Abstract:
A method for analyzing hygiene habits of a user. The method comprises attaching a personal hygiene monitor to the user, using the attached personal hygiene monitor for detecting a plurality of personal hygiene events related to the user, logging the plurality of personal hygiene events to allow configuring a user hygiene profile of the user, and estimating a hygiene level of one or more hygiene habits of the user according to the user hygiene profile.
Abstract:
A reader device (1) for identifying a color property in an area of interest (2) and presenting content in response. The reader device (1) comprises a light source unit (1) for emitting a number of monochromatic lights (5) having different wavelength bands toward the area of interest (2) and a single photoelectric sensor (4) for intercepting a reflection of the monochromatic lights from the area of interest (2), thereby providing the color property output and presenting the content according to the color property.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for using a toy for communicating with a client terminal. The method comprises encoding at least one interacting information as at least one flickering control instruction and using a toy element having a light emitting unit for emitting light according to the at least one flickering control instruction, thereby transmitting the interacting information to a client terminal. The client terminal is configured for capturing the emitted light using an image capturing device and decoding the at least one interacting information therefrom.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are described for use with a vaporizer (20) that vaporizes at least one active ingredient of a material (82). In response to receiving a first input to the vaporizer, the material is heated, in a first heating step. An indication of the temperature of the material is detected, and, in response to detecting an indication that the temperature of the material is at a first temperature, the first heating step is terminated, by withholding causing further temperature increase of the material. The first temperature is less than 9 percent of the vaporization temperature of the active ingredient. Subsequently, a second input is received at the vaporizer. In response thereto, the material is heated to the vaporization temperature, in a second heating step. Other applications are also described.
