Chopstick Applications: Kitchen utensil, Cooking, Travel

** Butter -- The shelf life of butter is less at room temperature than when refrigerated..Many times, butter freezes in the refrigerator which usually means it stays out and about in the room temperature for a long period of time to defrost it for any cooking applications. Unfortunately, this shortens the shelf life every time butter is removed from the refrigerator. However, if split in to cubes, the same butter will have a longer shelf life as cubes are more practical to defrost than the entire bar of butter. The same cubes may also be liquefied based on use. Furthermore, liquefied butter may be measured in a measuring cup for a healthy intake of saturated/unsaturated fats. The cubes may also prevent greasy kitchen leading to slip and fall hazards...

Relevant Background: "Chopsticks are shaped pairs of equal-length sticks that have been used as kitchen and eating utensils in most of East Asia for over three millennia...Chopsticks are smoothed and frequently tapered and are commonly made of bamboo, plastic, wood, or stainless steel. They are less commonly made from titanium, gold, silver, porcelain, jade, or ivory. Chopsticks are held in the dominant hand, between the thumb and fingers, and used to pick up small pieces of food...To use chopsticks, the lower chopstick is stationary, and rests at the base of the thumb, and between the ring finger and middle finger. The second chopstick is held like a pencil, using the tips of the thumb, index finger, and middle finger, and it is moved while eating, to pull food into the grasp of the chopsticks.[25] .. They are used in the preparation of Japanese food, and are not designed for eating. These chopsticks allow handling of hot food with one hand, and are used like regular chopsticks.[27] These chopsticks have a length of 30 cm (12 in) or more, and may be looped together with a string at the top. They are made from bamboo, but for deep frying, metal chopsticks with bamboo handles are preferred, as the tips of regular bamboo chopsticks discolor and get greasy after repeated use in hot oil. The bamboo handles protect against heat.Similarly, Vietnamese cooks use the oversized đũa cả or "grand chopsticks" in cooking, serving rice from the pot...A 2006 Hong Kong Department of Health survey found that the proportion of people using distinctly separate serving chopsticks, spoons, or other utensils for serving food from a common dish has increased from 46% to 65% since the SARS outbreak in 2003..."

Relevant Material: "While there’s no direct scientific evidence supporting the link between communal eating and coronavirus, several medical experts suggest that sharing dishes with individual utensils should be avoided. Study is needed, but saliva on eating utensils could conceivably play a role in contagion...“Some pathogens (or) germs can be transmitted by the sharing of utensils,” Tarik Jasarevic, a spokesperson for the World Health Organization (WHO), told Al Jazeera. “The risk of spreading COVID-19 through sharing of utensils is not yet known, but plausible based on current knowledge.”.."

Programming Commercial Glass Sliding Doors

*** Relevant Background :  " An  automatic door , also known as an  auto door , is a  door  that opens automatically, without the need for human intervention or usually upon sensing the approach of a person. A person can be detected by microwave pulses,  infrared sensors  , or pressure-sensing pads...  " ( Automatic door - Wikipedia ) ***  Relevant Material :  " THEY HIT PEOPLE MORE OFTEN THAN YOU THINK AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY Most of us walk through automatic doors on a regular basis. Most retail stores have some form of automatic doors, whether they are sliding doors, revolving doors, swinging doors, or folding doors. Most people who pass through automatic doors don't think about the fact that they can be struck by the door or trapped between the door and door frame. We expect them to simply open for us and close behind us. But often, that is not the case. When an automatic door hits you, you don’t expect it. It can throw...

  ******** " Question Is cycling associated with risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality among persons with diabetes? Findings In this cohort study of 7459 persons with diabetes, cycling was associated with at least a 24% lower all-cause mortality rate when compared with noncyclists, independent of other physical activity and putative confounders. Taking up cycling over a 5-year period was associated with at least a 35% lower risk of all-cause mortality when compared with consistent noncyclists. Meaning Cycling could be encouraged as an activity for persons with diabetes to lower the risk of premature mortality.. "  (Larsen et al., n.d.) **** Relevant Insurance Coverage: a.

Blood Pressure Monitor

Image
**** Relevant Background: “ Arterial blood pressure  is most commonly measured via a  sphygmomanometer , which historically used the height of a column of mercury to reflect the circulating pressure. [1] Blood pressure values are generally reported in  millimetres of mercury  (mmHg), though  aneroid  and electronic devices do not contain  mercury .… For each heartbeat, blood pressure varies between   systolic   and   diastolic   pressures. Systolic pressure is peak pressure in the arteries, which occurs near the end of the   cardiac cycle   when the   ventricles   are contracting. Diastolic pressure is minimum pressure in the arteries, which occurs near the beginning of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles are filled with blood. An example of normal measured values for a resting, healthy adult human is 120 mmHg   systolic   and 80 mmHg   diastolic   (written as 120/80 mmHg, and...
