toddler. To enable flow of fluid between the two sections, the partitioning component comprises a passageway arrangement (215) which comprises one or more openings (225) and the passageway arrangement configured to enable flow of both liquid and air across the partition in different directions. This allows liquid to pass in, and air to pass out, of the teat section (115) during filling of the teat.

  • Patent number: 11186001
    Abstract: A system for treating a part of a body to be treated includes a hand-held treating device and a position identifier configured to generate information indicative of the position of the treating device relative to the part of the body to be treated. A controller is configured to determine a path and/or angle of orientation of the treating device relative to the part of the body to be treated in dependence of the information generated by the position identifier. The controller is also configured to operate a feedback module to provide feedback to a user based on the path and/or angle of orientation of the treating device determined by the controller.
