Food container and devices and methods for attracting enhanced attention

Abstract

A food or beverage container 10 has a wall 12 with interior and exterior surfaces 16, 14 of uniform thickness. The wall has a fractal profile with corresponding convex and concave fractal elements 18-28 on the interior and exterior surfaces, forming pits 40 and bulges 42 in the profile of the wall, allowing coupling of multiple containers. The wall is flexible, permitting disengagement of coupled containers.  A device 2 for attracting enhanced attention comprises: (a) an input signal of a lacunar pulse train having characteristics of a pulse frequency of approximately four Hertz and a pulse-train fractal dimension of approximately one-half generated from a random walk over successive 300 millisecond intervals, each step being of equal magnitude and representative of a pulse train satisfying a fractal dimension equation of ln(number of intercepts of a neuron’s net input with a firing threshold) / ln(the total number of 300 ms intervals sampled); and (b) at least one controllable light source (6) configured to be pulsatingly operated by said input signal. A neural flame is emitted from the light source as a result of the lacunar pulse train. A method of attracting enhanced attention is also claimed.
