Abstract: A method includes: receiving a baseline food formula defining a baseline set of ingredients for a product; receiving a query for a target ingredient; accessing a baseline sensory profile of the baseline food formula; identifying the target ingredient analogous to a first ingredient, in the baseline set of ingredients, in a database; identifying a first process linking the target ingredient and the first ingredient in the database; exchanging the first ingredient with the target ingredient to generate a first food formula for the product; revising the first food formula with the first process; predicting a first sensory profile of the first food formula for the product based on sensory attributes associated with the target ingredient and the baseline set of ingredients; and, in response to the first sensory profile approximating the baseline sensory profile, serving the first food formula for the product to a user.

Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes relating to intelligent variable resistance exercise equipment such as a weight lifting machine or weight training apparatus. In one example, a system includes a magnetic resistance mechanism that applies and varies magnetic resistance corresponding to gravity based weight resistance for a user performing a weight training exercise. The equipment may include data storage that maintains exercise profiles and a processor that adjusts the amount of gravity based weight resistance based on a profile identified for the user.
