Abstract: A beverage counter for keeping track of the number of beverages consumed. The beverage counter has a region for contact with a beverage container. The portion for contact with a beverage container can be a sleeve which surrounds the exterior of the beverage container. The sleeve may have insulating properties. As the beverage is inserted into the sleeve, the insertion triggers a counting mechanism to increase the count displayed on the count mechanism by one. The counting mechanism may be a mechanical counter, or an electrical counter, or an optical counter. Once a consumed beverage is removed from the sleeve, inserting a new beverage into the sleeve increases the beverage count by one again. A counter reset button is used to reset the count cycle.

Abstract: The touch screen target designator provides an interface between an opera and an automatic tracking system, which uses the operator's overpressure or touch on the displayed image of a target to designate the target for an automatic tracker. Necessary components include an imaging device/seeker, operator image display with touch screen, imaging tracker and control interface. In operation the operator touches the screen image of the target he desires to have tracked and this action automatically locks the tracker onto the selected target.
