The information from the data collection system is received and the predetermined group within which each dispenser is associated is determined. The number of dispenser usage events is determined. A benchmark which corresponds to dispenser usage opportunities particular to the predetermined group and particular to the predetermined time period is determined. The dispenser usage compliance index particular to the predetermined group and particular to the predetermined time period is determined by dividing the dispenser usage events for the predetermined group and the predetermined time period by a denominator which equals the benchmark.
In a discharge lamp ignition apparatus, a control circuit unit: lowers a drive frequency from a predetermined initial frequency; establishing, if a resonant voltage reaches an ignition voltage for igniting a discharge lamp, a drive frequency at the ignition voltage as a discharge-lamp-ignition drive frequency which is a frequency for igniting the discharge lamp; and sets, if the resonant voltage does not reach the ignition voltage even though the drive frequency is lowered from the predetermined initial frequency to a resonant frequency, a frequency which is a predetermined value higher than the drive frequency at a resonant voltage peak voltage as the discharge-lamp-ignition drive frequency, and an inverter circuit unit alternating-current drives the resonant circuit unit at the discharge-lamp-ignition drive frequency established by the control circuit unit.

The invention relates to a dispenser system with a housing, into which a reservoir cartridge is inserted, which is formed by a reservoir container and a distribution device. Housing comprises an actuation device which acts on distribution device in such a way that a pressure on the actuation device delivers a portion of the medium on the distribution device. The known dispenser systems have the drawback that an individual dispenser is required depending on the medium. According to the invention, in order to create an identical part dispenser system, a connection element compensating for the different geometries of distribution device is connected to distribution device. Moreover, actuation device comprises at different levels pressure-exerting faces, which cooperate with pressure-receiving faces of distribution device, wherein different faces engage with one another depending on employed reservoir cartridge.
