Abstract: A cloud-based application generates food product recommendations in support of medical nutritional therapy. The recommendations are calculated based on at least one patient-specific nutritional prescription and extended ingredient data that identifies food product ingredients or nutritional calculations that do not appear on packaging labels. The patient-specific nutritional prescription is calculated based on a patient profile and at least one nutritional prescription template. The recommendations may be used to perform a pantry makeover in which harmful food products are removed from household food storage and beneficial food products are added to household food storage. Recommendations may be calculated in real-time for food products that are identified during food shopping. Less harmful alternative food products are identified and suggested.

Abstract: In a system and method for performing message-based business processes among a plurality of applications, configuration data is stored in a data store in a gateway, the configuration data including information defining one or more simple transactions that can be performed by the gateway. A gateway message is received at the gateway, the gateway message including a gateway message header and a payload, the gateway message header including a routing slip block providing a template of a complex transaction in which the gateway message is participating, the complex transaction comprising one or more simple transactions performed in a defined order. The gateway executes at least one simple transaction in accordance with the template in the routing slip and the configuration data defining the one or more simple transactions.

Abstract: In a system and method for accessing messages in a data store in a gateway, a data frame request, which is a structured SQL query, is received at the gateway.

A data frame is generated that comprises messages from the data store that are responsive to the received data frame request, the data frame having a format that is readable by a character editor.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide for low cost hearing assistance to improve intelligible hearing for those with normal hearing and to greatly improve hearing intelligibility for those with hearing problems. One goal of the systems and methods disclosed herein is to make hearing assistance algorithms easily accessible and available by implementing such algorithms using non-dedicated hardware platforms such as non-dedicated mobile computing devices, e.g., smartphones, PDA's and the like. In exemplary embodiments, the systems and method of the present disclosure integrate hearing assistance algorithms with multi-media algorithms in an API stack (similar to the implementation of audio effects such as stereo widening and psychoacoustic bass enhancement) thereby addressing processing delay concerns.
