Abstract: There is provided a toy including a processor; a memory coupled to said processor; an output coupled to said processor; and means for establishing a network connection with at least one further such toy, where the processor includes means for controlling the output of each toy with which a network connection has been established. Furthermore, the controlling means is adapted to transmit, over said network connection, instructions to control a plurality of the outputs (preferably all of the outputs) of each toy with which a network connection has been established.

Abstract: There is provided a toy comprising: a processor (200); a memory coupled to said processor (202); an output (210) coupled to said processor; and means (212) for establishing a network connection with at least one further such toy; wherein the processor includes means for controlling the output of each toy with which a network connection has been established. Furthermore, the controlling means is adapted to transmit, over said network connection, instructions to control a plurality of the outputs (preferably all of the outputs) of each toy with which a network connection has been established.

Abstract: A system to provide access to information related to an audio or video signal being distributed to a multiplicity of people at a given time includes a watermarking arrangement for inserting identification codes into the audio or video signal before or at the time of distribution, the codes consisting of information identifying the time of distribution and the identity of the distributor, a reader for reading the identification codes and associating a block of data stored in a data store with the identification codes, and a communicator, such as, a mobile phone for one or more person who has received the audio or video signal to access the block of data using either the identification codes or the identity of the distributor and the time of distribution.

Abstract: A stable, water-thin emulsion is formed by processing a crude emulsion through a high pressure homogenizer at a pressure of about 900 to about 1100 bar. This emulsion contains low levels of emulsifier and contains no post addition stabilizers.
