Abstract: A method and system for student driver monitoring which includes configuring student and instructor devices. For each driving session, configuring at least one the student and instructor devices for pairing the devices; generating a driving session log; monitoring continued pairing of the devices; and uploading the driving session log to a driver training database. The method also includes enabling authorized access to the database to retrieve training information. Pairing the student and instructor devices requires the student and instructor devices to be within a limited range of one another, or in the same vehicle. Vehicle and camera information can be collected for the session log. A seat belt sensor system can indicate whether the student seatbelt is fastened. An unfastened student seatbelt can prevent pairing of the student and instructor devices. Pairing the student and instructor devices can include confirming authentication information.

Abstract: The present invention in the field of oligosaccharide production provides a method of producing oligosaccharides of useful lengths without producing substantial amounts of monosaccharides and disaccharides (illustrated by FIG. 1). There is provided a method for producing an ingredient suitable for incorporation into a foodstuff, cosmetic, or nutraceutical, said ingredient comprising one or more oligosaccharides, wherein the oligosaccharides are produced in an enzymatic reaction, said enzymatic reaction comprising the step of contacting, in a solution or suspension, a polysaccharide-cleaving enzyme and a polysaccharide-containing feedstock, wherein said enzymatic reaction produces substantially no monosaccharides or disaccharides.

Abstract: A separable bowl forming carton retains an inner package, wherein the separable bowl forming packaging is selectively separated into separate components which can be deformed along preset fold lines to define a bowl periphery having a greater number of facets than the sealed separable bowl forming carton.

Abstract: A thin generally rectangular package for containing a farinaceous product such as dry mixes, cereals and the like including a portion that is removable from the carton with out opening or destroying the integrity of the package. The removable portion is contained on a slide that is sandwiched between a flat side of the carton and a panel fixed to the flat side. The slide is tethered to the flat side by a portion of the panel arranged to buckle outward from the plane of the flat side when the slide is pulled from between the flat side and the panel.
