Abstract: A method and system for monitoring an offender or defendant or potential victim utilizing multi-factor location verification. In one embodiment, the multi-factor location verification method and system utilizes GPS location data and WiFi router location data, transmitted on predetermined intervals by a wearable device and a smart phone, to determine whether the wearable device and smart phone are within a predetermined geolocation. If it is determined in subsequent transmissions of location data that not all location data is within the predetermined geolocation, an alert is sent out indicating that an offender or defendant or potential victim is no longer located within the predetermined geolocation.

Abstract: Methods and systems for reducing acrylamide concentration in heat-processed products, and products produced by such methods and systems are provided. The baked products may be sprayed with a riboflavin solution and then irradiated with a UV light source to initiate monomer reactions of acrylamide and reduce the concentration of the acrylamide in the baked product. In addition, riboflavin may be dissolved in heat-processed products, followed by irradiation of the riboflavin-containing heat-processed products with a UV light source to initiate monomer reactions of acrylamide and reduce the concentration of the acrylamide in the baked product.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring an offender or defendant or potential victim wherein in one embodiment the apparatus comprises a smartwatch which may include the following features: two way voice communication, software to permit biometric identification of the individual, a tamper resistant band, location tracking, a casing which is waterproof, a wireless telephone communicator, one or more sensors (for example, a light sensor or a heart rate sensor), a wireless charger, a touch screen, a microphone, and a camera. In another embodiment, the smartwatch includes a panic alert button. The apparatus allows the enrollee or wearer of the device to be monitored by a third party and allows communication between the third party and the enrollee or wearer of the device.

Abstract: A method of supervising an offender or defendant who has been arrested or incarcerated and then released, preferably includes the steps of: a) the offender or defendant paying to a first monitoring entity an enrollment fee so that the offender or defendant becomes an enrollee; b) wherein in step “a” the enrollee has a mobile device or land line device having a camera and that is able to receive messages and/or telephone calls from the first monitoring entity; c) the enrollee receiving from the first monitoring entity a communication; d) wherein in step “c” the communication requires that the enrollee film himself or herself using the camera of his or her land line or mobile device; e) the monitoring entity selecting a method of identifying the enrollee by optionally using voice recognition or facial recognition; and f) the monitoring entity notifying a second entity that is a law enforcement entity if the enrollee does not answer the communication of step “c” or is not properly identified by the voice reco

Abstract: A method of making a tastant composition may generally comprise granulating an edible carrier and a first tastant and coating the granules with a second tastant. A tastant composition may generally comprise a core including a mixture of an edible carrier and a first tastant, and a coating on the core, the coating comprising a second tastant, and optionally a binder. Each of the first tastant and second tastant may comprise sodium chloride particles. The tastant composition may provide a substitute for a conventional tastant topping with a comparable appearance, e.g., comparable particle size, color, and morphology, as well as a comparable taste profile (time v. flavor intensity), but with significantly lower tastant content.
