  • Publication number: 20240306652
    Abstract: A high-fat flour replacement includes a fat, an emulsifier, a protein, a starch and a soluble fiber. In preferred embodiments, the high-fat flour replacement is a finely ground particulate “flour”. The high-fat flour replacement can have a macronutrient profile analogous to that of almond flour. A process for producing a high-fat flour replacement includes a step of forming an emulsion including a fat, water and an emulsifier and a step of combining the emulsion with a blend of dry ingredients to form a composition (e.g., using an extruder). The blend of dry ingredients includes a protein, a starch and a soluble fiber. In preferred embodiments, the composition is processed in an extruder to form an extruded material (e.g., in the form of pellets). The fat in the emulsion becomes trapped in the composition during extrusion. In preferred embodiments, the extruded material is then dried and milled/ground to form flour-sized particulates.

  • Patent number: 11373003
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for mitigating inadvertent user information collection in telemetry data. In examples, user information is used to evaluate telemetry data associated prior to transmission to a server device. If an instance of user information is identified within the telemetry data, a warning indication is generated. The warning indication may be transmitted to the server device either instead of or in combination with the telemetry data. As a result of the warning indication, the software may be modified to resolve the issue that caused the introduction of the user information into the telemetry data, thereby avoiding future instances of inadvertent data collection. In response to the warning indication, the server may be configured to reject similar telemetry data from other devices, thereby avoiding collecting such data from the other devices.
