Abstract:
System and method for identifying, measuring and analyzing food nutritional values and consumer eating behaviors is disclosed. A food container, having weight sensors and food identification sensors, identifies weight, type, and preparation status of the food item being consumed by the user from the food container. Based on the identified information, the nutritional value of the food item is determined and observed. The food container in communication with the system components may provide the user a recommended meal plan to improve the user's health condition. In addition, the food container issues an alert to the user when the user puts too much, too less, or the right amount of food items in the food container or eats the food items too fast.

Abstract:
A heat dissipating base for tableware (10) comprising a base structure (12) having a plurality of dissipaters (24) attached to a non-operational side (18) thereof, each dissipater (24) having a recess (26) provided therein. The base (10) may be incorporated into a wide range of tableware including plates, cups and bowls.
Abstract:
An integrated microwaveable heat storage device that absorbs substantial amounts of microwave energy in a microwave oven in a relatively short period of time (typically one minute) and releases this energy as heat over an extended period of time (typically 20 to 30 minutes). The device includes three rigid elements, the upper element usually in the form of a container (10) such as a dish or a cup cooperating with a base (14) to form a sealed enclosure or cavity. This enclosure is transparent to microwaves and encapsulates a mass of solid microwave absorbing material heater (12) in minimum contact with the walls of the cavity. This receptacle (or enclosure) and the microwave absorbing material (the heater (12) can have different embodiment or cross sections, shapes, volumes and masses according to the specific intended use or embodiment of the integrated microwaveable heat-storage device.
Abstract:
An iced platter for food, including: a case having inside portions formed in the case and knobs at both sides to be opposite to each other; and, an iced platter for refrigerating food filled in an upper surface thereof with being refrigerated at low temperature by a separated refrigerating means, the iced platter being insertable and separable into/from the inside portions.
Abstract:
The device for the prolonged maintenance of the temperature of food comprises a body (2) forming at least one bottom wall (3) bounded by at least one outer edge (4) and comprising an internal compartment (5) suitable for containing a fluid substance (S).
Abstract:
An actively heated mug, travel mug, baby bottle, water bottle or liquid container is provided. The mug, travel mug, baby bottle, water bottle or liquid container can include a body that receives a liquid therein and a heating or cooling system at least partially disposed in the body. The heating or cooling system can include one or more heating or cooling elements that heat a surface of the receiving portion of the body and one or more energy storage devices. The mug, travel mug, baby bottle, water bottle or liquid container can include a wireless power receiver that wirelessly receives power from a power source and control circuitry configured to charge one or more power storage elements and to control the delivery of electricity from the one or more power storage elements to the one or more heating or cooling elements. The mug, travel mug, baby bottle, water bottle or liquid container also can have one or more sensors that sense a parameter of the liquid or sense a parameter of the heating or cooling system and communicates the sensed information to the control circuitry. The control circuitry can turn on, turn off, and/or operate the heating or cooling element to actively heat or cool at least a portion of the body to maintain the liquid in a heated or cooled state generally at a user selected temperature setting based at least in part on the sensed parameter information. The mug, travel mug, baby bottle, water bottle or liquid container can also be paired with a remote device or mobile electronic device to send or receive communications or commands.
Abstract:
본 발명은 발열 용기에 관한 것이다. 가정이나 음식점에서 따뜻하게 해서 먹어야 하는 음식이 있다. 탕 종류나 찌개류는 간이 가스레인지에 데워가면서 먹으면 되는데 전, 수육, 튀김류 떡 종류 같은 것은 가스레인지에 데워가며 먹을 수가 없거나 매우 불편하다. 본 발명의 발열 용기는 자체적으로 발열 기능이 있는 것으로 하여 발열해놓고 그 위에 각종 음식을 놓고 먹으면 그 음식을 모두 다 먹을 때까지 따뜻하게 먹을 수 있기 때문에 그 음식이 가지고 있는 특유의 맛을 끝까지 간직하면서 먹을 수 있는 아주 유용한 발열 용기이다.
Abstract:
Heated or cooled dishwasher safe dishware and drinkware are provided. The dishware and drinkware includes a dishwasher safe body having a receiving portion for holding solid or liquid food and a heating or cooling system that can be housed in the body or in a separate module removably attachable to the body. The heating or cooling system can have a heating or cooling element that heats or cools the receiving portion of the body. The heating or cooling system can optionally have a power storage element connected to the heating or cooling element, the power storage element configured to supply the heating or cooling element with electricity for a desired period of time. The heating or cooling system can optionally have a charging circuit operatively connected to the power storage element, the charging circuit configured to control a charging process of the power storage element.
