  • Publication number: 20230406602
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for storing, preserving or transporting consumables are provided. The apparatus includes a primary housing made of a durable, food-grade material, an insulating layer for maintaining the temperature of the stored consumables, and a plurality of compartments for separating different food items. The method of resting cooked meat within the apparatus involves applying tinfoil to the hot item, opening the Velcro flap on the outer body, unzipping the sides of the apparatus, placing the wrapped item into the storage portion, zipping up the sides, tucking the front portion into the inside portion, and closing the flap using Velcro straps. The rest time of the item placed inside the apparatus is determined based on the quantity and type of item. The apparatus provides a versatile solution for storing, transporting, and preserving consumables, such as meat, while maintaining their taste, aroma, temperature, and structure.

  • Patent number: 11202464
    Abstract: Systems, techniques and methods for estimating the metabolic state or flux, e.g., the body energy state (“BES”) of a patient, are disclosed. The BES provides deep insight into the nutritional needs of the patient, thus allowing for a sort of exquisite glycemic control with regard to the patient. The invention discloses systems and methods for estimating fractional gluconeogenesis, which is the % of glucose production that comes from gluconeogenesis (“GNG”), as opposed to glycogenolysis (“GLY”), the other form of glucose production. Nutritional formulations, materials, cocktails and methods for feeding patients by parenteral and other means are disclosed. The amount, type and rate of such nutritional feeding are typically based upon the above estimating. The invention discloses formulations that contain labels, such as deuterium, for medical diagnostics, such as for estimating BES and fractional gluconeogenesis.
