A beverage heating system is provided that enables hot beverages, such as coffee or tea, to be enjoyed at a desired temperature for a longer period of time, without requiring the beverages to be reheated, and without requiring any external power source. The system comprises a hot beverage reservoir, for receiving a hot beverage for consumption therefrom; and a self-heating element, configured to heat a base portion of the hot beverage reservoir, during consumption therefrom, to maintain a desired temperature of the hot beverage, without requiring any external power. The self-heating element may be configured to heat based upon an exothermic reaction.

Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to wireless heat devices (“wireless heating devices”). More specifically, some embodiments relate to disposable devices, designed for the conversion of oscillating magnetic field energy directly into thermal energy, without a battery storage medium or intermediary. Described are devices being used to directly convert magnetic field energy into thermal energy for the purpose of heating target surfaces.

A drinking/feeding container and method for delivering fluid to a user at a drinking/feeding temperature which is higher than a storage temperature of the fluid. The container includes a fluid storage compartment, a lid and a heating device. The heating device is positioned between the fluid storage compartment and the lid. The heating device has an inlet which accepts the fluid from the fluid storage compartment, an outlet which dispenses the fluid to the lid and a passageway which extends between the inlet and the outlet. A Peltier device is provided between the inlet and the outlet and cooperates with the passageway to heat the fluid as the fluid moves from the inlet to the outlet. A power source supplies power to the heating device. A pulsing member pulses the power to the heating device whereby the pulsing of the power prevents the heating element from overheating.

Provided are a smart bottle and a method for controlling the smart bottle. A smart bottle comprises a bottle for containing liquid; a base formed to be combined to one side of the bottle; a first sensor installed in the bottle or the base, and configured to obtain level information of liquid contained in the bottle; a third sensor configured to obtain inclination information of the bottle; a heater configured to heat the liquid contained in the bottle; a controller configured to control operation of the heater based on the temperature information, determine a feeding start and a feeding end based on the inclination information, and modify the level information based on the inclination information; a communication unit configured to transmit the inclination information and the level information to an external device; and a battery configured to supply power to the first sensor and the base.

An actively heated or cooled beverage container includes a body chosen from a group consisting of a mug, a cup and a travel mug, the body having a chamber configured to receive and hold a food or beverage therein. The container has a temperature control system that includes a phase change material positioned about at least a portion of the chamber that removes heat from the beverage disposed in the chamber that has a temperature above a predetermined drinking temperature to lower the temperature of the beverage toward the predetermined drinking temperature. One or more heating elements positioned in thermal communication with a different portion of the chamber than the phase change material. The temperature control system also has control circuitry configured to control the operation of the heating element. The temperature control system also includes a ring rotatably coupled to a distal end of the body, the ring configured to rotate about a central axis of the container relative to a proximal portion of the body and to communicate with the control circuitry.
