Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums, consistent with principles of some embodiments of the present invention provide for managing product purchase information including receiving a list of a plurality of products to purchase at a personal computing device, wherein the list includes an indication representing whether the plurality of products have been selected for purchase, updating the list with an indication that at least one of the plurality of products has been selected for purchase when the personal computing device receives information that the one of the plurality of products has been selected, updating the list by adding at least one new product, representing ingredients of a recipe, to the list when the personal computing device receives input that the recipe has been selected; and displaying the updated list.

Abstract: Regimens for the therapeutic or prophylactic administration of pulmonary surfactant to infants exhibiting or at risk of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for creating a software image for subsequent installation on a target computer system. These systems and methods may include hardware and steps for creating an image of software on a source computer; transferring the image to a recipient computer; installing the imaged software the recipient computer; updating the hardware abstraction layer on the recipient computer to a required version; imaging the software on the recipient computer with the required hardware abstraction layer; and installing the image of the recipient computer on a target computer system.

Abstract: The inventive tool has two elongated tongs pivoted together at corresponding ends, to have the remote tong ends gapped apart when opened and touching when closed. A spring biases the tongs to opened positions, and stops center the tongs when fully opened. A flexible tong line is connected at its ends to intermediate locations of the respective tongs and is routed as three separated spans crossing between the tongs; two tong line spans crossing from the end connections and the third or intermediate tong line span crossing closer to the pivoted ends. A flexible pull line is secured to the intermediate tong line span. With the tool carried on an extension pole, an operator can position the tong ends and tension the pull line to grip remote objects, such as gripping and removing Leaves from an overhead gutter.

Abstract: In a data communication network, a system for protecting parts of the network. The system comprises a plurality of user nodes linked together within the network. Each user node comprises means for transmitting list indicating to other nodes in the network the identification of allowed senders and receivers; and two or more security nodes within the network; each security node detects transmission and relays each signal only to the recipients specified in the list.

Abstract: Angiotensin II receptor antagonists are useful for decreasing QT dispersion or inhibiting the progression of QT prolongation in patients. Also disclosed is a method for monitoring the reduction in die risk of experiencing an adverse cardiac event, such as sudden cardiac death, myocardial infarction or arrhythmias, using QT dispersion in patients treated with a therapeutically effective amount of an angiotensin II antagonist.

Abstract: Angiotensin II receptor antagonists are useful in reducing and preventing mortality and sudden cardiac death in symptomatic heart failure patients. Losartan potassium has been shown to reduce mortality and sudden cardiac death in this patient population. Additionally, losartan potassium has been shown to reduce the need for hospitalization of symptomatic heart failure patients.

Abstract: A method and apparatus in a computer system selectively stores CPU state related information in parallel in a first and a second set of registers. The two sets of registers can selectively transfer data in parallel therebetween to restore the CPU state related information used by the CPU. The second set of registers cm be organized in a cascaded structure or in selective banks of registers to keep track of multiple CPU state related information such as during nested interrupts. The second set of registers can tansfer data with a third data storage device asynchronously to the operation of the CPU.

Abstract: In a communication network comprising at least one communication medium and a plurality of nodes, each node having a unique identifier associated therewith that is transmitted as part of each message transmitted by said node, a method for transmitting signals includes the following steps performed at a first node:(a) determining that a message is to be sent;(b) determining whether the communication medium is available for transmission of the message;(c) determining whether at least a second node is also attempting to transmit during a time period;(d) if at least a second node is also attempting to transmit during the time period, comparing the unique identifier of the first node with the unique identifier for the second node;(e) determining a transmission priority order based on said comparison; and(f) waiting for the second node to finish transmitting in the case that the second node has a higher priority than the first node.
