Conditioner with sensors for nutritional substances
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 and a target Δ
N;
a database including a set of conditioning protocols referenced to the type of nutritional substance, wherein each one of the set of conditioning protocols comprises different amounts of different types of conditioning, wherein each type of conditioning is associated with a different Δ
N;
a sensor configured to detect an attribute of the nutritional substance and output sensor data related to the attribute; and
a controller configured to select one of the set of the conditioning protocols and adjust the conditioning protocol based on the sensor data and the target Δ
N, output a modified conditioning protocol, and adapt operation of the conditioning system responsive to the modified conditioning protocol for the type of nutritional substance and the sensor data.
