Disclosed is a visual timer, comprising a back shell, a PCB board, an encoder, a color display screen, an adjusting knob, a knob sleeve and a lens. The PCB board is arranged on the front of the back shell, the encoder is arranged at the bottom of the front of the PCB board, the color display screen is arranged on the front of the PCB board, the adjusting knob is arranged on the front of the encoder, the knob sleeve is arranged on the front of the adjusting knob, and the lens is arranged on the front of the color display screen. The timer provided by the invention has the characteristics of time visualization, low efficacy and convenient time adjustment by the adjusting knob, and the maximum timing range can be switched to 120 minutes and 60 minutes.

A timer device comprising a first timer in communication with control means, the control means being in communication with an external component and the first timer sending an order to the control means after a first preset time period is counted by the first timer, the timer device also comprising a second timer in communication with the control means, the second timer counting a second preset time period that is a portion of the first preset time period. The timer device permits an accurate operation, even with changes of temperature and voltage, and with a reduced cost.

A multilayer time indicator comprises a multilayer first part and a multilayer second part. The first part comprises a topsheet in contact with an enhancement layer and an optional reference layer, and the enhancement layer is in contact with a timing layer. The second part comprises a dye layer, an optional dark layer, and a substrate layer. The timing layer and the dye layer are separate from one another, and are optionally protected by one or more release liners. To activate the indicator, the timing and dye layers are separated from the one or more release liners and then joined to one another.

This present invention relates to a dental care timer that informs both children and adults to brush their teeth for a minimum period of time, preferably two minutes. The dental care timer is preferably comprised of a stylish housing with a mounting or supporting structure. The front of the housing features a display for a countdown timer, a power button, and a speaker. An internal battery powers the dental care timer and its various components, and the timer device is capable of communicating with a user's smart device, such as a smart phone, smart watch, tablet or the like. Upon the conclusion of an appropriate brushing session, the dental care timer will emit an audible signal to the user.

A medicine bottle timer lid. The medicine bottle timer lid includes a housing removably securable to a medicine bottle having a display operably connected to a timer. The housing further includes a battery and a sensor disposed therein. The sensor is configured to detect the position of the housing with respect to the medicine bottle. The timer is configured to begin counting when the housing is secured to the medicine bottle, and the display shows the amount of time that has elapsed since the housing was secured to the medicine bottle. The timer is further configured to reset upon removal of the housing from the medicine bottle. The medicine bottle timer lid allows individuals to automatically keep track of their medication.

A medication reminder system, comprising a control device operable to receive data representing a dosage regime for the medication for use with an electronic tag, the tag communicatively coupled to a display device to be placed on or in association with an item containing the medication, the tag including a transceiver operable to send and receive data to and from the control device, wherein the display device is operable to display an indicator representing the dosage regime or a parameter associated with the dosage regime.

A watch including an electronic movement driving display for an analog display on a dial of at least one additional function in addition to a normal current time display, the at least one function being controlled by a controller and including at least one phase using an operating mode in which a duration of the phase is measured.

In one embodiment there is a method for activating a function of a mobile application on a mobile device, using a movable device, the movable device including a processor, the processor including an inertial measurement unit and a wireless transmitter. The method comprising: at the movable device: detecting a movement signal at the inertial measurement unit indicating movement of the movable device; in response to detecting the movement signal from the wireless transmitter, determining whether the movement signal meets movement criteria; in response to determining that the movement signal meets movement criteria, transmitting a function activation signal to the mobile device to activate the function of the mobile application; and in response to determining that the movement signal does not meet movement criteria, refraining from transmitting a function activation signal to the mobile device to activate the function of the mobile application.

An emergency readiness verification system includes a housing, a secure weight-sensing mechanism, a vertically-actuated switch assembly, a vertically-adjustable calibration mechanism, and an alert device in communication with the vertically-actuated switch assembly. The vertically-adjustable calibration mechanism fixes a vertical position of the vertically-actuated switch assembly such that an engagement tab of the attachment extension engages an actuator of the vertically-actuated switch assembly when a weight of the fire extinguisher supported by an extinguisher attachment falls is within an alert threshold, and disengages the actuator when the weight of the fire extinguisher falls below the alert threshold or when the fire extinguisher is not supported by the extinguisher attachment.
