Abstract: Interference detector and methods for detecting interference in a signal are described. More specifically, in one aspect, a method for detecting interference in a signal is provided. The method comprises determining whether the signal has at least one of a time and a frequency characteristic that is outside a predefined range, and determining that an interference event has been detected if the signal has at least one of such characteristics.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for storage of a beverage such as wine by the utilization of inert material forming fill members that may be inserted in a partially filled beverage/wine bottle. The fill material displaces the beverage/wine therein and causes the beverage/wine to rise in the bottle and displace the air that would otherwise be contained therein. In this manner, the amount of oxidation of the beverage/wine may be reduced while the inert material forming the fill members may, in some instances, be formed of comical shapes to promote discussion related to the consumption of the beverage.
