摘要： A method of checking messages from a network of communication sources includes initially testing the signal strength of a plurality of communication sources, storing the identity of the communication sources with the two strongest signals, and alternatively entering a sleep mode and a wake-up mode, the wake-up mode synchronized to the communication source with the strongest signal. The method further includes testing the signal strength of one additional communication source, switching synchronization to the additional communication source if said source presents a signal stronger than the signal of a stored communication source with the strongest signal, and replacing the identity of any stored communication source if an additional communication sources tested in sequence presents a signal stronger than the signal of said stored communication source.

摘要： A hollow extension tube or extension assembly aids in increasing the quantity of any inhaled or aerosolized substance delivered to a patient's lungs from an inhaler or source. The length of the extension tube reduces the velocity and increases the temperature of the aerosolized substance, easing inhalation. The interior surface of the hollow extension tube has anti-static properties which reduces the amount of aerosolized substance trapped by the interior surface of the hollow extension tube. The interior surface of the extension tube may be formed of cardboard.
