  • Publication number: 20230029220
    Abstract: The present invention is a method for developing and providing a personalized distilled spirit, or other beverage, to a user who responds to a collection of stimulus in the form of taste samples, smell samples, written, and/or visual representations. The user's responses to the stimulus may be compared to expert responses in a database to create a recommended recipe resulting in one or more customized product samples being either physical products or written/visual responses in the form of tasting notes or a flavor map, for example. The user can then modify their customized spirit, repeating the process as many times as they wish and then submit for the production and purchase of the recipe based on an array of spirits or other beverages that is then combined using a blending machine.

  • Publication number: 20190274338
    Abstract: A simplified method of cooking salmon uses boiling water as it cools to cook the fish, includes the following steps: providing a frozen fillet of fish in a sealed bag; placing the bag in a container holding boiling water and simultaneously or immediately thereafter removing heat or an energy source; retaining the bag in the water for a period of time; removing the bag from the water; delaying removal of the fish from the bag for an additional period of time; then removing the fish from the bag for consumption. A kit includes the frozen fish fillet in the bag along with instructions to follow the method of cooking.

  • Publication number: 20090043719
    Abstract: A method is provided for simulating customer reaction to stimulus based on historical observable customer outcomes. Embodiments of the invention describe a series of steps that when taken together accomplish a predictive outcome of customer simulation from a plurality of source inputs without prior assumptions of relationship between inputs and simulated outcomes. The invention comprises a series of steps that effect the framing of the simulation model from which customer predicted outcomes are made. The various frames required to create the preferred simulation model include: customer database development, stimulus archetype development, model data development, model building, simulation of future customer reaction and suggested courses of action based on the results of the simulation.
