The invention relates to container bodies configured to be used in filter-as-you-pour systems, where filtering is achieved as the user pours water from the container. Such container bodies may have an undivided internal storage volume, so as to not include a reservoir compartment for unfiltered water. They may be part of systems configured to filter water both as water is introduced into a container body of the system and as water is poured from the container body of the system. The filter assembly may be attached to the container body at a location proximate the outlet of the system. Filter media of the filter assembly may comprise an activated carbon textile material that presents a curved surface to water passing through the filter assembly. The container body may be configured as a pitcher, carafe, water bottle, jug, or other shaped container.

A system includes memory banks that store data and a data path coupled to the memory banks that transfers the data. The system also includes a latch that gates the data path based on a clock signal in the system. The system further includes interface circuitry coupled to the data path that sends an instruction to the memory banks to transmit the data on the data path in response to receiving a first rising edge of the clock signal. The interface circuitry also outputs gated data in response to receiving a second rising edge of the clock signal. The latch gates the data path to store the gated data in response to receiving a falling edge of the clock signal.

A portable water bottle includes a water bottle body having water stored therein; and a sterilizing module for irradiating the inside of the water bottle body with sterilizing ultraviolet rays. The sterilizing module further includes a housing having an ultraviolet outlet through which the sterilizing ultraviolet rays pass; a light source module for emitting the sterilizing ultraviolet rays; and a power storage member for supplying power to the light source module.

The present invention provides a hydrogen water generator capable of efficiently generating hydrogen with a structure in which anode electrode(s) and cathode electrode(s) are arranged in a container in an approximately vertical direction. The electrode portion 4 which includes two or more of anode electrodes 4A or cathode electrodes 4B is supported by a generator body cover portion 2. The generator body cover portion 2 is held and the electrode portion 4 is immersed in drinking water in a beverage container 12 such as a cup. Then, electrolysis is caused owing to that a controller 11 applies voltage obtained by boosting supply voltage from a battery 8 to the electrode portion 4 for a predetermined time. At this time, since a plurality of energizing paths between the anode electrode(s) and the cathode electrode(s) are formed, hydrogen can be effectively generated in the drinking water.

The present invention is directed to a water container. The water container comprises a fluid path defined by a rigid fluid reservoir, a filter and a water outlet having an open position and a closed position; a fluid inlet, and a pump coupled to the fluid inlet. The pump comprises a non-return valve and a piston shaft through which a piston head may be moved, the piston head being coupled to a piston rod slidably moveable through an orifice at a first end of the piston shaft, wherein the orifice is sealed about the piston rod such that, in use, operation of the pump pumps fluid from a fluid source in communication with the fluid inlet, through the non-return valve and into the fluid reservoir so as to pressurise the fluid reservoir such that, when the water outlet is in the open position, a pressure differential induces a flow of water along the fluid path through the filter to the water outlet. The piston shaft is substantially surrounded by the filter.

A vessel that has a pre-filtered liquid area, a compressible portion, and filter material. The pre-filtered liquid area is configured to receive an unfiltered liquid. The compressible portion defines at least in part a filtered liquid storage area. The compressible portion is configured to be compressed into a compressed state and to return to an uncompressed state when no longer compressed. The filter material is positioned between the pre-filtered liquid area and the filtered liquid storage area. The unfiltered liquid is sucked from the pre-filtered liquid area through the filter material and into the filtered liquid storage area when the compressible portion returns to the uncompressed state. The filter material filters the unfiltered liquid, as the unfiltered liquid is sucked through the filter material, to produce a processed liquid that includes filtered liquid and/or purified liquid.

A fluid filtration system for use in a lid of a fluid container, such as a water bottle or water jug, that is adapted to receive a quick disconnect fitting and a pressurization source. The quick disconnect fitting is connected to flexible tubing which can be used to withdraw fluid from the water bottle by using pressure as a motive force. A fluid filtration system for use in a lid of a fluid container, such as a water bottle, water jug, or barrel that comprises a lid configured to attach to a container. The filter is in fluid communication with the lid through an outlet port. An external pressure source pumps the fluid through the filter through an outlet valve on the outlet port of the lid.

A portable water purifier has a container, a lid assembly, and a filtering assembly. The container has a containing space. The lid assembly is mounted to the container by threading and has a suction nozzle communicating with the containing space. The filtering assembly is mounted in the container, is connected to the lid assembly, and has a cover and at least one filter element. The cover is disposed in the container, is adjacent to the lid assembly, and has a communicating tube communicating with the suction nozzle and an interior of the container. The at least one filter element is disposed between the cover and a bottom of the container.

The present invention is generally directed to a hydrogen peroxide-based lens care system for disinfecting contact lenses. Unlike hydrogen peroxide-based system known in the prior art, a lens care system of the present invention involves electrochemically neutralizing of hydrogen peroxide after any desired period of disinfection time for which contact lenses have been immersed in a hydrogen peroxide-based lens care solution.
