Abstract: A wireless drink container can monitor a person's hydration and prompt him or her to drink more if appropriate. The drink containers as described herein can monitor liquid levels and communicate with external devices about the liquid levels and rate of consumption. One or more sensors in the drink container monitor the liquid level within the container. A processor coupled to the sensor(s) estimates how much liquid has been removed from the container from changes in the liquid level and transmits a signal representing the change in liquid level to a smartphone or other external device. It also triggers an audio or visual indicator, such as an LED, that prompts the user to drink more based on the user's estimated liquid consumption and on the user's liquid consumption goals, which may be based on the user's physiology, activity level, and location.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to the use of ultrasound for treating ballast water in ships. Specifically the invention discloses the use of ultrasound to activate chemicals to significantly improve there disinfectant properties at low concentrations. Ultrasound chemical activation allows for sonication of only a portion of the incoming ballast water, greatly increasing the cost-effectiveness of ballast water treatment. The ballast water treatment system may integrate with new or existing shipboard ballast systems attaching to the ballast inlet mains; mixing, sonicating and delivering the active substance as it feeds into the ballast tanks. Alternatively, when space or other factors are an issue it can be designed to achieve the same mixing, sonication and delivery from a small apparatus attached to the ballast tanks.
