Abstract: A method for operating a household appliance uses a computer that is communicatively connectable to the household appliance or is part of the household appliance. The household appliance includes a memory containing a control program and at least one appliance program executable by the control program, and a processing unit configured to execute the control program. The computer is communicatively connectable to the Internet and includes a computer program configured to exchange data between the household appliance and a database available on the Internet. At least one appliance program available in the database is selected using the computer under control of the computer program, is transmitted to the computer and is transferred into the memory of the household appliance from the computer.

Abstract: A method for operating a household appliance includes detecting an identifier of the household appliance with a mobile device having a data collector, where the household appliance has a memory containing a control program and at least one appliance program executable by the control program and a processing unit configured to execute the control program. A database that is accessible on the internet is accessed using the identifier and the mobile device. At least one appliance program is selected and transmitted to the mobile device. The at least one appliance program is transferred to the memory of the household appliance.

Abstract: A therapeutic formulation in the form of a beadlet, suitable for oral administration and adapted to provide immediate and sustained release of therapeutic material. Each beadlet comprises an extruded-spheronized inner core containing at least one medicament e.g. a slow release vitamin, an outer layer containing at least one medicament e.g. a fast release vitamin and a controlled release coating between the inner core and the outer layer which coating controls the release of the inner core medicament.
