Inhaling Chocolate

French chef Thierry Marx and Harvard professor of biomedical engineering David Edwards have invented a way to consume chocolate without calories. Le Whif is an aerosol inhaler that provides a puff of fine chocolate powder every time you get the cocoa urge. Each inhaler contains about 200 milligrams of chocolate powder, less than 1 calorie of chocolate, with four puffs per container.

To use, you place the device between your lips and inhale and the particles land on your tongue and the sides of your mouth, where you can taste them best. When you eat a chocolate bar, in contrast, much of the chocolate passes quickly through your mouth without spending much time on your taste buds. Le Whif allows you to inhale and savor. It comes in chocolate, chocolate mint and chocolate raspberry.

I had a test sample of this last spring. The first whiff: verrry chocolate-y, triggering all the senses except the mouth-feel. After 5 or 6 whiffs, all gone. Dunno what they are selling them for, but it was fun. Completely harmless, I was told.

its a distance measuring device. you guide the wheel along a surface and count the numbers of turns made. if you know the wheel circumference, you can calculate the distance

I agree with a throttle guage for either a boat or train.

But, I could be wrong. It definitely bears a strong resemblance to a device used for determining the amount of bananas needed. Or it is in fact a banana.

Okay, water control valve. The only thing I could find associated with Moore and Kling had to do with water works.

But it still might be a banana.

It's obviously a tool/device used to open, measure, control or select the very items that are passed though, counted, dispensed and monitored by various individuals, machines, and observers of both human and electrical origin. It's an incredibly rare item that can be found in great abundance throughout several vast regions within a specific locale or expansive geographic area.

The letters look as though they're raised, could it be a device to create numbered buttons of a sort? kinda like how the "seals" were made in older times, using wax... or how the old Mints made coins...?

Well considering that moore and kling inc. is a water utilities company in Mass. It is more than likely a device to regulate the flow of water through a pipe. the lever starts vertically, then can be rotated clockwise all the way around back to vertical for 100 % flow rate.

I think it's a water flow control that measures GPM or Thousands of GPM through a valve. The company is or was in the water metering business for years.
