Abstract: System and method for enabling accurate spoilage monitoring of a liquid food product or the like from the moment it is created, until the time it is either consumed or needs to be discarded. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a container for the food product, or a device to be attached to a container, is equipped with a switch, thermometer, other environmental sensors, controller and alarm. The switch is activated automatically or manually at the moment when the liquid food product is created, and then the temperature and other environmental parameters of the food product are monitored during the subsequent course of time, all the while keeping track of the temperature history of the product throughout the period, until the controller calculates that the maximum safe period has expired; whereupon an alarm is activated to warn the user to discard the product.

Abstract: A method for providing access to an electronic database for business intelligence is provided. The method includes receiving a request to create a new universe to interface with the electronic database to access the electronic database for business intelligence, receiving an input of a first set of universe details to populate the new universe, executing at least a first application macro to populate the new universe with the received first set of universe details by calling a business intelligence application to create the new universe with the populated first set of universe details; and providing the created new universe as a metadata layer that interfaces with the electronic database to provide access to the electronic database.
