    摘要: In a hair-cutting system (1) that comprises a cutter arrangement (20) configured to be moved over skin (10) and comprising at least one functional cutter unit (21) configured to perform a cutting action on hairs (11) protruding from the skin (10), a hair detector (30) is used for the purpose of detecting the presence of a hair (11) in a detection area (31) near or in the at least one functional cutter unit (21). The hair detector (30) comprises at least one hair-contacting portion (32) made from a mechanically deformable material and is configured to provide detector output (dout) representative of whether or not a hair (11) is detected in the detection area (31). In this way, a method of controlling operation of the hair-cutting system (1) in relation to hair detection is enabled.

    摘要: An electric-powered trimmer includes a cutting assembly having a stationary blade. A moveable blade is positioned on the stationary blade such that a cutting gap is defined between the moveable blade and the stationary blade. The moveable blade is configured to move along a first axis and a second axis extending orthogonal to the first axis. An adjustment mechanism is operable to move the moveable blade along the second axis relative to the stationary blade to selectively change the size of the cutting gap.

    摘要: The invention relates to an electric shaver (1) comprising a cutter unit (3), an electric motor (4), a load detector arranged to detect a load current of the motor (4) and a controller. The controller switches the average voltage from a first level to a second level once the load current exceeds a first threshold value (TH_TH), and switches the average voltage from the second level back to the first level if the load current falls below a second threshold value (TH_TL) and stays below the second threshold value (TH_TL) for a predefined time period. By operating on a lower energy consumption when the cutter unit of the shaver is not in contact with the skin, energy is saved without the need for a proximity sensor.
