Abstract: Systems and methods for programmable electronic devices on containers are described. An example method may involve: receiving, by an electronic display device attached to an object, data indicating a quantity of a fluid in the object; determining, by the electronic display device, whether the data satisfies a criterion; responsive to determining that the data satisfies the criterion, generating a first message and a second message based on the data; transmitting, by the electronic display device, the first message to a computing device over a wireless connection; and presenting, by the electronic display device, the second message.

Abstract: A mobile computing device that lacks a network connection receives a low energy radio signal comprising a unique identifier assigned to the electronic device. The mobile computing device sends a query to a remote server computing device, the query comprising the unique identifier and information identifying a user of the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device receives a response from the remote server computing device, the response indicating that the user is authorized to access the electronic device. The mobile computing device notifies the user of a presence of the electronic device and establishes a wireless connection to the electronic device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for sharing resources between multiple processing streams are described. An example method may comprise: receiving data by an electronic display device attached to an object; determining, by the electronic display device, whether the data satisfies a criterion; responsive to determining that the data satisfies the criterion, generating a first message based on the data; wirelessly transmitting the first message to a computing device that is wirelessly connected to the electronic display device; receiving a second message from the computing device; and displaying at least one of the first message or the second message by the electronic display device.

Abstract: A first cavity in an exterior wall of a hollow container body has first contours and a second cavity in the exterior wall of the hollow container body has second contours. A camera is disposed within the first cavity, the camera having a shape that conforms to the first contours of the first cavity. An electronic device comprising a display is disposed within the second cavity, the electronic device having a shape that conforms to the second contours of the second cavity. The camera is to generate pictures of objects external to the hollow container body, store the pictures in a memory, and provide the pictures to the electronic device. The electronic device has a connection to the camera and is to receive the pictures from the camera via the connection and to display the pictures that are received from the camera on the display.

Abstract: A computing device identifies a plurality of containers that are collocated at a facility via a network. Each container of the plurality of containers comprises an electronic device integrated into the container without interfering with a content of the container, the electronic device comprising a receiver, a display and speakers. The computing device transmits messages comprising activation signals to electronic devices of the plurality of containers that are collocated at the facility. The messages cause the electronic devices of the plurality of containers to activate, display images using the display and output audio via the speakers together as a group.

Abstract: A container for beverages has a hollow container body, an electronic device attached to the hollow container body and provided with a display for displaying a running light message, a microprocessor operative for generating a running light message on the display, and a control unit for controlling the microprocessor for carrying out the generation of the running unit message on the display.

Abstract: A container for alcoholic or non alcoholic beverages has a container body for accommodating a beverage, and a camera attached to the container body, for making pictures, as well as for storing, printing, and projecting the pictures.

Abstract: A system for and a method of acting on beverage bottles has a plurality of bottles each provided with a device selected from the group consisting of an electrical device and an electronic device integrated in each of the beverage bottles without interfering with a content of the bottle and providing a function; and a unit for remotely acting on the devices of at least some of the beverage bottles with the use of internet so that the devices produce corresponding functions.

Abstract: A bottle for alcoholic or non alcoholic beverages has a hollow body part defining an inner space for filling an alcoholic or non alcoholic beverage, and at least one device selected from the group consisting of an electrical device and electronic device and integrated in said hollow body part without interfering with a content of the bottle.

Abstract: A system for delivering data to a user includes a beverage container provided with an electronic device having an electronic display, and a portable electronic apparatus such as an electronic mobile phone or an electronic tablet, so that a user operates the portable electronic apparatus to compose data, which are transmitted via ultra-sound to the beverage container and displayed on its electronic display.

Abstract: An air brush is shown and described including a replaceable, rotatable, nozzle head including a media port and a needle arrangement. Media contamination of the air brush is limited to the removable nozzle head, thereby making the air brush body free of media contamination. By rotatable mounting of the nozzle head, a variety of media sources are made available, ranging from gravity fed devices such as media top and side cups to suction fed devices such as media jars. The trigger arrangement of the present invention presents an actuator shaft movable longitudinally in response to trigger movement for engagement of the needle of the nozzle head. Mechanical coupling between the air brush body and nozzle head is limited to structural coupling for mounting the nozzle head and an abutment relationship between the actuator shaft and the needle. This allows rotational freedom of movement for the nozzle head relative to the body, and also ease of dismounting by simply separating the nozzle head from the air brush body.
