Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for determining the nature of the relationships between on the one hand the data specific to a separate unit or group of units, and on the other hand the data of another unit or another group of distinct units belonging to the same set. This device comprises a transparent medium corresponding to each unit or group of units, each medium being ordered by means of an address system to which data specific to the unit or group of units corresponding to this medium are recorded. On any medium corresponding to a separate unit or group of units are recorded at any address corresponding to the data specific to the other units or group of separate units, one or more distinctive signs of each type of relationship between the data specific to the separate unit or groups of units corresponding to each medium and the data specific to the other units or groups of units in the set. In this way, the symbols can be read simultaneously by superimposing cards corresponding to the relationship to be determined.

Description

lO ~ S4t ~ t;
The present invention relates to a device for determination of the nature of the relationships between on the one hand the data specific to a separate unit or group of units, and on the other hand the data of another unit or another group separate units belonging to the same set, this arrangement tif including a transparent support corresponding to each unit or group of units, each support was ordered by means an address system to which the data is stored own ~ the unit or group of units corresponding to this medium characterized in that on any support corresponding to a separate unit or group of units are registered at any address corresponding to data specific to others separate units or group of units, one or more signs distinctive of each type of relationship between own data of the unit or groups of separate units corresponding to each medium and the data specific to the other units or groups of units in the set, so that we can simultaneously read symbols by superimposing corresponding cards ~ the relationship to be determined.
On each medium, distinctive signs to this data are saved at the addresses corresponding to the unit or group of units corresponding themselves to said support. To the other addresses the distinctive signs corresponding to the nature ; relationships between the data of said units or said groups of units on the one hand, and data from other units or group of whole units on the other hand, these distinctive signs tifs corresponding to what we will call in what follows dimensions, functions of the nature of the relationships materialized by the distinctive signs in coded form.
The present invention also relates to methods of using devices of the type described above and on similar for its implementation.
In this way, the present invention allows with a system t ~ me adre ~ sses ~ two dimensions that can be materialized or 10 ~ 54 ~ 6 not on the support and with a system of dimensions and codings a-dequats, to record data and natures of relations in an at least three-dimensional system.
In what follows and for simplicity we will consider substantially flat supports (cards, films, cards, sheets, bands, etc ...) on which an address system is located in two-dimensional Cartesian coordinates.
A person skilled in the art will be able easily, and without going outside the box.
of the invention, use the present invention with others coordinate systems (for example: polar) or location systems ~ for example: digital) of addresses of the recorded data.
For simplification also, we will limit ourselves in the first examples of a one-dimensional dimension system like in Monge's descriptive geometry, but it's easy for a person skilled in the art to extend to several dimensions and to imagine a coding allowing to materialize several dimensional systems dimension professionals as illustrated by the following examples:
On a card, for example, you can wear a series of sign9 having different forms based on a first dimensional series of dimensions and different colors in function of a second dimensional series of dimensions.
In what follows, we will call "element" the subset made up of the unit or group of units corresponding to each that support 'we will call "characteristics specific to the element"
data corresponding to the element itself and likely to be recorded on the support: these will be for example the constituents of the element such as the enumeration of units, in the hypothesis of a group, we will call "relationships or characteristics relational ticks "data corresponding to relationships between the characteristics or data specific to the corresponding element depending on a medium and its own characteristics or data to the other elements of the set (for example: interaction, patibility, incompatibility, negative or positive interference ~ `

10 ~ 548 ~;
between elements or units constituting the different elements), It is well known in the prior art to record on a support of any suitable type the references of the elements and their characteristics. The analytical comparison between sup-ports lets you know if the different features can agree when trying to establish which relationships can exist between different elements, for example if we are looking for or if on the contrary we want to avoid certain inter-actions, compatibilities, incompatibilities, positive interferences negative or any other type of relationship that may exist between the elements and their constituent units.
To take a simple example, when we realize a fluid circulation installation, it is necessary that the characteristics of the various elements assembled are compatible with each other ~ and do not have any incompatibilities.
We will look in particular for dimensional compatibilities for that the connections are carried out without difficulty, we will seek by against to avoid incompatibilities between constituent materials or between each of them and the fluids intended to circulate there asshole.
This results in operations which are often long and difficult to perform manually and very expensive when you want to use an automatic device. otherwise on current supports we generally work in pairs dimensions which does not allow data to be recorded in three dimensions or more.
For example, the most advanced systems your perforations still work now with a ventilation system two-dimensional dresses on the card and a perforation type unique for the same support allowing only a relative number-limited combinations and a recording capacity of data are insufficient for certain uses on the same support.

10 ~ 54 ~

Manufacturers of electronic calculators at very large capacity had to move to supports with a number of-consecrable dresses generally using supports that can only be implemented with the help of my-particularly expensive chines. However, in very many areas it is essential to quickly access data a number of addresses of the order of a thousand to ten thousand for example-ple on the same support which greatly exceeds the capacity of classic punch cards, but what's more when you need care to materialize odds even in small numbers from ten to one hundred, or even from two to ten, we face different problems.
easily soluble without investment in time or money compatible with the means or concerns of the user tor.
The only means that is used in this case requires on the part of the user a long and difficult comparative reading cile of files and comments giving rise to large numbers errors.
There are name card systems on the market.

important number of addresses, for example with perforations, making it possible to select from a set of cards all those a sign brought to the same address, for example those bearing a oblong hole at a determined point in a set of round holes regularly spaced according to a grid.
There are also optical means for classify photographic films forming cards with a grid of opaque or translucent boxes which allows sort all the cards with an opaque box or a transparent box lucid at a specific address on the card, but here again these - 30 systems do not allow going beyond two pieces of information by addresses (0 or 1, yes or no, translucent or opaque, etc ...).

If we want to increase the capacity of the cards, we are led to ~ 0 ~ 54 ~ 16 essentially manual operations requiring attention sustained and significant time.
In addition. in these earlier systems, the supports only have two-dimensional coordinate systems.
The present invention allows, co ~ no one said more top, to work with ordered supports using a sys-two-dimensional address teme and a dimension system at au minus one dimension. It not only allows the search for common characteristics of data, but also of all kinds of relational characteristics between data specific to the various elements of the same set. As it was said above and for simplicity, we will limit ourselves in the first three-dimensional examples with rec-tangular, to addresses in Cartesian coordinates, the dimensions being one-dimensional and corresponding to height or altitude of Monge if the supports constitute the horizontal reference plane zontal.
However, in the current state of things, most of the provisions sitif 9 used to compare supports to two di ~ ensions do may be suitable for comparing supports according to the invention tion which requires distinguishing marks of the same dimension brought to the same address in relation to the benchmarks of other dimensions brought to the same address.
In what follows, we will refer by way of example not limiting to a field of application where the present invention finds an interesting use. This is the problem of looking for positive or negative interference in the maine medical. If, for example, a doctor writes a prescription tion for a patient, it is necessary that the different medi-caments, in particular their constituents, are compatible with each other and with the patient himself, with his lifestyle, with its diet, with climatic or pro-10 ~; 54 ~ f ~

professional, etc ...
At present there is no practical means allowing the doctor to systematically check the which will allow him to carry out his verification precise, fast and efficient and without the use of a device-complex and expensive.
The present invention therefore essentially consists in wear on a support corresponding to each pharma-pharmaceutical or constituent of pharmaceutical specialty including each active substance, or corresponding to each family of pharmaceutical specialties, the different posi-tives or negatives as listed above.
It is therefore a question of first focusing on each sup-port, in conditions allowing to be easily found, the nature of interference from all other specialties or constituents of active substances, diets and other conditions of employment as indicated above.
This can be done, for example, by a system of geographic location of address on the support, for example a system classic teme of Cartesian coordinates, as mentioned above. It is then a question of matching each address is one of the other elements with which we can perform the com-parison and note the corresponding address by any means registration appropriate to the nature of the medium and the process employee, a sign materializing the nature of the interference between the element to which the card corresponds and the corresponding element at the benchmark considered.
It is possible to group, for example geographic-reference points corresponding to a family of elements so that, for example, we find the same interference on an easily identifiable area corresponding for example to the appears to be antibiotics or a family of food products : 10654 ~
res.
The user having all the corresponding supports dependent on all the elements, it extracts the supports corresponding to the elements whose characteristics he wants to compare ticks and by any suitable means such as those described above dessou3 i 'detects the signs of interference brought to the addresses corresponding to the various elements corresponding to the chosen supports siq and simultaneously interference with other conditions of use which can be worn without being subject to specific ports, for example if the user wants to manage trer to a patient of specialties A, B, C and D, he will leave by example from its collection supports corresponding to A, B, C or D themselves, their constituents or their active substances disturbed according to the family to which they belong.
By locating the addresses corresponding to the element worn on each none of the cards (A, B, C, D, their constituents or their substan-these active, etc ...) we compare with the signs of interference can be worn on the same benchmark of other sup-ports, which allows you to determine possible interference drugs between them, but you can also spot in other areas of support signs of interference with the na-ture of the patient (example: a diabetic, of such sex, of such age, weight), diet (example: absorption of cool), his living conditions (example: unfit for work in the or driving a car), weather conditions (example: living in tropical countries), other conditions (example:
time of taking medication, etc.).
Regarding the nature of the benchmarks, it is necessary that each address can be marked with different natures You are assigned a rating, each rating corresponding for example to a type of interference. The nature of the benchmarks before changing depending on the media, it is obvious that 10654 ~ 6 can distinguish them according to their very nature, we can aim to distinguish them by geometry or by characteristics physical ticks which can themselves be digital or analog gics and we can very well conceive the definition of a dimension by the measurement of a quantity linked to the reference (magnetic, optical, e-electric or other).
To better understand the technical characteristics the advantages of the present invention, we will describe them examples of embodiments, it being understood that these do not are not limiting as to their mode of implementation and to applications that can be made by referring to the following figures touts:
Figures 1 to 4 and 9 to 12 show co-signs dice according to the invention.
FIG. 5 represents a first embodiment of two supports according to the invention.
FIG. 6 represents an example of a coded symbol as follows:
before the invention.
And Figures 7 and 8 show a second mode of production of supports according to the invention corresponding to two pharmaceutical specialties chosen on a specific market.
EXAMPLE 1 - On rectangular material cards transparent, not extensible but possibly flexible, mine a grid in Cartesian coordinates, each point of which intersection can be considered an address. We do match a map and address to each specialty so that we can on a card corresponding to a given specialty born bear signs corresponding to information at other addresses tererences, either with other specialties at the addresses provided for this purpose, either with conditions of employment as listed above at other addresses provided accordingly.
Opaque signs or 1065 ~ W
translucent or colored, the shape of which will correspond to each of the ratings that we can materialize.
Figure 1 shows an enlarged series of such genes. For example, the sign 1 is that carried to the address cor-corresponding to the specialty corresponding to the menu.
The sign 2 will correspond for example to the dimension 1, the sign 3 at dimension 2 and so on.
Experience shows that we can easily distinguish a dozen signs such as 2, 3 or 4 made up of one part ring finger when superimposed on a sign such as 1, is place on the periphery of 1, lugs 6 projecting in relation to wearing rings. If the 12 pin positions are spaced 30, like the numbers on a clock face, we can distinguish easily position, for example in Figure 2, we find round of a sign such as 1, a number of superimposed annea ~
5 and lugs 2, 3, 7 and 8 corresponding to dimensions easily identifiable if, for example, as we said about the figure 1 lug 2 corresponds to dimension 1 (position 12 on a clock), lug 3 corresponds to dimension 2, lug 7 corresponds to dimension 4, lug 8 at dimension 9.
When the practitioner chooses from his collection of buses those corresponding for example to four specialties that wish to prescribe, at the four addresses corresponding to the four specialties will appear signs such as 1 possibly surrounded by rings with one or more lugs, which more is, if the rings and lugs are colored they are even more fa-cleverly identifiable, it is conceded that with twelve posi-lugs and 8 or 9 different colors we could even significantly increase the number of possible ratings that can be materialized at the same address.
If we also provide cards corresponding to different characteristics of the subject (man, woman, 20 to 30 years old, pregnant woman, woman prone to certain allergies, man 10 ~; 54 ~ 6 living in hot countries, etc ...), we can know the in-tergeries of the specialties prescribed at the corresponding addresses to the characteristics of the subject.
To facilitate reading, we can provide a framework in which you can insert the different cards so that ma; hold the grid correctly superimposed and illuminate the seems in Wood's light, the signs being made up with adequate materials.

In the present example we have imagined a co-Cartesian ordinates, mail it is obvious that we can work work with other coordinate systems. We can also consider other forms of signs with or without coloring.
EXAMPLE 2 - We can also work on your opaque with perforations such as 12, 13 or 14 having pins inward 6, the diameter of the different annuities perforations being substantially the same.
By superimposing the cards corresponding to the specialties envisaged and looking through transparency, we will see to the its corresponding to specialties a perforation inside from which appear lugs such as 17, 18, 19 and 20.
Corr ~ e to Example 1 we can consider addresses for the con-job descriptions or subject characteristics.
EXEMP_E 3 - Figure 5 shows schematically two rectangular cards A and B, preferably made of material transparent and semi-rigid, that is to say both flexible, but with good dimensional consistency so as to allow be able to find its exact dimensions even if it has may have been bent or veiled willfully or accidentally.
Card A corresponds to an element A, card B to a element B. They are both ordered according to a quadrilateral lage covering the entire surface of each card and schematically represented by the dotted lines. The dimensions of the maps and 10 ~ 5 ~ 6 grids must allow a superposition of A and B and as perfect a match as possible between the two quadrilateral lages and edges of cards.
We can possibly settle for a good super position of the grids if the cards are provided with means of reperaae such as adequate signs or perforations. This can be useful if after long use the edges and corners of cards may be worn out. We can also, as it is classic to do in the area of punch cards for electronic calculators, bevel a corner to make sure the cards are all arranged correctly in the file or at the time of the comparison operation and round off the others corners to prevent deterioration.
Assuming that type A and B cards are intended born from the study of interactions in the field of medicine and from the pharmacy, we will divide the maps geographically into one number of zones marked C, P and R delimited by the mixed lines. The dotted lines of the grid and the mixed lines-your delimiting the zones can be materialized or not on the menu.
Each of the intersections of the grids constitutes an information address and zones C, P and R are identical from one card to another in order to contain the same addresses. We reserves zone C for the constituents of elements A and B, that is to say tell the unit or group of units making up the element.
If element A or element B are, for example, caments, the various units can be the constituent (s) active ingredients or excipients. If, on the other hand, we prefer to have cards where A and B are not specialties, but unique-the constituents, the units can correspond to the various its functions of the active ingredient for example the functions of the molecule.

10654 ~
We will assume in what follows that A and B are spe drug specialties and that each address has a corresponding constituent of the specialty:
a, a ', a "for specialty A; b, b' for specialty B.
We carry on the card A, at the addresses chosen for a, a'I has "svm ~ oles or coded signs that indicate that each each of these addresses on card A is saved a characteristic or data specific to element A. We have chosen here to register the constituents, but one could also conceive In addition, to record the dosa-age or the form in which the medicine can be administered.
For simplicity, the figure does not have the symbol coded, but the references a, a ', a "to the chosen addresses.
mame on the card B we carried the symbols b, b 'corresponding active ingredients from B.
On card A, apart from the character addresses ticks or own data, all other addresses of the zone C can correspond to all the other active ingredients of all the specialties considered having given rise to a set of cards such as A and B. We have interest, of course from, to keep a certain number of free addresses for new ; new specialties to appear on the market. he is also interesting, for reasons of convenience and to allow possible verifications, to group in sub-areas, to inside zone C, active ingredients from the same family:
for example all antibiotics, acetyl salicylic acid and its derivatives etc ... In this way, on the other addresses of zone C of card A allocated to other active ingredients that a, a ', a "we can carry symbols among which rb, rb ,, which correspond to the relational characteristics susceptible-between the components of element A and those of element B.

lOt; S41 ~;
Likewise on card B will appear families of si-genes or symbols among which ra, ra "ra" corresponding to relational characteristics likely to exist between components of element B on the one hand and those of element A and its units on the other hand.
These relational characteristics can correspond to dre to interactions of all kinds and in particular to incompatibilities or interference.
Obviously if a relational characteristic between A and B appears on card A, we must find the same at at least once on card B. For example, if the rb sign on the card A corresponds to a chemical interference between the principle active a and active principle b, we find on card B the si-gne or the symbol ra corresponding to rb.
rb will be found in A at the same address as b in B, ra will be found in B at the same address as a in A. The signs or coded symbols saved at different addresses can be such as those described above ~ us. ' With each deck of cards must therefore be presented a table of addresses on the one hand and ratings on the other: by example, dimension 0 corresponds to a first symbol or to a first coded sign which, for convenience, will also be called O corres-reflecting for example the absence of any characteristic or relational. This would be the case in this example if there was perfect neutrality of the constituents of element A
with the element b '.
This can be translated into rb of card A by a sign or synbole 0 which can even result in the absence of any sign registration at the corresponding address. The rating 1 cor-corresponding to a sign or symbol 1 can correspond to itself even to a characteristic such as a, a 'or a "on the card A, or at b, b 'on card B. Similarly the other dimensions 10 ~ 5 ~

2, 3, 4, etc ... can correspond to the various characteristics relational issues, it is obvious that to avoid errors one can carry in more clear on the cards, for example to their upper edge, the name or the various possible denominations of the corresponding element and the various constituent units, that is to say in the case of this example the name or names of the specialty and the name or the various chemical names or commercial use of the different active ingredients.
Zone P can be reserved for corresponding addresses.

due to the different characteristics of the patient (age, sex, size, the, race, hereditary character, disease etc ...). We can also consider making P cards on which we carry the specific characteristics of the patient even if it means carrying in the areas interactions or awareness that we might know be.
On cards A and B, i.e. on those corresponding to laying in specialties, we must therefore wear in zone P
relational characteristics to indicate for example that such drug is suitable for infants, but not for people elderly and vice versa, that another is incompatible with diag-betic or pregnant women etc ... This will result in relational signs rp, rpj or rp ".
Regarding the R zone, it can be reserved the patient's diet or living conditions. Of same as for zone P, we can indicate in R if the patient lives in this or that climatic condition, in an urban environment or in rural environment and performs intellectual or manual work. We will also indicate on maps such as A or B in the R zone, possible interactions with this or that lifestyle, for example-full interference between an active substance and the ingestion of al-cool, this gives rise to relational signs or symbols rr, rrl.
It is interesting to note that if when we superimpose i5 ~

or compare the cards corresponding to the specialties prescribed by doctor A, B and the corresponding P, R card (s) according to the patient's own characteristics and diet of life, we will find at the addresses corresponding to the characteristics specific ticks of the constituents of the elements chosen the characteristics relational teristics between these elements at the same addresses on each of the other cards thus selected.
It may also be found at the same address coded signs or symbols corresponding to different odds your or even at the same ratings which can strengthen or attenuate the appreciation of practitioners in the choice or rejection of a specialty or active substance. This may also allow Note that in several prescribed specialties does not repeatedly find the same active ingredient this which results in the superimposition on the same address of several signs or symbols of specific characteristics or data.
If, as we said at the beginning of this example, the your are transparent, it's easy to superimpose them, to coincide and find superimposed on the character signs specific characteristics the signs of relational characteristics.
EXAMPLE 4 - We can consider a system of cards of the same type as those of example 3, but in which we do match the entire support card to an active ingredient or to a group of active ingredients and the different addresses specialties. This can allow in particular to find ai-probably all ~ s specialties or groups of specialties including the same active ingredient which can either prevent a duplication or on the contrary to seek additional effects nels or even synergistic, that is to say to research the documentary or market analysis type. By means of symbols coded according to the dimensions, we can also materialize dosages, forms of administration, associations with other families of 10 ~ S4 ~ 6 drugs and other relationship characteristics.
EXAMPLE 5 - By returning to the conditions of the former example 3, we will remind that we can possibly play on coloring of signs to be recorded. If, for example, the capa-city of the map allows to dedicate a corresponding surface element laying at each address of sufficient size so that we can do the following, you can use signs or symbols like as described below. If, on the other hand, the capacity and the di-mensions of the card leave only a space at each address to make it difficult for the eye to distinguish details, see an enlarged element located either on another support or on the same support in an area left free for example in margin.
FIG. 6 represents a symbol of this type which can be used either at each address or with reference if you wish enlarge it to make it more readable. The drawing of figure 6 is itself enlarged for convenience. The sign symbolic represented has a general square shape shared in four by two orthogonal lines, this arrangement can be generalize to any other form and to any number of divi-as long as it remains legible or discernible to the eye or by any suitable means.
This allows for the same symbol divided into n zones (here 4) to provide sub-symbols in each of the zones, that is i.e. multiply by 4, or more generally by n, the number dimension dimensions. If for example in the case of interactions With regard to medicinal products, there are 4 zones, we can foresee for example zone 21 for physical interactions zone 22 for positive pharmacological interactions ves, zone 23 for chemical interactions and zone 24 for negative pharmacological interactions.

1 ~ -iO ~; S4 ~

In the previous sentence we used the word interac-tions which is the most common case but it can just as apply well to any other relational characteristic tin-compatibility, interference, etc.).
Each of zones 21 to 24 can be colored tion according to the chosen odds. We can also not alone-vary the chosen color, i.e. the spectrum of wavelength but the intensity which corresponds on a sup-port itself transparent to the transparency of the colored symbol.
This transparency of the colored symbol can be obtained either by reducing the intensity of the dye or the thickness of the layer, either by using more or less fine regular patterns or more or less spaced.
Each drawing element (a line for example) can to correspond with a color to a given constituent, which can allow to explain according to the area in which it is located what kind of interaction each constituent entails. These di-to systems allow multiple superpositions ports to increase the intensity by reducing the transparency of the whole is to make appear an intense coloring by superimposition of supports having the same attenuated coloring which corresponds in practice for example to different speciali-tees comprising the same component and more especially the same active ingredient, each at a dosage calculated for the formula of specialty, but can give, if they are the subject of the same prescription, at a higher total dosage which must be taken into account you.
If, for example, as shown in Figure 2, the symbolic signs in each of the areas result in stripes more or less tight, but in different directions of a square to another, they improve readability first that is to say the distinction between the different zones 21 to 24 10654 ~ 6 of the same symbol, but it can also return to observations or comments made in the margins of the support in the direction of the different arrows corresponding to the di-nates of interactions listed above.
The use of a striped sygt ~ me moreover, when superp ~ sition, to distinguish directional stripes colors identical to those of the symbols representing the co ~
active ingredients or equivalent while nevertheless allowing less ~, if the stripes ~ e overlap to some extent, to play on the addition of colors while giving a significant cation coded in both simple and complex colors posed by superposition.
EXAMPLE 6 In this example, an embodiment is described specific to apply to all specialties pharmaceuticals constituting a defined market, here the French market çais, chosen as an illustration.
In this case, we identified and classified all the main active cipes and other components of all specialties French.

A collection of semi-rigid sheets, preferably transparent and rectangular, each consists of corresponding to a specialty in the broad sense of the term, a single record may possibly correspond to several models presented tation, several dosages or even several pharmaceutical forms ticks.
Each sheet contains the references of the drug considered d and the name of the manufacturer. In addition, are also indicated the active ingredients or, more generally, any component before causing interactions or side effects.
A reference matrix, here in cartisseur coordinates, is in the form of a rectangle 100 mm long 50 mm wide.

~ 06548 ~

One makes appear on this matrix:
1. the active ingredients making up the specialty and their classes main and possibly secondary pharmacologicals.
2, their interactions, and the meaning of these, with the other active ingredients.

3. possible interference of these active ingredients with certain foods, beverages and products absorbed through the routes respiratory and other environmental factors such as sunshine, climate, altitude, etc.

4. possible modifications of these formulas on exams standard (mainly biological) paraclinicals in distinction for effects requiring surveillance of those who disturb bent the data.

5. frequent or rare side effects.

6, the contraindications and the precautions for use in relation tion with patient characteristics such as: age, gender or medical conditions, as well as the routes or modes of administration nistration.
Individual sheets by specialty are produced on transparent support from an identical matrix. In superimposing two or more cards corresponding to the specialties t taken during the same treatment, all the information tions immediately appears in global reading and in particular possible interactions and their most significant meanings common.
This matrix is made up of:
- 40 usable columns - 07 free columns for updating - 03 columns where possible membership in one or more is noted "secondary" pharmacological classes.
Each pharmacological class is assigned a number lines depending on the number of active ingredients in the class, ~ 065486 let X be. This number is therefore congruent to X modulo 40.
The active ingredients occupy the first 75 lines of the mother card. The three columns left free are used to indicate if possibly one or more principles assets of a specialty belong to such and such secondary pharmacological class.
On the cards established by specialty, the principles assets are denoted by a circle (descriptive code) several colors their being used if the specialty includes several main active ingredients, when an active ingredient belongs to one or more secondary classes it is further positioned by a third of circle of the same color on the line or lines corresponding to this or these classes and in one of the three columns provided for in this effect.
B - Interference between active ingredients (lines 1 to 75) Each interference is noted on the active ingredient sheet by a variable relational code according to the direction of this interference this.
Association to avoid -Potentiation ; Decrease in effect Interference of another nature I
C - Food, drink and environmental factors (lines 76-77-78) We have retained three lines of the matrix.
The interaction of a food or an environmental factor with an active ingredient is indicated by an identical relational code to that used for interference.
D - Standard paraclinical examinations (lines 79-80-81) These are essentially paraclinical tests listed at a nomenclature of medical biology acts to which we can add ter certain examinations of current practices such as:

~ 06S4 ~ 6 - Electrocardiogram - Electroencephalogram - Fundus and visual field - Audiogram When creating a file, each of these items can be coded in two ways depending on whether:
- the effect of the drug brings about disturbances tingentes, the code is then P.
- or on the contrary it is an important factor in paraclinical surveillance, the code is then S.
E - Adverse effects (lines 82-83-84-85) These side effects have been grouped and classified by organs and sets of pathological syndromes.
Each of these items is coded in two different ways:
- if it is frequent: F
- if it is rare: R
F - Contraindications and precautions for use (line 8 ~ to 10 ~) This chapter brings together the patient's characteristics, or the modes of administration which can constitute:
- either a contraindication, coded: e - either a simple precaution for use, coded: Z
At each point of the reference matrix we can therefore - easily match an active component, possibly another component, or any other relative data for example patients or their living conditions, while reserving, a number of addresses for the future (especially for new calves produced).
On each file, as we said above, we show the names or other names of the active ingredients and others possible components, after each of them, we indicate as much as possible the corresponding address on the matrix. For example, 10f ~ 54 ~;

in FIG. 7 which represents the sheet corresponding to the special-lity known in the trade under the name "A ~ pirine vita-mine C of the brand or name Ml produced by the laboratory The names of the two active ingredients have been indicated.
1 '') acetylsalicylic acid located on the matrix by its ordered address: 8 and abscissa: 39.
2) ascorbic acid identified on the matrix by its ordered address: 32 and abscissa: 16.
Similarly in Figure 8 corresponding to the specialty commercially known as M2, produced by the L2 laboratory, the active ingredient is identified by its address under an analogous form: probenecide 35-23.
It is recommended on the common matrix, or matrix mother, to group the active components of the same family in a do the same area, for example on the same line. Thus, we distribute ra the ordinates by assigning one or more lines per family-the:
1 - General anesthetics 2- Local anesthetics 3 - Hypnotics 4 - Antiepileptics, etc.
Similarly, these families will themselves be grouped into larger families, for example:
- 1 to 11 central nervous system depressants - 12 to 14 central nervous system stimulants - 15 to 17 drugs from the vegetative nervous system, etc As we 1 'said above, to facilitate the location, the relational symbols or signs are, in each case of the same color as the corresponding circle. It should be noted that in the attached figures made in black on a white background, one in-produces confusion between the colors of the various signs or ~ 06S4 ~ 6 symbols that don't actually exist.
To facilitate recognition, we can prefer-Also follow a color code corresponding to the order of m ~ ration of active ingredients on the specialty sheet.
In FIG. 7, the following signs have been worn which correspond respond to interactions with products or families whose the addresses are indicated. For the sake of simplicity, we have omitted signs for side effects. On the matrix type or mother matrix, we reserved the abscissae 1 to 3 on all the height of the ordinates for the latter, but it is well-see that we can as well, without departing from the framework of the pre-sente invention, reserve for this purpose any other area of the ma-trice.
Signs corresponding to acetylsalicylic acid and all the same color:

- type B - interactions with:
antipyrine or phenazone 8.33 atropine 17.5 barbiturates 1.12 to 1.15 3.4 to 3.26 salicyles 8.38 to 8.50 (8.39 corresponds to acid acetylsalicylic, au-be active substance of said specialty) sulfonamides same addresses as above above.
In Figure 8 are shown the following signs or symbols which correspond to interactions with the active substance of the specialty under consideration (probenecid) - type A - interactions with erythromycin 38,22 - type B - interactions with etacrynic acid 27,42 30 - type C - interactions with allopurinol 35.25 - type D - interactions with endomethacin 35.20 NOT 39.13 10654 ~
penicillins and sulfonamides same addresses as above above.
For reasons of simplification, we did not In this example, the other corresponding symbolic signs appear.
with side or side effects, under the conditions of the environment, specific characteristics of the patient, etc ...
However, it may be advantageous to bring up in the form of arcs of circles (thirds of circles for example) of the same color as that chosen for the active ingredient flabbergasted, belonging to a pharmacological class other than that retained to position the product on the mother matrix.
For example, aspirin symbolized by a solid circle in the class of analgesics may appear as arcs in the classes of anti-inflammatories, antipyretics or anti platelet aggregators.
If for example we reserved the abscissas 4 to 50 of a line from the mother matrix to a family of active components we may use the free space corresponding to abscissas 1 and 3 to display the arcs of circles corresponding to the effects secondary. In this way we can see place ourselves side by side axes corresponding to the various components of the same speciali-té or several specialties if you overlap sheets this which can take on the appearance of a series of signs ~ (((without account of the grid of the matrix with regard to the abscis-his. We can thus show the cumulations of ef-primary and / or secondary pharmacological effects, which may allow to explain certain reactions of the type exceeding doses so far remained unexplained.
So by superimposing two or more cards transparent such as those of Figures 1 and 2, so make the coordinate axes coincide and therefore the ma-if the cards correspond to the prescribed specialties iO ~ S4 ~ 6 for processing, the coded signs or symbols which overlap feels in the circles corresponding to the addresses of the active ingredients or components to be taken into account, correspond to teractions the nature of which is defined above and which have been signed by symbol.
As noted, this makes it possible to make a point.
than general, a double correspondence always before exist: if principle X has an interaction with principle Y
we must also find it at the address of X on the card corresponding to Y, than to the address of Y on file X.
This correspondence may not be identical: for example, X can decrease the activity of Y, without its own pre is itself diminished.
Thus the supports according to the invention allow a permanent self-checking of their accuracy because the fact that information does not appear in duplicate during use tion of the media corresponds to an error or a forgetting to put up to date.
Each sheet can be accompanied by 90US all forms adequate, with useful additional information on the mechanics nism of the reported interactions, their significance, as well as bibliographic references.
In particular, it is advantageous that each of these cards are contained in a simple file holder, of the shirt type in open cardboard facilitating classification and consultation, where are shown in clear:
- on the front, general information about the product containing the legal data in an identical order for all the files established in a suite and a grouping together the other logical and of practical interest to the user.
- inside, the clear transcription of the interferences references, effects and other data appearing in code on the figures ~ of ~ 4 ~ G
transparent ches.
So when the practitioners have the cards corresponding, their prescription can be easily and quickly promptly reconsidered by themselves and the interactions or ef-unwanted side effects avoided by a single effort of careful attention re the revision of their basic prescription and therefore not a waste of time in daily practice.
From this new base, the ul-of their prescription will occur as and when requirements and new data delivered in the form, i.e.
additional files relating to new products, namely of renewal of files, that is to say of additions which they will be transcribed themselves during a reading or a information pending a "renewal-update".
EXAMPLE 7 - We can proceed as in Example 1, but constitute the support by photographic process for example in microfilm. It is then possible not only to wear signs at different addresses but also to include on the text map allowing the user to find information or indications depending on the weight and age of the patient.
The photographic process also allows recording lying on a film or microfilm, the table representing the worn large and on which it is easier to wear the signs to the desired addresses. The layering of pictures can be done easily by optical means, for example by projection or by chés superimposed behind the same projection lens, either by a projection lens for each shot, the different projected images being superimposed on a common screen.
EXF, MPLE 8 - On a support consisting of a rec-preferably rigid or semi-rigid tangular and bearing a so-called magnetic, addresses corresponding to a iO65486 grid in rectangular coordinates and we save by any conventional process, magnetic signals to addresses its corresponding to the specialties and characteristics desired.
There are many techniques for personal recording.
putting great precision in the addresses and a great laughter in the form or intensity of the signals which allows determine a significant number of ratings at each address.
So with classic cards, we have the most often 5,000 addresses to which you can assign a character tère chosen from a set of at least 25 different symbols coded according to the invention.
Each card corresponds for example to a specialty pharmaceutical and can advantageously be contained in a card holder similar to that described in Example 6.
Alternatively, a magnetic strip of common type whose capacity is similar to that of 25 to 200 magnetic cards described above. Each band can then concern either a therapeutic class of drugs or be assigned to a range of specialties from a specific laboratory, or to any other desirable classification.
One of the advantages of magnetic media is the fact that these supports can be changed without problem important technique, especially when highlighting new interference, these modifications being made from devices similar to those of typewriters with memory ac-tually available.
The implementation of the method according to the invention in the magnetic media can be done in the following way, whether the medium is a tape, card or disk.
The card or the band portion assigned to a first specialty is to introduce into a reading unit comprising a central memory and in the case of a tape a keyboard iO ~ 541 ~ 6 command to select the addresses of the specialty considered. The characteristics found at the addresses of this specialty then passes into the central memory.
We also introduce the characteristics of the addresses a second, third, etc ... specialty by superimposing them fac, we specify at the addresses of the first specialty thanks to a synchronization system.
I1 then suffices to restore all the characteristics superimposed statistics corresponding for example to interference between the specialties considered by highlighting these characteristics central memory ticks on a reading unit, such as a cathodic screen, possibly provided with a device allowing the reprography of the information read on the screen, a table , cante or even a conventional printer.
This type of recording allows retransmissions to distance, easy reproductions and comparisons of a large number of supports using easily achievable material by those skilled in the art from conventional elements.
We can also proceed electrically and not magnetically.

tick and vary the signals according to the rating digital or analog.
Devices such as those described in the examples precedents can find number of variants and applications.
As regards the latter, the field of medicine cine and pharmacy offers many possibilities. We can, for example, study other problems than interfe ~ ren-these, one can also for example, in the field of homeopathy thie, study the prescriptions taking into account the constitution or of the type of individual.
Still in the area of applications, we can study fa, con specifies the important problem in medi do and in pharmacies overlay doses and otherwise and separately and in combination, the feeding problem : 10 ~; 5486 especially for babies.
So on a general level, when we want to highlight evidence of the interactions between an active ingredient of a specialty and all the active ingredients of other specialists lities belonging to a defined market, for example the French market ~ ais, we see that the same specialty can exist under different annuity pharmaceutical forms (ointment, tablets, capsules, am-hens, etc.) and different dosages for administration routes different administration.
However, the interactions between the active ingredients of one specialty and those of other specialties often vary considerably with the features listed above.
In addition, any interactions between the components active health of several specialties may vary depending the prescribed dosage and in particular the simultaneity or not catches, their frequency and the speed or delay absorption or elimination of drugs.
It therefore appears important to be able to keep account of these data in the implementation of the process and the alisation of the device object of the invention as it was de-crit above. So the symbolic signs can be coded depending on the characteristics of the specialty considered.
More precisely, this code can be a function of the form me pharmaceutical of the specialty considered, of the partial dosage of its active components, its route of administration, its prescribed dosage, in particular of the simultaneity or not catches of this specialty with those of other specialties.
In addition, the symbolic coded si ~ es can be the first symbol sign corresponding to the address of each active asset of the specialty, this first symbolic sign being a circle centered on the point of intersection of the corresponding matrix laying at said address, this circle having its own color ~ 06S4 ~ 6 said component, this first symbolic sign can have a portion of color different from the color specific to said composition health, this portion of the circle being defined as a function of the characteristics of the specialty under consideration.
According to another embodiment, the coding of the first symbolic sign has a circle centered on the point of intersection section of the matrix corresponding to said address, this first circle having a color specific to said component and a second circle key, which can be centered like the first circle, but of diameter be at most equal to the diameter of this first circle, at least a portion of which has a color different from the proper color said component, this portion of the circle being defined in function characteristics of the specialty under consideration.
On the other hand, the coded symbolic signs can be those that correspond to interactions, these symbolic signs being line segments centered on said intersection points section, the length of which corresponds substantially to the diameter of the said circles and whose orientation corresponds to a predeter code-mined, these segments may have a portion of a color different from the color proper to said component, said portion being defined according to the characteristics of the specialty conslderee.
Another embodiment of sign coding symbolic for interactions can be to use on the one hand the first line segments, centered on said intersection points, the length of which corresponds substantially the diameter of the circles and whose orientation corresponds to a co-determined, these first line segments being colored component audit and, on the other hand, second segments, parallel to the first and of a similar length, comprising at least a portion of color different from the own color said component, this segment portion being defined in function ~ 0 ~; 54 ~ 6 characteristics of the specialty under consideration.
In addition, the addresses of the active components can be grouped by zones corresponding to the families of active health according to a matrix common to all the files, these zones can themselves be grouped into several regions gions. Each of these regions can have an address area reserved for side effects, especially to indicate that the components can belong in addition to their address is unique to other families.

You can bring to the addresses of said reserved areas symbolic signs of the side effects of the cor-corresponding to the sheet considered.
Finally, at least part of the files can be such that each record in this part is relative either to a class of specialties or active ingredients, i.e. a set of specialties or active ingredients likely to treat a or a set of specific diseases, either to a specific type subject.
EXAMPLE 9 - Figures 9 and 10 show two coda-. .
different ages depending on the characteristics of a specialty symbols representing the active components of this specialty and entered on the card corresponding to this specialty to their respective addresses.
EXAMPLE 10 - Figures 11 and 12 show two co-different ages depending on the characteristics of a speciali-of the symbols representing the interactions, i.e. the relational genes defined in the main patent and its addi-tions.
As mentioned above, the possible interactions between the active components of the specialties will depend on the characteristics of these, that is to say on their nics, dosages, routes of administration and conditions S4 ~ ' of prescription.
As an example of possible interaction depending of the galenic form, mention may be made of glucocorticoids which, if they are used as an ointment with a penetrating excipient, are likely to interact with active components of a specialty taken by general route, whereas with an excipient non-penetrating, these interactions will not appear.
Regarding interactions depending on the po-sology used, we can take aspirin as an example which, in low doses, that is to say at a rate of 0.5 to 1.5 grams daily, increases hyperuricemia by blocking elimination tubular uric acid. In this case, then avoid to combine the administration of aspirin at low doses while time than that of conventional uricosurics.
On the other hand, in high doses, that is to say above 3 grams per day, aspirin has a uricosuric effect of so that its interactions with specialties with uricosurics are no longer to be feared.
As an example of a channel function interaction example administration, we can cite the case of class products injectable penicillins such as ampicillin, methicillin line, etc ..., which administered in the same syringe or the same infusion fluid, inactivates aminoglycosides such as kanamycin or gentamycin.
However, when these are administered separately or by different routes, for example one intra-venous and the other intramuscularly, inactivation does not no longer occurs.
As an example of an interaction depending on the medical criteria and more particularly the schedule of the its defined by the prescriber, we can cite the example of the PAS
which, if absorbed together with isoniazid, inhibits ~ (~ ti5 ~
digestive absorption of it while this effect disappears when the intakes relating to each active ingredient are spaced cées.
Consequently, the possible interactions of the main active pes of a specialty with those of other specialties may be a function of what is called in this description the characteristics of specialties, this term encompassing all the factors of the type described above by way of example full.
According to these improvements, the symbolic signs are coded according to the characteristics of the specialty to which they refer to.
So, for example, on the card of a specialty carrying ampicillin in injectable form, one can code the circle worn at the address reserved for ampicillin and whose color is characteristic of it, by coloring a portion of this circle of a different color, this portion of circle colored differently meaning that in the injectable form the possible interactions with certain active components, in the aminoglycosides are a function of a simul-tanned in the same syringe.
The meaning of this coding can be specified in head of the card, next to the statement of the specialty as described it above.
In the same way, the symbolic signs of the rela-can be coded by reserving a portion of the segments of color relating to interactions, this segment portion being of a different color depending on the characteristics of the specialty considered.
In the same way, con, we can use two concentric circles triques or two superimposed lines (Figures 10 and 12) if you want highlight on the one hand, interactions of a principle lO ~; S4 ~

active with the other active ingredients and on the other hand, the vari-ations of these interactions with one or more characteristics specialties that contain them.
Of course, the coding described above is not given as a nonlimiting example, this coding being nevertheless particularly satisfactory in that it is simple and easy to read.
re easy and that it does not increase the cost price of the print slon.
EXAMPLE 11 On the other hand, we have described above fact sheets relating to pharmaceutical specialties designed shot of a mother matrix in which each line includes 50 abscissas.
It was also indicated that the addresses of the compo-active people could be grouped by corresponding zones families of active components.
Finally, we mentioned the possibility of reserving side effect areas, for example reserving for each that line corresponds to a family of active components, abscissae 1 to 3 which include deg arcs of a circle of u no color identical to the active components, these arcs of a circle corresponding to side effects, i.e. indicating the ap- -partnership with other families of said active components.
According to a particularly advantageous alternative to the gard of the didactic character of the invention, the common matrix can be made up of three regions in which we group the zones corresponding to the families of active components.
These three regions preferably have columns of equal height, that is to say with the same number of ordinates.
The first region preferably consists of li-genes comprising 25 abscissae, one abscissa being reserved for ef-secondary fets, 20 abscissas with relative symbolic signs existing active components and their interactions and 4 ab-thighs being reserved for new components which appear will be later.
The second region is made up of lines of 15 abscissas, including one abscissa for side effects, 11 abscissa for existing active components and 3 for new components calves, while the third region has lines of 10 abscissae including one for side effects, 7 for ingredients existing active health and 2 for new components. This distribution allows better classification and better pre-didactic feeling of the common matrix thanks to the multipli-cation of the lines.
In the same way, we, we can have an interest in using, not a matrix whose elements are grouped by lines or by columns, which may leave unused for example end of lines or end of columns, but to distribute the classes its or subclasses of active components following one of the others, like the sentences of the same paragraph, but being separate trimmed by an empty space, similar to punctuation, inside laughing which appear distinctive igne, for example those related to side effects.
Finally, we specifically considered files related to each specialty and we mentioned elsewhere, that the device, the process and the equipment had numerous applications, particularly in the medical-pharmaceutical field ceutique.
In order to facilitate the work of prescribers, in particular It is advantageous for physicians, overall ches object of the invention, at least a part of these sheets is such that each of the files in this part relates to a class of specialties likely to treat one or all of specific diseases, or is related to a specific type undermined with the sick.

10 ~ 54 ~;

For example, we can make a file relating to diabetics on which we will include all the incompatibi-lities and interactions of all active components with this type of patient.
When prescribing a specialty by the doctor cin to a diabetic, it will suffice to superimpose the relative sheet diabetics with those relating to the specialties prescribed or to a group of specialties so that the doctor is informed of possible incompatibilities.
Likewise, it is possible to draw up relative sheets.
ves to the patient himself and to his characteristics (age, sex, - ~
constitutional or acquired syndromes, etc.) which, by superpo-sition with the other group medication sheets of drugs or diseases, eliminate thera-dangerous policies and guide the choice of the prescriber.
Regarding the materialization of ratings and addresses it is obvious that we can always encrypt them directly or indirectly and this digitally or analogically especially concerning the odds, in terms of the analogy as pointed out above. This may pre-feel the benefit of allowing the constitution to sort of matrix these three-dimensional with the possibility of referring to a corpus of data or characteristics or more generally at a table or reference dictionary giving all information specific to each of the elements of comparison studied.
Regarding the production of the supports mes to the invention there is a number of techniques that per-put to simplify their manufacture, for example many drugs interfere with antibiotics so we can consider that the entire area reserved on each support with the antibiotics can, if we refer to example 1, be uniform slightly colored which is more easily readable and brings out ~ O ~ S41 ~ 6 firing very clearly and particularly easily an inter-ference with products materialized with a whole family addresses. Conversely, the supports corresponding to the various antibiotics may carry large areas of incompatibility corresponding to families of products incompatible with antibiotics.
As demonstrated above, the present invention tion finds, among other things, its application in the medi-cal or pharmaceutical where the search for interactions or patibilities is fundamental in the doctor's drafting of the prescription and its execution by the pharmacist, but the man can find many other jobs without modi -of the very content of the invention in very fields different, for example in agriculture for the choice of fertilizers depending on the land and crops or more generally in any area where we can be brought to cooperate at least two elements and where interactions are to be sought or evi-ter, ain ~ i as in the field of human food, animal or v ~ general and as a general rule in all areas where relational characteristics between the elements are susceptible-to be highlighted.
