摘要:
A container for storing a liquid for consumption. The container may comprise temperature and volume sensors, processors, energy source and a communication device to transmit the recorded temperature and volume data to a remote human interface. The container may also provide for various notifications and alerts to the user if the data falls outside predetermined variable ranges.

A bottle (1) having a water volume measuring function comprises a bottle-lid (2), a bottle-body (3), and a measure module (4) disposed in the bottle-lid (2) which comprises at least a micro controller unit (43), a memory unit (44) and a sound wave transceiver unit (45). The memory unit (44) stores a lookup table (441) with corresponding relationships between a plurality of frequencies and a plurality of remained water volumes in the bottle-body (3). The sound wave transceiver unit (45) emits sound waves with sweeping frequencies towards the bottle-body (3) and receives reflected waves. The micro controller unit (43) determines if any frequency of the sound waves is an air-resonance frequency according to an energy level of each of the reflected waves. When a sound wave frequency is determined as an air-resonance frequency, the micro controller unit (43) obtains the corresponding remained water volume (5) by checking with the air-resonance frequency in the lookup table (441). The bottle measures the remained water volume (5) in the bottle-body (3) via emitting sound waves with sweeping frequencies where users can view the remained water volume (5) without opening the bottle-lid (2).

A volume sensing beverage container cap system for a beverage container including a cap that couples with the beverage container, a processor, flexible seal valve with a slit, handle, timer and an inclinometer. The inclinometer detects a tilt angle of the container when the container is tilted, and when tilted at the detected tilt angle, the timer measures an amount of time the container is tilted, and the processor determines a volume of fluid dispensed from the container based on the tilt angle and the amount of time the container is tilted. The handle rotatably couples with the cap and moves from a first closed position, to a second carrying position, and to a third open position. In the first closed position, the handle moves to cover the slit of flexible seal valve, and in the second carrying position and the third open position the handle uncovers the slit.
摘要:
The present invention discloses a temperature indicator, including a temperature indicator body, wherein the body is provided with temperature induction zones so as to induce different temperature ranges and display differently. The present invention has changed the traditional liquid temperature measurement manner where the present thermochromic materials are coated on the indicator body made of paper or plastic to form the temperature induction zones, so as to produce the temperature indicator. The temperature induction zones may present different colors such as red, blue or green and wordings according to different temperature ranges induced by the temperature induction zones, so as to remind people of an approximate temperature range of the liquid. The present invention also discloses a container with temperature indication that enables people to know the approximate temperature range of liquid in the container via color changes that are visualized to naked eyes. The container is simple, convenient and applicable; moreover, the entire container is beautiful.

A coffee mug (100) comprises an energy harvesting element (101), such as a peltier element, for harvesting electric energy from the temperature difference between said liquid (102) and an ambient of the receptacle (100). In addition the mug (100) comprises a data processing device, a display (104,119) device and a data communication (201) device for receiving data wirelessly from an outer (108) application system. The energy harvesting element (101) is configured to supply electric energy to said data communication (201) device, data processing device and display (104,119) device. The data processing device is then configured to receive said data via said data communication (201) device and control said display (104,119) device to display (104,119) said received data.
摘要:
A liquid container capable of self-generating power and showing temperature, comprising: a) a containing body (20) consisting of a housing (21) and an inner wall (22), a gap (23) being formed between the housing (21) and the inner wall (22); b) a circuit board (30) positioned within the gap (23); c) a temperature sensor (40) positioned in the gap (23) for measuring the temperature of the contained liquid, the temperature sensor (40) being electrically connected to the circuit board (30); d) a temperature indicator (50) disposed in the gap (23) and electrically connected to the circuit board (30), a displaying surface thereof being positioned on the surface of the housing (21); and e) a temperature difference power-generating element (60) positioned within the gap (23) and electrically coupled to the circuit board (30), a thermoelectric effect being created by the hot water filled into the space defined by the inner wall (22) such that a thermal energy can be converted into the electric energy that is stored by an energy-accumulating element (70) for providing the temperature indicator (50) and the related elements with required power.
摘要:
Drinking vessels and drinking vessel holders display moving images. The vessels and holders include stimulating components for visual, auditory and tactile stimulation, as well as sensing components and processors. Visual stimulation is provided by LEDs, LCDs, electroluminescent light sources and two immiscible liquids in a wall. Speech and vibrations can be output. Sensing components sense location and dynamics of vessels and holders, innate characteristics of the contents, and light. A stimulating component can be activated by signals from a sensing component or processor. A vessel or holder can communicate with a user or device based on the signals received from a sensing component or processor.
