    Abstract: A system is provided for detecting lung abnormalities in a subject. The system comprises a first sensor, for sensing a first acoustic signal generated by, or applied to, the subject and an arrangement of one or more second sensors for detecting a plurality of second acoustic signals from the lungs of the subject, wherein the second acoustic signals comprise attenuated versions of the first acoustic signal after passing through the lungs of the subject. The system further comprises a processor, wherein the processor is configured to determine a respective signal attenuation between the first acoustic signal and at least a subset of the plurality of second acoustic signals and process the signal attenuations thereby to detect a lung abnormality.

    Abstract: A field driven electroactive polymer actuator which is actuated using an actuation drive having a profiled portion having a start voltage and an end voltage and a duration of at least 25 ms followed by a steady state drive portion based on a steady state voltage. The profiled portion comprises a voltage curve or a set of voltage points which define a first voltage slope at the beginning of the profiled portion which is steeper than a linear ramp between the start voltage and the end voltage, and a second voltage slope at the end of the profiled portion which is shallower than a linear ramp between the start voltage and the end voltage.

    Abstract: There is provided a cutting assembly for use in a hair cutting device. The cutting assembly includes a cutting element having a first end and a second end, the cutting element comprising an optical waveguide for receiving light from at least one light source. The cutting assembly includes a first light guiding element configured to guide light from the at least one light source into the first end of the cutting element, and a second light guiding element configured to guide light from the at least one light source into the second end of the cutting element. Each of the light guiding elements comprises a taper transition section in which a diameter of the light guiding element reduces from a first diameter to a second diameter. A hair cutting device comprising a cutting assembly is also disclosed.
