  • Publication number: 20240189846
    Abstract: A drink and mist bottle cap is detachably attachable to a bottle to enable a person to produce a mist from a pump and mist nozzle and also drink from a drink spout. A drinking spout has a drink spout cap that is detachably attachable over the drinking spout to seal the liquid contents within the bottle when not drinking form the bottle. The drink and mist bottle cap may also have an anti-backwash valve that is configured to prevent backwash from flowing back into the interior of the bottle and an ultraviolet light configured to produce a disinfecting ultraviolet light within the bottle, and a pressure relief valve to allow pressure equalization when there is a pressure differential between the interior of the bottle and the exterior of the bottle.

  • Publication number: 20240194342
    Abstract: This application is directed to managing data. A computer system constructs a digital model of a user including a plurality of features representing demographic, medical, and activity data of the user. The computer system applies a classifier model to the digital model to identify a first set of actionable insights and identifies one or more clustering models generated from user data for a plurality of users in a vector space having dimensions correspond to the plurality of features. The computer system assigns the digital model to a respective cluster within each of the one or more clustering models, and identifies a second set of actionable insights according to respective clusters assigned to the digital model within the one or more clustering models. A subset of the first and second sets of actionable insights is presented to the user on a user interface.
