Abstract: A system and method for controlling the dispensing of a fluid is disclosed, wherein the following capabilities may be provided: (a) regulation of the times that such dispensing can occur, (b) determination of the quality of the fluid so that, e.g., poor quality fluids can be purged, and/or (c) control of the system remotely. The system and method of the invention may be used for the dispensing of fluids such as beer and other beverages. A valve assembly in a fluid dispensing line can be configured to dispense the fluid, re-route the line contents so that it is purged when the quality of the fluid therein is determined to be unacceptable, or stop all flow of the fluid through the line. Quality detectors are provided for detecting the quality of the fluid being dispensed. For the dispensing of beer, an optical foam detector is disclosed as one such quality detector for detecting and purging a beer dispensing line when the line is substantially foam rather than beer.

Abstract: Novel dosing regimens of resiquimod formulations are disclosed for delaying recurrence of herpetic lesions in patients affected with a herpes virus infection. Preferably, dosing regimens include administering a pharmaceutical formulation containing resiquimod to a herpetic lesion once a week for at least one week.

Abstract: A typewriter has a Keyboard (12), including a Tab Set Key (22), a Tab Clear Key (24), and a Tab Actuating Key (26). Operation of the tab set key stores stop positions of the Carrier (18) with respect to the typewriter's Platen (14). Shallow depression of the tab actuating key causes the carrier to move forward (right) to the next tab stop position. A first deep depression of the tab actuating key establishes a Reverse Tab Mode causing the carrier to move backward (left) to the nearest preceding tab stop position and causing the platen to rotate (index) so as to position the Printing Element (16) one line down on the paper, thereby to facilitate typing the next line of single column material without effecting a carrier return and forward movement of the carrier to the beginning of the column.

Abstract: An electronic typewriter comprising keys 12a and an electronic control system 26 for causing a print wheel 16 to print corresponding characters at successive horizontal positions. A register 86B stores and continuously updates its storage of the last plurality of characters printed. When an error is made, the typist can backspace to the error, automatically recall the incorrect character from the register and erase it by restriking that character via a correction ribbon 28. Actuating a halfspace mode key 24 advances the print wheel's horizontal position by one-half the ordinary space, thereby moving out of normal registration to permit inserting extra characters. Upon such actuation of the halfspace key, the register's contents are cleared so that characters entered in normal registration cannot be used while the print wheel is in an offset location. Characters typed while in halfspace mode are stored in the usual manner.
