Abstract: A number of domestic audio/video apparatuses (10-14) are connected to a serial control bus (D2B, 16). Each apparatus is addressable via the bus as a device and contains functional elements addressable on subdevices. One apparatus (14) includes an on-screen display subdevice (41) and a first control subdevice (24). Subdevice status messages are defined whereby a control subdevice can ask to be informed of the status of a further subdevice (e.g. 26), and in particular to be informed automatically of any change in status without the need for continuous polling of subdevices. The subdevice status messages can be used to obtain early confirmation of a signal path being established through the system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An antiplaque oral composition, such as a toothpaste, gel dentifrice, tooth powder, mouthrinse or mouthwash, tooth hardener, anticalculus composition, gum or lozenge, comprises triclosan as an antiplaque component, the antiplaque action of which is unexpectedly and beneficially increased by the presence in the oral composition of a phenolic flavouring agent, such as eucalyptol, thymol, methyl salicylate, menthol, phenol, halogenated derivatives thereof, and mixtures thereof. Preferred such compositions are toothpastes, gel dentifrices and mouthrinses or mouthwashes. Also within the invention are processes of repeatedly applying such antiplaque oral compositions to the teeth to obtain the antiplaque benefits mentioned.

Abstract: A high angle light scattering detector using classical Rayleigh scattering. A high intensity arc light source, filtered to leave only one wavelength illuminates a flow cell. Through the flow cell, very small particles such as biological proteins flow in solution after separation by HPLC or some other means. A UV detector generates data regarding the weight concentration of the eluting particles and a scattered light detector collecting scattered light at angles of approximately 90 DEG  generates a scattered light signal. The incident light intensity is also measured. The average molecular weight is then computed using the scattered and incident light data the weight concentration data and a simplified mathematical relationship from which the size factor P and the viral coefficients have been eliminated.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for logging status information of a printer using an interactive network board coupled between the printer and a Local Area Network, includes the use of a Small Computer Systems Interface coupled to the board and having a data channel and a status channel, for transmitting print data to the printer over the data channel, transmitting printer status requests to the printer and receiving printer status data from the printer over the status channel. A memory is coupled to the board and is used for storing the received printer status data. A processor is also coupled to the board for adding beginning and end of print job indicia to the print data prior to transmission to the printer, and for causing the printer status requests to be transmitted to and received from the printer at a first predetermined interval (e.g. every minute). Furthermore, the processor calculates, at a second predetermined interval (e.g. daily) printer status statistics based on the received printer status data and the beginning and end of job indicia. Finally, the processor stores the calculated printer status statistics in the memory. Preferably, the calculated printer status statistics are then stored in a non-volatile memory in the printer and can be accessed at a later date from a remote location. Also, it is preferable if the printer status statistics are provided at a plurality of levels of resolution, the levels being selectable from the remote location. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dispenser aids and monitors regimen-conforming use of medications provided in blister packages. A blister package and a separate, disposable sensor sheet (148) are loaded into a compact housing containing supervisory electronics (350), visual indicatos (392, 393, 394) and an audible alarm (396). The sensor sheet (148) consists of sensing regions (310) corresponding to each individual compartment of the blister package. A connector (318) in the dispenser housing allows periodic scanning of the sensor sheet circuitry by the control circuitry (350) without adding connector components ot the low cost, disposable sensor sheet (148). When a medication is ejected through the blister package, a parameter associated with a corresponding region of the sensor sheet (148) is altered, thereby permitting the control circuitry (350) to monitor the dispensing event. Stored patient compliance data may then be reported remotely through an interface (352, 354) between the dispenser and an external system for review by the pharmacist/physician.
