Abstract: An apparatus for notifying a user. The apparatus includes an adhesive, an input module, an alarm module, a power source, and a processing unit. The adhesive removably attaches the apparatus to a container. The input module receives a user input from the user. The alarm module delivers a notification to the user. The processing unit initiates a timer to track a duration of time after receiving the user input at the input module. The processing unit then compares the duration of time and the user input to determine whether to deliver the notification to the user, and operates the alarm module to deliver the notification to the user when the duration of time is greater than or equal to the user input.

Abstract: An apparatus for comforting and interacting with an animal. The apparatus include a communication module, an input module, an output module, and a processing unit. The communication module receives a user input from an external device and the input module receives an animal input from the animal. The output module consists of at least one selected from the group of a heat generator and a vibration generator. The processing unit receivers the user input from the communication module and receives the animal input from the input module. The processing unit further operates the output module based on at least one of the user input and the animal input and transmits a signal based on the animal input to the external device using the communication module.
