Abstract: A method for building a language for a knowledge base correspondingly to the observation of facts in the world includes describing by a user a world representation by building an ontology, translating the description into restrictions corresponding to the user's prescriptions, observing errors between objects and actions present in an environment and in the prescriptions, and adapting the ontology or the system behaviour in such a way that the errors are moved off.

Abstract: A fluid dispenser device comprising: a body (10); an elongate flexible strip (20) supporting a plurality of reservoirs (21), each containing a dose of fluid or powder; reservoir-opening means (30) for opening a respective reservoir on each actuation; and displacement means (40) for displacing said flexible strip (20) before and/or during and/or after each actuation, so as to bring a full reservoir into register with said reservoir-opening means, the leading end (25) of said flexible strip (20), in the displacement direction of said strip, rolling up around a receiver element (50) that does not turn relative to said body (10).
