  • Publication number: 20230210141
    Abstract: A beverage is a drinkable liquid. Described here is a beverage containing a cooling agent that will exert cooling sensations in the upper center of the chest and make a subject feel comfortable. The cooling agent is an agent that targets TRPM8 receptors on nerve cell membranes. The beverage can be imbibed without unpleasant taste and the goal is to make the whole body feel cooler for about 20 min or more after drinking. By choosing the right molecule and right concentration, cooling intensity, location, and duration in the chest is controlled. Surprisingly, the cooling agent was also effective when consumed with warm or hot beverages. The beverage contains selected 1-diisopropyl-phosphinoyl-alkanes and taste-modulating agents selected from sweeteners, extracts from hops, ginger, or cinchona. Various uses of this cooling beverage are proposed.

  • Publication number: 20230210144
    Abstract: Provided herein are techniques, devices, and systems for determining the safety of an ingestible product with respect to a contaminant as the ingestible product is being processed. A computing system may receive data associated with processing of an ingestible product. Based on the data, and using a model, the computing system may determine a value associated with the ingestible product with respect to a target contaminant. Based on the value, the ingestible product can be classified as a class label indicative of a safety of the ingestible product with respect to the contaminant, such as a classification of “safe” or “unsafe.” In some examples, a reduction of a contaminant in an ingestible product is dynamically monitored, in real-time, as the ingestible product is being processed.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to vaporizing devices having short-circuit and leak proof capabilities. Specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure provide vaporizing devices including an atomizer wrapped with a non-woven wick and received by a distal cavity in a center post. The non-woven wick is in fluid communication with a reservoir, placing the atomizer also in fluid communication with the reservoir. Fluid travels from the reservoir, through the wick, to the atomizer to be atomized, and vaporized fluid can be pulled proximally out of the vaporizing device. A clearance of approximately 1.0 to 2.5 mm separates a top surface of the atomizer from a top surface of the distal cavity. The vaporizing devices additionally include an electrode (e.g., an anode) in electrical communication with an anode wire of the atomizer. An insulating sleeve maintains the position of the anode wire against the electrode, allowing for good electrical conductivity and communication.
