Abstract: The stall manager system controls food distribution and mealtimes in a given number of animal stalls arranged in stall lines. The system comprises a given number of electronically controllable feeding devices mounted in the animal stalls, which are controlled by a stall manager module for each one of the animal stalls. A central computer unit manages food distribution and mealtimes relative to the feeding devices in the animal stalls. The central computer unit has communication resources for addressing selective command messages to the stall manager modules to accomplish the management. The stall manager modules are connected in series, and are each provided with a repeater circuit for relaying data between the central computer unit and the next stall manager module in line.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel pharmaceutical composition for the preparation of effervescent powders or tablets incorporating ibuprofen or one of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts as the active ingredient. This composition comprises an effective amount of ibuprofen or one of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts; a pharmaceutically acceptable effervescent system comprising at least one alkali metal carbonate and at least one organic acid, preferably in a sufficient amount to give a pH below about 8; and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable antioxidant in a sufficient amount to stabilize the ibuprofen. This composition has a remarkable stability both in powder form and in tablet form.
