Abstract: An inventory tracking system includes storage modules that hold one or more items. Each item is positionable at locations within the storage modules independent of physical characteristics of the item. Inventory monitoring modules are included to monitor storage modules for adding an item, retrieving an item, consuming of the item, returning an unused item, discarding at least a portion of a consumed item, or combinations thereof. Each act is used to determine information about items utilized in the act, including the location within the storage modules of the items. Each storage module updates a central inventory database about a location of the storage module, a revised inventory of the items stored within the storage modules, or both. The location of the storage modules, the revised inventory of the items stored within the storage modules, or both, is used to order a replenishment of the items held within the storage modules.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a compact and automated single device capable of washing, drying, and sterilizing a bottle and its accessories, along with preparing and filing milk in the cleaned bottle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for monitoring a concentration of an analyte in a foetus. The device comprises a biosensor for electrochemically measuring a concentration of an analyte in the foetus, a protrusion configured to be at least partially inserted into foetal tissue, and a device body supporting the biosensor and the protrusion. The device is configured such that when the device body contacts the surface area of the foetal tissue, the device body can be anchored to the foetal tissue and the protrusion can be inserted into the tissue so that the reactive substance of the biosensor electrochemically reacts with the analyte in the foetal tissue and in response to the electrochemical reaction the electrode of the biosensor detects an electronic signal, a strength of the electronic signal being indicative of the concentration of the analyte.

Abstract: A cooking apparatus that combines microwave based heating/cooking with either of blender/mixer grinder functionality and traditional cooking using open flame and/or induction cooking is disclosed. The cooking apparatus comprises a lid and at least one microwave producing device coupled to the lid. A lifting and lowering mechanism carries the lid and microwave producing device at a lower end for enabling vertically raising and lowering the lid along with the coupled microwave producing device. Upper end of lifting and lowering mechanism is slidably configured with a lower side of a chimney. Lid in lowered position gets operatively coupled with a container holding a food item. The container can be one for cooking food using conventional source of heat, or a container for preparatory operations such as blending, stirring, grinding and mixing. Coupling of the lid with the containers enables heating of the contents of the container through the microwaves generated by the at least one microwave producing device.
