First Claim
Patent Images
1. A dynamic conditioning system for nutritional substances comprising:
- an input panel, configured to receive input regarding a type of nutritional substance;
a database including various conditioning protocols for the nutritional substance, wherein the conditioning protocols each comprise a sequence of steps for conditioning the nutritional substance, and wherein each step comprises different conditioning parameters;
a probe temperature sensor configured to detect an internal temperature of the nutritional substance and output sensor data related to the internal temperature; and
a controller configured to adapt operation of the conditioning system responsive to at least one of the conditioning protocols for the nutritional substance and further configured to advance the conditioning protocol between steps based on the sensor data.

8. A dynamic conditioning system for conditioning nutritional substances comprising:
-
an input panel configured to receive information regarding a nutritional substance; an infrared temperature sensor positioned to sense a surface temperature of the nutritional substance and output sensor data; one or more conditioners; a database comprising a set conditioning protocols referenced to known nutritional substances, wherein each of the set of conditioning protocols comprise a sequence of steps for conditioning a referenced known nutritional substance, and wherein each step comprises different conditioning parameters for the one or more conditioners; a memory with machine executable code; a controller, comprising one or more processors, the one or more processors configured to execute the machine executable code to cause the processor to; receive, at the controller, a conditioning protocol from the database referenced to the nutritional substance; operating the conditioning parameters of the one more conditioners based on the conditioning protocol; and automatically advance, by the controller, the conditioning protocol between steps based on data output from the infrared temperature sensor. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
