Abstract: Methods of network operation are disclosed herein that may reduce congestion on a network. The methods of network operation may include the steps of communicating data between a network and several clients and placing each client of the several clients in VoIP communication with the network. The methods of network operation may include the step of tagging data being communicated by each client with the network with a Quality of Service (QoS) level, and the step of setting the QoS level for each client. The methods of network operation may include the step of reducing congestion of the network by controlling a quantity of data being communicated by each client with the network.

Abstract: A method centrally controls communication at a single venue. A central communications point with a moderator is provided. User information, at least at the venue, is provided to users for transmitting electronic signals to the central communication point. The moderator enables at least one electronic communication transmission from a user who has access to the central communication point to have at least part of the transmission broadcast at the venue or allow open communication from the user to be broadcast at the venue.

Abstract: A comprehensive system (10) for the growing, analyzing, storing, validating and distributing of cells or tissues for a variety of purposes, in which the comprehensive system (10) generally uses a macrocontainer (12) for each of the steps from beginning to end. The macrocontainer (12) may include a number of elements, an essential one of which is the primary container (14). In every case, the primary container (14) includes a biosensor and a data registry device (15) (usually a microchip) to record and to display the handling history of the primary container (14) throughout the implementation of the system (10). The macrocontainer (14) provides process control, sterility and a matrix within and around which associated inlets, outlets and data lines may be coordinated.

Abstract: A self-administrable anti-fertility composition comprising a progestational compound in an amount effective for alteration of cervical mucus secretions in a manner unfavorable to fertility without systemic absorption and a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle. A typical composition is a foamable aqueous emulsion containing an anionic surfactant, propylene glycol and an amount of progesterone effective to provide a dose of from about 10 micrograms to about 5 milligrams. The composition may be foamed by dispensing with a syringe or by dispensing from an aerosol container.
