BIC Violex Single Member S.A.

A computer-implemented method for transforming speech into visual text, including obtaining a speech signal encoding a text of a speech; selecting a portion of the text at least based on a projection mode of a writing instrument; outputting the portion of the text towards a projector configured to project the portion of the text to a user of the writing instrument. The writing instrument may be used by the user to take notes of and during the speech and may include the projector, wherein the projector may be configured to project the portion of the text onto a writing surface being used by the user to write on with the writing instrument. The method may include projecting the portion of the text to the user.

The present disclosure relates to the field of writing devices, and more specifically, the present disclosure relates to writing devices that dispense volatile inks, such as felt tip markers and the like. These writing devices comprise a soft elastomeric sealing component in order to prevent drying out of the writing device.

The present disclosure relates to a device for collecting one or more biological samples comprising a housing and a collector element. The collector element is configured to allow the passage of liquid and extends between a first end and a second end. The first end of the collector element protrudes out of the housing for collecting the one or more biological samples, and the second end of the collector element is arranged within the housing. The device further comprises at least one anchor element which extends at least partially into the collector element for maintaining the position of the collector element with respect to the housing.

A razor connector configured to connect a razor cartridge to a razor handle. The razor connector comprises a tongue, configured to allow pivotable movement of the razor cartridge relative to the razor handle and at least one interlocking feature configured to interlock with at least one interlocking part of the razor cartridge. Further, the razor connector comprises at least one flap configured to disconnect the razor cartridge from the razor connector upon actuation.

A razor cartridge comprising: a housing extending longitudinally along a longitudinal axis, wherein the housing comprises a leading longitudinal side, a trailing longitudinal side, and a recess in between the leading and trailing longitudinal sides for accommodating a group of cutting members, and a group of cutting members comprising a plurality of cutting members disposed at least partially in the recess, wherein each cutting member is arranged between a leading longitudinal side and a trailing longitudinal side of the recess in a shaving direction of the razor cartridge. A first cutting member of the group of cutting members comprises a first blade support having a first blade mounting portion disposed on an inner surface of the first blade support that, in use, faces away from a shaving plane, and a first blade attached to the first blade mounting portion.

A paper packaging for storing and presenting a plurality of longitudinal hand held implements, said packaging including: a sleeve, a tray, an insert, wherein the tray is configured to accommodate the insert, and the sleeve is configured to accommodate the tray, wherein the insert includes a stand mechanism, including a handle that protrudes from the insert and that is configured to protrude from the tray, and configured so that pulling the handle folds and raises the stand mechanism so as to lift implements arranged in the insert.

A computer-implemented method for measuring skin conductance of a writing instrument's user, including: applying a DC voltage to user's fingers contacting the writing instrument during a writing session with the writing instrument; measuring a current generated by reverse iontophoresis following applying the DC voltage; calculating an average skin conductance over a specific timeframe from the measured current; storing calculated average skin conductance data as historical data; comparing the average skin conductance to historical data from the same user or to reference data from a group of users; and providing an indication to the user in case that the skin conductance has decreased and/or the calculation results.

A shaving head for a razor device including a guard configured to receive at least one razor blade and a retaining mechanism moveably connected to the guard and configured to make the at least one razor blade accessible for detachment from the guard when the retaining mechanism is in a detachment position, and related aspects.

A flame producing assembly display device for displaying user-configured content is provided. The flame producing assembly display device comprises an electronic bistable display and a communication module. The electronic bistable display is configured to display an image representing the user-configured content according to image data. The communication module is in electrical communication with the electronic bistable display. The communication module is connectable to a personalization station for providing image data and power to the electronic bistable display. The electronic bistable display is suppliable with power and updating image data only when a connection between the communication module and the personalization station is established.

The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for monitoring hand movements of a writing instrument's user, comprising: providing an electromyography sensor on the user's wrist or hand; monitoring hand movements of the user during a writing session with the writing instrument by reading sensors of the writing instrument; monitoring hand muscle activity of the user during the writing session by reading the electromyography sensor; correlating hand motion data and hand muscle data obtained from the monitoring; evaluating the correlated data and classifying the hand movements as normal or abnormal based on at least one of tremor parameters, hypokinetic parameters, and historical data of the user; and providing an indication in case of an abnormal evaluation.
