Abstract: The invention relates to liquid containers comprising a plurality of sealed additive chambers in communication with a vessel tillable with a liquid. The additive chambers comprise independently selected additives that may be added to a liquid in the container at the option of the user. The user can manually open the additive chambers of their choice and release the additive into a liquid in the vessel without destroying the integrity of the container. In this manner, the liquid containers are programmable by the users and various aspects of the liquid in the container, such as color and/or flavor, is controlled by the user.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a systematic approach to computer aided inventing. In a modeling environment, a model representing an item, composition or process can be defined and configured using the lexicon and specification of an innovation database. In the model, objects can be indentified, defined, and configured to provide the model with constituent products, components, features and materials. An innovation engine automatically applies one or more morphs from the innovation database to the objects or the model to generate morphed versions of the model that may provide innovations of, or invention to, the item, composition or process represented by the model.

Abstract: The invention relates to machine-readable code that tracks user input and associated computer output during use of a computer programmed with the code, identifies repetitive patterns and automates the user input portion of those identified repetitive patterns when they occur again.

Abstract: The invention relates to an input device having multifunctional keys, wherein the different functions are triggered by varying the pressure on the keys or by varying the depth to which the key is depressed or the distance it is moved (see FIG. 3). The input device requires substantially fewer keys than a standard qwerty keyboard to input data and requires less physical space. In certain instances the keyboard can be operated with one hand.
