Abstract: The present invention relates to a lighting device (1). The lighting device comprises alight source (3), a circuit board (7) configured to control the light source, and a circuit board frame (10) comprising a slot (12). Further, an edge (8) of the circuit board is mounted in the slot such that the circuit board is in thermal contact with the circuit board frame, thereby enabling heat to be conducted from the circuit board to the circuit board frame. The present invention is advantageous in that the thermal performance of the lighting device is improved and manufacturing costs are reduced.

Abstract: A visual display system for use in conjunction with a display device includes one or more illumination sources for illuminating a region surround the image display region; and a control unit configured to control the illumination sources to vary the illumination in an inactive state of the display device. The control unit is further configured to synchronize the varying illumination with a color scheme.

Abstract: A device (1) is provided with a configuration of two walls (3a; 5a) confining a substantially closed gap-like space (7) containing a gaseous medium. For cooling purposes the device is further provided with a synthetic jet generator (9) for generating a gaseous synthetic jet, wherein the generator is fluidically coupled to the gas-like space.

Abstract: A shaving apparatus includes at least one cutting unit having an inner cutter rotationally drivable with respect to an outer cutter by driving shaft of a driving device. The driving shaft exerts a prestress force on the inner cutter in the direction of the outer cutter. During cutting of a hair, the hair exerts a cutting force on the inner cutter directed opposite the driving force. The driving shaft bears axially on the outer cutter via at least one driving surface of a coupling element which is rotationally drivable. The inner cutter includes at least one driven surface for cooperating with the driving surface for exerting the driving force. The direction of the driving force is substantially perpendicular to the driving surface and the driven surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a visual display system for use in conjunction with a display device (21), the system comprising one or more illumination sources for illuminating a region surround the image display region; and a control unit for controlling the illumination sources to vary the illumination in an inactive state of the display device, the control unit 5 further being configured to synchronize the varying illumination (20) with a color scheme. The invention provides a system for advanced backlighting in an inactive state of the display device.

Abstract: A shaving apparatus with an external cutting member (4) and an internal cutting member which can be driven into rotation relative to the external member. The external cutting member (4) has an annular region (8) with hair-trapping apertures (5) and a skin support region (9) in a central area surrounded by the annular region. To improve the shaving performance, the skin support area is provided with ridges 10.

Abstract: Method of manufacturing a blade-shaped hair-pulling element (13) for a cutting unit (3) of a shaver. The shaver comprises a plurality of cutter elements (8) and a corresponding plurality of hair-pulling elements (13) each arranged in front of one of the cutter elements for movement therewith relative to an outer cutting member (4) and each slidable on the inner cutter element so as to be movable relative thereto for its hair-pulling action. In order to increase the distance over which the hairs are pulled up, an end portion (22) of each hair-pulling element (13) has an enlarged thickness. The hair-pulling element is obtained by means of a process of shaping the outline (stamping, etching, laser) followed by a bending process. The method to obtain the thickened end part (20) is characterized in that during the process of shaping the outline, the hair-pulling element is provided with a tab (23) which in a following bending process is bent against the end portion (22) of the hair-pulling element.

Abstract: Shaving apparatus with an external cutting member (4) and an internal cutting member which can be driven into rotation relative thereto, said external cutting member (4) having an annular region (8) with hair-trapping apertures (5) and a skin support region (9) inside the annular region. To improve the shaving performance, the skin support area is provided with ridges 10.
