Abstract: A handcuffs assist device. The device includes a housing including a shaft. The housing includes one or more pulley wheels positioned about the shaft and coupled to a first end of one or more handcuff cables. A second end of the handcuff cables is coupled to one or more handcuffs. The housing includes a ratcheting mechanism having a sprocket wheel positioned about the shaft and a locking bar coupled to the housing. The locking bar has a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. At least one of the shaft, the one or more pulley wheels and the sprocket wheel is configured to rotate about the shaft in a first direction and not in the second direction when the ratcheting mechanism is in a locked configuration.

Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product for determining a nutritional value of a food item are disclosed. In response to a query from a user, a calorie value of a food item based on a number of calories contained in the food item is determined. Saturated and/or unsaturated fat values of the food item are determined based on a saturated fat value and/or an unsaturated fat value of the food item. A determination of whether at least one vitamin and/or mineral is contained in the food item is made and at least one vitamin and/or mineral value for the food item is generated. A determination is made of whether at least one controversial ingredient is contained in the food item, and at least one controversial ingredient value for the food item is generated. A nutritional value for the food item is generated.

Abstract: Computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for determining a nutritional health value of a food item are disclosed. The method includes receiving information about number of ingredients, controversial ingredients, nutrients and vitamins contained in the food item, assigning a predetermined weighting value to each nutrient contained in the food item. For each nutrient contained in the food item, the method determines a nutrient value based on a percentage of the nutrient contained in the food item and the weighting value of each nutrient contained in the food item. For each vitamin contained in the food item, the method determines a vitamin value based on a sum of percentages of all vitamins contained in the food item. The method further determining an ingredient value based on a total number of ingredients and a total number of controversial ingredients contained in the food item.

Abstract: A circuit produces a control signal which is input through a bi-directional communication device to a removable circuit. The removable circuit is set to a first logic state which is a function of the control signal and thereafter steps through a sequence of logic states with each logic state being a function of the previous logic state. The entire sequence of logic states is represented by a state signal or code word which is a function of the control signal. The produced state signal is compared to a predetermined stored state signal. Access is enabled in response to the production of a proper sequence of logic states, as indicated by the comparison of the produced state signal to the predetermined stored state signal. Security is improved because without knowledge of the control signal input to the removable circuit, an unauthorized user cannot ascertain the code word.
