Title: Dispositif de controle de portions
Inventor: CORMIER GUYLLAUME
IPC: B65D5/18
Filed: 2015-03-05
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé d'ouverture, de mesure et de versement, placé à l'extrémité d'une boîte de pâtes alimentaires longues, ou produit de même nature, permettant de servir avec précision une quantité prédéfinie du produit en question. Ce dispositif d'ouverture et de versement de pâtes alimentaires longues, ou produit de même nature, est rendu possible grâce aux quatre languettes distinctes formant l'extrémité d'une boîte en carton (1), ou autre matériau. Les deux languettes sur les côtés longs (2) sont repliées et collées l'une sur l'autre, et sont découpées d'un côté afin de créer une ouverture (3) d'où une quantité précise des dites pâtes alimentaires longues pourra être versée. La languette courte (4), se trouvant du même côté que l'ouverture (3), est refermée et collée par-dessus les languettes longues (2) de façon à couvrir complètement l'ouverture (3). Lors de la première utilisation, cette languette courte (4) est décollée en glissant un doigt sous celle-ci et en la soulevant légèrement, ce qui du même coup, découvre l'ouverture (3). Puis, en inclinant la dite boîte suffisamment, la gravité fait glisser les dites pâtes alimentaires à travers l'ouverture (3), donnant donc à l'utilisateur une portion équivalente à la superficie de ladite ouverture. Ensuite, afin de pouvoir refermer la dite boîte suite à son utilisation, la languette courte (4) est munie d'une encoche (5) au bout pouvant s'insérer dans l'ouverture (3) et ainsi empêcher les dites pâtes alimentaires de sortir de la dite boîte lors de manipulation quelconque.

Inventor: ANTYPAS NAFSICA
IPC: H04W4/90
Filed: 2015-04-10
Abstract: The most crucial element of this app is the Emergency Response system. It uses the phone's gps to locate the victim and once the victim taps on the "Hi" Alert button, it sends notifications simultaneously to three parties: our Center (where we can send out our emergency response team on-site), the victim's emergency contacts (that she has indicated and added as her "Trackers"), and the local police. (Instant phone dialing to the local police no matter where in the world.) There is a medium alert that notifies only our center and the emergency contacts, but not the local police. A short 15 second video recording is also sent at the time of a high alert.  This video gets sent to our center that we keep as proof and could hand over to the police in the case of an attack. This helps us identify the severity of the situation and can help identify the aggressor. As noted in the app's Terms of Use and Conditions, this app is not a game and the video recording feature must not be used a means to invade anyone's privacy. There is an important "Check-in" feature to inform the user's emergency contacts (aka, their "Trackers") and our center as well of their outings if the user finds it necessary or is skeptical about the safety of a particular area. If the user fails to "check-in" after a reminder and a missed phone-call, their situation is seen as not safe and all parties are alerted. Ever parent user can enter their children as users at no additional download cost, which the child can launch their app on their own gps-capable device. If ever a child goes missing, an automatic Missing Child Poster is automatically created (with some basic profile information previously entered) and this poster can be printed and shared on any social media network. "MyDiary" allows the user to document their thoughts of the day. Sometimes, this information is useful and can help the victim identify hints about a potentially aggressive partner.
