Abstract: In variants, a method for analog product determination can include: determining functional property feature values for a target and determining variable values for a prototype based on the functional property feature values for the target.

Abstract: In variants, the method for determining a sample recommendation can include: determining characteristic values for a sample, determining target characteristic values, determining a similarity score for the sample based on the characteristic values for the sample and the target characteristic values, training a prediction model, and determining a sample recommendation.

Abstract: In variants, a method for sensory characterization can include: determining attributes for a sample, collecting sensory data for the sample, determining a sensory characterization model, training the sensory characterization model based on the attributes and the sensory data, determining attributes for a test sample, and predicting a sensory characterization for the test sample using the sensory characterization model.

Abstract: In variants, the method can include: determining a set of fermentation parameters; determining a set of features associated with the set of fermentation parameters; and determining a set of product attributes associated with the set of features. In examples, the method can optionally predict the attributes of a product manufactured using the set of fermentation parameters and/or predict the set of fermentation parameters that would create or replicate the attributes of a target product.

Abstract: A micropump implantable in an eye is presented. In some aspects, the micropump includes a ferromagnetic member, a power source, and a motor coil magnetically coupled to the ferromagnetic member and electrically coupled to the power source to receive power from the power source. The motor coil is configured to generate a magnetic field in the ferromagnetic member when power is applied to the motor coil by the power source. In some embodiments, a hermetically sealed housing encloses the motor coil and the power source and partially encloses the ferromagnetic member. The micropump further includes a pump diaphragm and a compression chamber. The micropump further includes an armature configured to move in response to the magnetic field in the ferromagnetic member and a plunger configured to cause fluid to flow through the compression chamber from an inlet to an outlet.
