Title: Hierarchical, multilevel, expand and collapse navigation aid for hierarchical structures
Inventor: GARDNER DOUGLAS L
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 2004-09-14
Granted: 2012-06-05
Abstract: A software utility navigation aid for hierarchical structures such as file managers, taxonomies, or tables of contents that displays a dynamic menu when the mouse cursor is hovered over an activator used to swap the expanded/collapsed state of a node displayed in a hierarchical structure. The menu contains entries that identify in which display level of expansion the node resides based on the structure's fully collapsed condition (from the root node), the number of display levels to which this branch of the hierarchy can be expanded, and the number of nodes that will be exposed when this branch is expanded to each of those levels. Each displayed entry in this menu, positioned both below and above the identified node , can be clicked to cause the hierarchical structure to expand or collapse to that display level.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining the end of a service step and the duration of a brine/slow rinse step in a water conditioner having a bed of ion-exchange material. A sensor probe and a reference probe are positioned in the bed of ion-exchange material vertically displaced from each other. Voltage from each of the probes are monitored over a plurality of time intervals. When the percent increase in the impedance ratio exceeds a pre-specified value the end of a service step is identified and a regeneration cycle is initiated. During the regeneration step, the rate of change in the impedance ratio of the sensor probe to the reference probe is calculated and used to detect two peaks in the rate of change of impedance ratio between the sensor probe and the reference probe, followed by terminating the brine/slow rinse step after both peaks have been detected.

Abstract: Even when being released in a region from a lower small intestine to a large intestine with various coatings, bisacodyl is inadequately effective because of its hardness to dissolve due to its poor solubility, and thus a more drug should be contained. In the related art, there have been no techniques for allowing bisacodyl and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate to be simultaneously released in a region from a lower small intestine to a large intestine. A solid formulation having a core particle containing bisacodyl and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate coated with an enteric coating which allows the drugs to be released in a region from a lower small intestine to a large intestine can be used as an excellent pharmaceutical product .
