  • Publication number: 20230255364
    Abstract: In order to improve the behaviour of a museum display case towards objects exhibited therein, the display case is subjected to a heat treatment in which the museum display case is maintained at a treatment temperature for a treatment time. The treatment temperature is between 35° and 50° and the treatment time is at least 30 hours. In this way, the emission of harmful volatile substances, including VOCs (volatile organic compounds), is drastically reduced and consequently the objects displayed in the display case are not at risk of damages due to the presence of these volatile substances in the display case.

    Abstract: Method for monitoring the use of a drinking bottle and a system for carrying out the method. A drinking bottle is designed to detect, on the basis of sensor data of at least one sensor, whether the dispensing of liquid from the drinking bottle is caused by drinking and to distinguish this from dispensing processes which do not represent drinking processes. An evaluation system collects sensor data of the at least one sensor. The evaluation system evaluates this sensor data, and if the dispensing was caused by a drinking process, stores the number of drinking processes and/or the volume of the liquid dispensing caused by drinking.

    Abstract: An active foodware system senses food characteristics, such as weight, calories, and other nutrition. Dining dishes are removably mated with dish holders supported by a mechanical structure having visual stimulating, sensing, and wireless communication components. A visual stimulating component emits light from a dining dish. The mechanical structure protects the components and circuitry from liquid. The system may include a camera. Other components may provide data processing, auditory and haptic stimuli, wireless power, temperature sensing, and heating of food. Data related to the food is displayed on a visual stimulating component of a computer or mobile communication device, such as a mobile phone or tablet computer. The data may also be sent to the internet. Computer software displays nutrition information on the visual stimulating component, which may be displayed before, during, and/or after dining. Computer software may also provide visual and auditory encouragement for children to eat.
