Patent number: 9003231Abstract: It is frequently difficult to generate multiple separate instances of a complex system. It is also difficult to restore the data state of these instances to a known state. Embodiments simplify the process by classifying the complex system under test in terms of its state components and service, by creating a new instance for testing, and by using copy-on write approaches to restore that new instance to the desired known state.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2012Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventor: Joseph Graves

Publication number: 20050042582Abstract: A nutrition planning system implemented in the form of an iterative algorithm that guides users to create a list of foods that matches a chosen set of nutritive standards. The algorithm builds a Nutrient Deficiency/Surplus Profile (NDSP), which is then compared against each food in a list of favorites. The result is a score for each food, which is used to guide a user, or an automatic algorithm to the appropriate choices. The algorithm continues until the desired level of compliance has been reached.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2004Publication date: February 24, 2005Inventor: Joseph Graves
