US Patent:

6536306, Mar 25, 2003

Filed:

Aug 28, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/649119

Inventors:

Debra Fogel Harris - Boca Raton FL 33431

International Classification:

B67B 744

US Classification:

81 309, 374155

Abstract:

An intelligent cork screw device which determines the temperature of the bottle and informs the consumer as to what type of wine is suitable for that temperature. In a preferred embodiment, the cork screw provides a temperature readout. Alternative embodiments include temperature gauges which are marked to indicate the wines which are appropriate for that temperature. Other alternative embodiments provide entertainment features such as voice or other audio indications related to the temperature. Still other embodiments include visual indication such as lamps which indicate what type of wine would be proper for the temperature of the bottle being measured. The cork screw can use thermal measurement of the exterior of the wine bottle, or alternatively, the actual screw which penetrates the wine cork can be used as a temperature probe.

Abstract:

An intelligent corkscrew device which determines the temperature of the bottle and informs the consumer as to what type of wine is suitable for that temperature. In a preferred embodiment, the corkscrew provides a temperature readout. Alternative embodiments provide entertainment features such as voice or other audio indications related to the temperature. Still other embodiments include visual indication such as lamps which indicate what type of wine would be proper for the temperature of the bottle being measured. The corkscrew uses thermal measurement of the exterior of the wine bottle to measure the temperature. The measurement is made by a temperature sensing device, such as a thermistor or infrared detector on the end of the lever arm or other suitable location.

Filed:

Dec 29, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/322005

Inventors:

Debra Harris - Boca Raton FL, US

International Classification:

G01J 5/00
G01K 1/14
G01K 13/00

US Classification:

374121000, 374141000

Abstract:

Disclosed are devices and methods for measuring the temperature of a liquid in a container, the device either having a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the outer surface of the container, a probe for directly measuring the contents of the container, or an IR detector for measuring IR radiation passing, through, re-emitted by, and emitted by the container. The device may be in the form of a corkscrew, bottle opener, pen, or simple casing. The temperature reading may be outputted to the user audibly and/or visually, such as with an LCD display. In one embodiment, there are mounted a plurality of indicator lamps, each lamp representing a particular type of liquid, a control for selecting the type of liquid whose temperature is to be measured, an infrared detector, an output indicating to the user whether the temperature of the liquid is above or below a predetermined temperature range.

Inventors:

Debra Harris - Boca Raton FL, US

International Classification:

A61L 2/10

US Classification:

250455110

Abstract:

Disclosed is an apparatus for sterilizing sponges having a container, comprising a casing and lid, having a UV-transmissive support structure disposed therein, the UV-transmissive support dividing the interior of the container into a sponge chamber and a lamp chamber, the sponge chamber dimensioned to receive a sponge, a source of ultraviolet light disposed within the lamp chamber, and wherein at least one interior surface of the sponge chamber is reflective to UV light.
