InactiveUS20100293106A1Character and pattern recognitionClosed circuit television systemsFood deliveryBarcode
In one arrangement, a first user sends information from a portable device and receives a response that depends, at least in part, on the location of a second user's portable device. The information sent from the first portable device may be based on data captured by a sensor in that device. In another arrangement, a user of a portable device sends two types of data, sensor-related data and location-related data, and receives a response that is based on both of these of data. In one particular such embodiment, the user scans a barcode or watermark from a coupon or other printed object, and sends decoded payload data—together with location data (e.g., GPS data)—to a remote server. The remote server routes the information to a vendor near the user who can, e.g., fulfill an order for food delivery to the user.

Temperature controlled food transport containers suitable for limited power capacity vehicles
InactiveUS20050091988A1Domestic refrigeratorsSmall article transportationPolymer insulationEngineering
The container has a specific construction for low weight with low thermal loss by combining the use of certain polymer insulation with the use of air space between internal structures. The container contains a single or multiple heaters or coolers that can be integrated as a single heating and cooling element, and either integrated into a single container, or in separate containers. The heating or cooling is accomplished by attaching to an internal thermal conducting, e.g. metal, structure either heating or cooling thermal conducting elements or internal thermal heat exchangers with a fan that circulates air over the thermal heat exchanger and heats or cools the air directly. An intelligent power management electronic controls management system is used to result in food delivery containers suitable for power, limited lower capacity vehicles such as motorcycles or scooters. The present invention provides the power for these hot and cold boxes by either modifying the existing alternator to increase the power available from a limited power low capacity motorcycle or similar vehicle or relying on one or more auxiliary alternators added to and driven by the limited power and low capacity vehicle. Further, an additional heat source can be used from the engine or exhaust and the heat can be transferred to the heated container by liquid, gas, or thermal conduction means, to reduce the electrical energy required for limited power low capacity vehicles.

Nutrition intake tracker
In one embodiment, this invention utilizes radio frequency identification (RFID) tag with nutrition information for each kind of food in a restaurant, institutional cafeteria, in food delivery to hospital patients, in hospice, in old age home residents or elsewhere. The food plate is placed on a coaster with an RFID reader and miniature built-in scale. The scale is used to measure the weight of a particular food placed on the plate. In addition, the RFID reader reads the nutritional information from an RFID tag in the serving bin of the cafeteria or the food distribution point. With the nutritional information of each food and the amount of the food that is added to the plate, the nutritional intake of a customer or patient can be calculated. With this the nutrition information now available, the nutritional information, including the amount of vitamins, calories, sugars, carbohydrates, and grams (g) of fat, can be obtained and tracked.

A belt-based grain dryer is used to solve the problems of large volume, inconvenient movement and high investment cost of grain crop drying equipment. The structure of the present invention consists of two stages of dry layers with the same structure. The grain is transported through the conveyor belt in the drying layer, and the moving speed of the conveyor belt is adjusted according to the humidity of the grain, which can be used to solve the problem that the drying time of the current drying equipment cannot be adjusted. In the drying process, the invention utilizes the grain scraper to evenly spread the grains with equal thickness. When working, the hot air blown from the hot blast stove enters from the lower side of the equipment, and the upper side uses a suction fan to suck out the moisture. The smoke from the hot blast stove also enters the drying layer, which greatly reduces energy consumption. The invention has good drying effect, simple structure, convenient movement, high efficiency and low investment.
