A medication compliance and drug abuse prevention device for use as a cap with conventional medication container. The neck of the cap is adapted for mating with the neck of any conventional medication container. The mating of the cap neck with the container neck forms a seal therebetween and the seal can be maintained in a locked or unlocked state as per requirement. The cap has a weighment module configured to measure a mass of a medicinal substance contained inside the container. A control module determines a difference in the mass of the medicinal substance measured before and after the unlocked state and initiate one or more alert actions if the difference in mass of the medicinal substance is found to be less than or more than a prescribed mass of medicinal substance.

The present invention relates generally to the field of alcohol consumption monitoring. More specifically, the present invention relates to a consumption tracking beverage container which allows a user to track the amount of wine or alcohol that they consume over time from said container. Further, the container may be wirelessly paired to a mobile application on a smart device to allow the user to analyze his or her alcohol consumption trends and patterns over time.

A coffee-specific electronic scale comprising an electronic scale. The electronic scale comprises a base; a main control chip is provided on the base; wires are provided on the main control chip; No. 1 scale device and No. 2 scale device are provided in the base; a pour-over coffee stand is provided on the No. 2 scale device; and a filter device is provided on the pour-over coffee stand; the No. 1 scale device and the No. 2 scale device are separately connected to the main control chip by means of wires; an operating panel, which is connected with the main control chip by conducting wires, is set on the external wall of the base. The coffee-specific electronic scale can accurately weigh real-time total water pouring amount in the process of making drip coffee, thus helping to more accurately regulate the water pouring rate, reducing errors in calculating the concentration of coffee, and ensuring the taste of the coffee.
