Umami taste is a foundational component of Asian cuisine. Reproducing the authentic umami flavour is a
challenge for chefs due to the complexity of this taste. The current way of determining umami taste is
nothing but tasting manually. Flavour mismatch and discrepancy may result in patron churn and decrease
in restaurant sales. Our device comprises both chemical-components-targeted sensors and AI-driven
system and is designed to upgrade marketing, food inspecting, and staff training. Nowadays, public
catering establishments and especially restaurants are an integral part of the appearance of any city and,
consequently, of any country. In Russia, the number of such establishments reaches 90,000, while in
Moscow there are more than 11,000. It would not be a big exaggeration to say that restaurants can be
found at every turn in the capital. For example, one statistical fact is indicative: more than 40% of all retail
space in the center of the capital is rented by cafes and restaurants. Such a prevalence of restaurants
may be easily explained. They play quite an important role in a person's life. In addition to satisfying
physiological nutritional needs, "going out" to a restaurant implies an important social function.
Restaurants are one of the few places where all the senses work, generating a general sense of
satisfaction. Restaurant business is developing rapidly from year to year. There is a serious competition
for visitors. It is this factor that forces top managers to think through not only the main strategy and style
of the restaurant's activities, but also the details that give the institution uniqueness. The trend towards
increasing the popularity of Asian cuisine has been maintained for years. The share of the Russian
restaurant market with an Asian concept, according to experts, is now about 10-15%. According to
Evgeny Lakotkin, the co-owner of the Japanese-style restaurant Subzero, the number of Asian-oriented
establishments will double in the near future. Fans of Asian cuisine note the special sophistication and
uniqueness of its dishes. It is believed now that a person distinguishes five tastes: the long-known sweet,
salty, sour and bitter, together with umami, discovered at the beginning of the XX century by Japanese
scientists, which is a fundamental component of Asian cuisine. At the beginning of the XXI century,
neurophysiologists described special receptors that respond to glutamic acid, which is responsible for the
"meat" (protein) taste. Knowing this, people can distinguish between different flavors, common, for
example, for parmesan, tomato juice and green peas — umami (savoriness of the dish). Despite the fact
that such sophistication at first glance seems only an undoubted asset, it creates a serious problem for
restaurants dealing with umami: the slightest inaccuracy can be detected by a visitor, and even for
experienced professionals, achieving the required ideal remains an "asterisk task". To date, the most
common (and in fact the only one used in practice) umami taste control tool is a taste test. This method is
subjective, which can negatively affect the reproduction of the taste set by the chef. It is also worth noting
here that the chef of the restaurant is not always available for testing the dish. The discrepancy between
the dishes served and expected can lead to reputation loss and patron churn. A simple example here is
serving an oversalted dish. In the case of, say, a particular batch of salt, the "taste problem" can be
eliminated by measuring the mass, then, for example, in the situation with nori seaweed, which are
necessary for the preparation of Japanese tonkotsu-ramen, the concentration of sodium inosinate — one
of the ingredients that determine the taste of umami — will vary greatly even within one package. A
separate aspect is the qualified training of restaurant staff. Now there is no quantitative confirmation of
the "correctness" of the reproduced taste, and, as a result, novice cooks need an average of 15–20 years
to learn the exact perception of the umami shade. The elaboration of a marketing strategy is a critical
aspect in the development of the restaurant business. Restaurateurs strive to create maximum
individuality — including original dishes. For an expanding restaurant chain, specifying the use of high
technologies in the kitchen for visitors can become a distinctive feature that significantly increases the
chance of success.

Minicore – innovative biologics with synbiotic, detoxifying and immunomodulatory properties for humans and animals
Problems: 1. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, 80% of feed additives are imported, there is an increase in the cost of feed, prices for feed additives by 30-100%, their deficit. At the same time, they help to increase the weight of the animal and improve immunity. In this regard, the production and implementation of Russian innovative technologies in the industry - domestic feed additives, including those with therapeutic and preventive action - is economically feasible and complies with the principles of implementing the import substitution strategy as the leading direction in the development of the agro-industrial and biomedical complex. 2. 70% of all antibiotics produced in the Russian Federation are used in animal husbandry, annually the volume of use of feed antibiotics grows by 40%. We get trace amounts of them from food products. And we are no longer talking about animals, but about people: we are developing resistance, and this is 25,000 deaths annually. In Russia, the Federal Law on Biological Safety and other acts have been approved aimed at limiting their use and replacing them primarily with probiotics, prebiotics and enzymes. It is necessary to change technological approaches here and now. The solution is Minicor biopreparations for animals - a regulator of the microbiota composition, the only domestic yeast-based product with high biological value, detoxifying and immunomodulating activity. The products are capable of stimulating the growth of indigenous microorganisms of the Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus genera by 1000 times, have detoxifying, antagonistic properties for representatives of the Escherichia, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Staphylococcus genera, contain beta-glucans that stimulate the animal's own immunity, give at least 15% more weight gain, maintain immunity, reduce the dose of antibiotics by 50% or allow you to refuse them, remove toxins at the level of activated carbon. Safety has been successfully proven in toxicological studies on laboratory animals in vivo in accordance with OFS.1.7.2.0001.15 "Safety of probiotics in in vivo tests". We have developed a unique 100% domestic, waste-free, innovative, cost-effective technology and a biopreparation-synbiotic based on a new selected yeast strain of complex action, and a new yeast strain-probiotic, a representative of the normal microflora of animals, has been selected. The technology allows to reduce energy costs by at least 2 times, to use agricultural waste. The technologies are protected by 3 patents of the Russian Federation. The technology is much more economically advantageous due to the use of the entire yeast biomass with the substrate, without the stages of separation, multi-stage filtration, concentration, which allows to obtain a complex effect and significantly reduce the cost of the technology.
Kids are not diagnosed with dyslexia until the 3rd grade. But research has shown that reading interventions are most successful at an early age. This is the dyslexia paradox. If you start the reading intervention at an early age, kids get reading skills as naturally as speaking ability. It’s crucial for people with risks of dyslexia. They can prevent reading issues. Due to early brain neuroplasticity (2 - 6 y.o.), the work of non-functioning areas of the brain is being taken over by neighboring areas. The Reading Simulator is an app for kids that teach reading and prevent reading issues affected by dyslexia. It's based on the Phonics approach (the only proven for dyslexics) with fine motor skills engagement to improve learning and track focus. It's available from the age of 2 and kids can get all the benefits of early brain neuroplasticity.

One of the most significant challenges in managing a marine container terminal is ensuring optimal utilization of warehouse space while maintaining high throughput of containers processed at different cargo fronts. The usual management process is as follows: a terminal specialist makes decisions on where to place each container based on a complex system of rules influenced by over 50 different factors. After making a decision, the specialist records the decision in the terminal operating system, providing further instructions for terminal equipment operators. Analysis of data from the Terminal Operating System has shown that up to 40% of movements are unproductive when a person is responsible for distributing containers in the work area. As an example of such movements - if it is necessary to move a container from its original warehouse location to the railway or inspection area, other containers may need to be moved, blocking access. The module for terminal operation optimization driven by AI-models was designed to predict decisions about placing a container in a terminal work area in order to reduce the number of unnecessary movements and, thereby, increase cargo turnover at the terminal. The project was initiated by Commercial Port of Vladivostok, the largest stevedoring company in Russia, and is being developed and implemented jointly by the IT department of the FESCO Transport Group (the owner of the port), Sber, and the Far Eastern AI Center of Far Eastern Federal University.
