Abstract: Compositions for use in oral hygiene contain a Lactobacillus helveticus strain. Compositions further containing a Lactobacillus plantarum strain, especially Lactobacillus plantarum SD5870, are particularly effective. The combination of Lactobacillus helveticus LAFTI L10 and Lactobacillus plantarum SD5870 synergistically improves oral hygiene. The compositions are particularly useful against dental caries.

Abstract: A method of allocating programmable memory in a network device includes receiving a set of desired features for the network device, and determining a plurality of constraints associated with the set of desired features. The plurality of constraints are converted into a plurality of Boolean representations of the constraints, and a feasibility is evaluated for the desired features based on the plurality of constraints.

Abstract: A method, computer program and system for performing a find and replace editing operation of a text starting from a couple of initial find and replace expressions provided by the user, applying each rule defining admissible inflected forms of the initial find expression and the initial replace expression, to the initial find and replace expressions to identify all the derived couples of find and replace expressions. The find expression and the replace expression of the derived couples correspond to inflected forms of the initial find and replace expressions. Then, for each match in the text of the find expression of the derived couples, proposing to the user the derived couples for replacement in the text.

The find expression and the replace expression of the derived couples correspond to inflected forms of the initial find and replace expressions. Then, for each match in the text of the find expression of the derived couples, proposing to the user the derived couples for replacement in the text. The user interface is done through the usual graphical user interface of a text editor or through a text based terminal user interface.

Abstract: A system and process for debugging of a computer program, is provided. One implementation includes a function configured for including mark-up information marking certain methods as special fields in a source code of the application program, such annotations denoting debugging instructions and indications of which methods are intended for debugging only; a processing module configured for generating a production version of the application program including the same semantics as the original application program but potentially fewer methods and no debug related annotations, wherein methods that are not annotated as debugging only methods are maintained; and a debugger configured for debugging purposes using the debugging methods.

Abstract: A process and system for debugging of a computer program, is provided. One implementation involves including mark-up information into source code of the application program, generating a debug-enabled version of the computer program including debugging methods based on the mark-up information, and providing the debug-enabled version of the program computer to a debugger for debugging purposes using the debugging methods.

Abstract: A method, computer program and system, which, given a set of Boolean state variables, a set of state transitions described as truth tables for the state variables, a set of initial states (that is states that objects happen to be in when they are brand new or when they are introduced into the system), all established by a natural modeling of the application domain, can derive an encoding that is provably isomorphic to the initial one but smaller, and transitions that match exactly the initial transitions but operating upon the new encoding, without incurring a significant time penalty. This effect is obtained by generating the extensive set of significant states, renumbering those states, then modifying the transitions implementation so as to use the renumbered states in place of the original ones.

Abstract: A process and system for interactive debugging of a computer program, is provided. One implementation involves providing a class for an object oriented computer program capable of executing on a computer system, the class having class methods defining a semantic field of the class; automatically monitoring the class during execution of the program, and leveraging said class methods by executing the class methods upon object-typed variables to obtain a pseudo-field value; and presenting the pseudo-field value along with fields of the said object-typed variables, on a user interface for debugging purposes.

Abstract: An electronic tuner for tuning a musical instrument has a tuner housing in which electronic circuitry for tuning the instrument is situated, and a multi-positional and multi-functional bracket which is reciprocatingly slidable and pivotally mounted on the tuner housing. The bracket is positionable in a closed position, where it rests closely against the tuner housing, as a stand, where it supports the electronic tuner in an upright or a slightly angled position, and in a position where the electronic tuner may be suspended from the musical instrument being tuned.
