Abstract: A method for performing a vehicle diagnostic process for diagnosing, scanning and/or programming a vehicle includes recording a diagnostic message from a diagnostic computer device to generate a recorded diagnostic message, transmitting the recorded diagnostic message to a local computer at a repair facility, with the diagnostic computer device being located remotely from the repair facility, and playing the recorded diagnostic message at the local computer for delivery via an interface device to an electronic system of a vehicle. The method then further includes recording with the local computer a vehicle message from the electronic system of the vehicle to generate a recorded vehicle message in response to playing the recorded diagnostic message, and transmitting the recorded vehicle message from the local computer to the diagnostic computer device.

Abstract: In one embodiment, this invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for oral administration consisting essentially of a gelatin at a concentration up to 5% by weight as a carrier, a solvent, and, as an active ingredient, a dopamine agonist. Alternatively, the invention relates to a composition that takes the form of a solid, unitary fast-dispersing dosage form comprised of a network of an active ingredient after and a water-soluble or water dispersible matrix forming agent or carrier which is inert towards the active ingredient after subliming solvent from the composition in the solid state. The dosage is designed to completely disintegrate within 1 to 30 seconds of being placed in the oral cavity. Compositions which further comprise an anti-emetic and/or an opioid antagonist are also provided herein.

Abstract: A fragmentation grenade comprises a quantity of high explosive (11) contained within a casing (12, 13) and means (29) for detonating the high explosive (11) so as to cause the casing (12, 13) to disintegrate into a plurality of high velocity fragments (13). The high explosive (11) and the casing (12, 13) are so configured that the fragments (13) are preferentially projected in one or more particular directions relative to the axis (X--X) of the casing (12, 13), and the grenade is provided with a self-righting mechanism (22), whereby the axis can automatically be placed in a desired orientation.

Abstract: An infant's bottle is provided with a valved cap adapted for quick and easy movement between open and closed positions. The valved cap includes a base member mounted by a threaded neck ring or the like over the mouth of a beverage container such as a baby bottle. The neck ring also retains a slide-fit valve sleeve on the base member for reciprocal motion between open and closed positions to respectively permit and prevent beverage flow from the bottle. A drinking mouthpiece such as a conventional nipple for infants or a ported spout for toddlers is mounted on the valve sleeve.

Abstract: A heated support stand is provided for supporting a stethoscope in a convenient and ready-to-use position. The support stand comprises a night light unit having a low wattage bulb disposed behind a protective shade, wherein the shade has a size and shape to receive and support the chestpiece of a stethoscope in close proximity to the bulb. The bulb radiates sufficient heat to warm the chestpiece to a comforable temperature compatible with a patient's body temperature, thus eliminating patient shock and/or discomfort caused by placement of a cold instrument onto the patient's body.

Abstract: A twin compartment squeeze bottle is made of plastic material so that the contents of the compartments can be expressed by manual squeezing of the compartments without having to invert the bottle. The compartments are integrally connected by a vertical web and each has its own upper neck outlet and individual cap. The bottom of the compartments are flat so that the bottle is self-standing.
