    摘要: A consumable order assistance system is provided for computer peripheral devices. The system includes a personal computer, at least one computer peripheral device, a communication link, and a consumable order assistance computer program. The personal computer has a web browser and a messaging system. The at least one computer peripheral device has a messaging system. The communication link signal couples the personal computer with a provider of a consumable for the computer peripheral device via the web browser. The consumable order assistance computer program is provided on the personal computer and is configured to receive a notification from the computer peripheral device via the messaging system of a need to order a consumable, alert a user of the personal computer of the notification, and provide an order location to the user for the consumable. A method is also provided.

    摘要: A scale is provided, the scale including a cavity having a resonant frequency which is alterable with variations in mass of a load applied to the cavity. The scale also typically includes a comparator operatively coupled with the cavity to detect actual resonant frequency under the load, to compare such actual resonant frequency with a reference resonant frequency, and to produce a difference signal indicative of mass of the load.

    摘要: A computer is provided that monitors one or more printers over a network in order to determine when new components in each of the printers should be replaced. Each time a printer prints a document, the printer sends a signal to the computer. The computer responds by querying the printer to determine if a components in the printer should be replaced. In addition, each printer is configured to transmit a message to the printer indicating that the component should be replaced. If the computer determines that a component should be replaced, the computer can automatically transmit an order for a new component to a vendor.
