Abstract
A container system includes a first container for holding first contents; a resonant surface disposed on or within the container; and an excitation device for providing an excitation to the resonant surface. Excitation of the resonant surface provides a resonant response, which defines information about a property of the container.
Claims20
A container system, comprising:
- a first container for holding first contents;
- a resonant surface disposed on or within the container;
- and
- an excitation device for providing an excitation to the resonant surface;
- wherein the excitation of the resonant surface provides a resonant response, and wherein the resonant response defines information about a property of the container.

A container system, comprising:
- a container for holding contents;
- a reflective surface disposed on or within the container;
- and
- an excitation device for providing an excitation to the reflective surface;
- wherein the excitation of the reflective surface provides a resonant response, the response defining information about the properties of the container and the contents therein.

A container system, comprising:
- a container for holding contents, the container having a resonant surface disposed on or within the container;
- a computing system comprising an excitation device for providing an excitation to the resonant surface and a sensor for measuring a resonant response of the resonant surface in response to the excitation, the resonant response defining an attribute of the container, the computing system further comprising a processor in data communication with a networking device, at least one input/output device, and computer memory, the computer memory comprising a program having machine readable instructions that, when effected by the processor, performs the following steps:
- (a) generating an excitation via the excitation device;
- (b) determining, via the sensor, a baseline resonant response of the resonant surface;
- (c) storing the baseline resonant response in computer memory;
- (d) generating a second excitation via the excitation device;
- (e) determining, via the sensor, a second resonant response of the resonant surface;
- (f) comparing the second resonant response with the baseline resonant response;
- and
- (g) activating an alert if the second resonant response is outside of a predetermined threshold, the predetermined threshold being based on the baseline resonant response.
