  • Publication number: 20240000247
    Abstract: A device for controlling food portions, including a hollow body defining a useful volume, vertical walls dividing the useful volume into at least two compartments, and a central axis from which the walls extend radially, the device including a vertical movable wall in at least one compartment, able to pivot about the axis so as to vary a volume of use of the compartment alone.

  • Patent number: 11493470
    Abstract: Moisture that is possibly present in an integrated circuit is detected autonomously by the integrated circuit itself. An interconnect region of the integrated circuit includes a metal level with a first track and a second track which are separated by a dielectric material. A detection circuit applies a potential difference between the first and second tracks. A current circulating in one of the first and second tracks in response to the potential difference is measured and compared to a threshold. If the current exceeds the threshold, this is indicative of the presence of moisture which renders said dielectric material less insulating.
