  • Publication number: 20230259869
    Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to monitoring condition compliance. In some embodiments, a system comprises a child device comprising a child device sensor configured to capture condition data, a child device memory configured to store the condition data, a child device transmitter configured to transmit the condition data, and a control circuit configured to cause transmission of a discovery message, receive acknowledgment messages, determine if the discovery message reached a parent device, if the discovery message reached a parent device, cause transmission of the condition data to the parent device, and if the discovery message did not reach a parent device, determine, from the other devices, one of the other devices, and cause transmission of the condition data to the one of the other devices, and the parent device configured to store and transmit condition data received from a plurality of child devices.

  • Publication number: 20220137019
    Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to determining a flavor profile for an item. In some embodiments, a computing system for determining a flavor profile of an item comprises a memory device storing computer-executable instructions and a processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to obtain a spectral profile associated with the item, identify at least one attribute value for at least one attribute of the item based on the received spectral profile, determine a flavor score for the item based on the at least one attribute value, obtain time series data associated with the item corresponding to a number of days, calculate a predicted flavor score for the item relative to the number of days based on the received time series data, and generate a flavor profile for the item based at least on the predicted flavor score.
