  • Patent number: 10274475
    Abstract: An apparatus is configured to detect a beverage that is contaminated with a substance. The apparatus may include a testing material, wherein the testing material may comprise a cavity having a complementary shape to a molecule associated with the substance. The apparatus may include a taste substance filling the cavity, wherein the taste substance filling the cavity may bleed out into the beverage when the molecule associated with the substance in the beverage replaces the taste substance filling the cavity, wherein a taste of the beverage may change when the taste substance bleeds out into the beverage as an indicator that the substance is present in the beverage.

  • Patent number: 9763767
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling a device to alleviate sleep apnea comprises determining whether a user of the device is asleep by a microcontroller operatively connected to the device. Using a sensor operatively connected to the microcontroller, it is determined whether a breathing anomaly of the user is detected while the user is asleep. An electromagnet operatively connected to the device generates an electromagnetic field to widen an airway of the user in response to detecting the breathing anomaly while the user is asleep.
