Abstract: A methodology for customers seeking to purchase a meal from a food service vendor such as a restaurant, a cafeteria, or a vending machine, by ordering a food preparation based upon menu-selections. In addition to receiving ordered food, customers receive suggestions for optionally modifying their food orders based upon nutritional benefits and other criteria. Either during real-time customer-ordering or during post-ordering, a food-service vendor presents a customer suggestions specific to a pending tentative or completed order, wherein the customer may enjoy purported nutritional benefits by electing to follow these suggestions and thereby modify the tentative order into a corresponding completed order. Alternatively, the customer may elect to ignore these suggestions, but may nonetheless decide to effect such food-ordering modifications during subsequent visits.

Abstract: A methodology for preventing hijacking of surface vehicles by invoking an override means for taking control of such vehicles, when circumstances merit such drastic corrective action. If monitoring sensors indicate that exigent circumstances such as airplane hijacking are occurring, then action would be triggered from a central control to either disable the vehicle, dump fuel, shutdown engines, or otherwise override control thereof. This action would frustrate the hijackers' purpose and could save lives and minimize losses.
