[Object] To achieve a compact construction while making it possible to dispense a medicine certainly one by one.

[Solution] A medicine dispensing unit 7 for dispensing a medicine retained is disposed. The medicine dispensing unit comprises a first rotator 24 having a circular face rotatably disposed at a slant state to a horizontal plane; a second rotator 25 having a ring face rotatably disposed over the horizontal plane at an outer peripheral side of the first rotator 24; and a guide member 28 having a guide face, the guide face being disposed above the circular face of the first rotator 24 while extending radially with respect to the circular face, being positioned at a downstream side in a rotational direction of the first rotator 24 towards a periphery in a radial direction, and being capable of contacting with the medicine placed on the first rotator 24 due to rotation of the first rotator 24.

The disclosure relates to a method for filling a transport tray having a reduced risk of incorrect fillings. In accordance with the disclosure, a target filling of a plurality of receptacles in the transport tray is transmitted to the control device and at least one filling template is produced based on the target filling and on a filling regime and is displayed by means of a display device. Then drug portions corresponding to the filling template are transferred to the receptacles, and an image of at least the receptacles to be filled in accordance with the target filling is produced by means of an optical detection device and the actual filling is determined using the image and is compared to the target filling. If no target deviation is found, the transport tray is released for transferring the drug portions to the machine tray.

Device for feeding fuel gas to an application (6), the device comprising at least one fuel gas bottle (1) furnished with a tap (2), and a bleed-off apparatus (4, 13) comprising an electronic logic unit (9) and a bleed-off outlet (4) selectively connectable to the tap (2), the bleed-off outlet (4) being linked (5) fluidically to an application (6) receiving the fuel gas originating from the bottle (1), the tap (2) comprising an electronic manometer (3) for measuring the pressure in the bottle (1), the electronic manometer (3) being devoid of battery and comprising an inductive member (7) for wirelessly transmitting to the electronic logic unit (9) information relating to the measured pressure, characterized in that the bleed-off apparatus (4, 13) also comprises an inductive member (8) powered electrically by the electronic logic unit (9) and in that, when the bleed-off outlet (4) is connected up to the tap (2), the inductive member (8) of the bleed-off outlet (4) is situated in a manner adjacent to the inductive member (7) of the manometer (3) so as to ensure electrical power supply of the manometer (3) by inductive coupling.

Powder dispensing and sensing apparatus and methods are provided. The powder dispensing and sensing apparatus includes a tray support structure to receive a cartridge tray holding cartridges, a powder dispenser assembly including powder dispenser modules to dispense powder into respective cartridges of a batch of cartridges in the cartridge tray, a powder transport system to deliver powder to the powder dispenser modules, a sensor module including sensor cells to sense respective fill states, such as the weights, of each of the cartridges in the batch of cartridges, and a control system to control the powder dispenser modules in response to the respective sensed fill states of each of the cartridges of the batch of cartridges.

A fueling control system for providing fuel from a vehicle to an aircraft, and a method of providing fuel from a fuel vehicle to an aircraft are disclosed herein. The fueling control system includes a pressure transducer for sensing back pressure in a fluid path to a fuel tank of an aircraft, and a digital controller coupled to the pressure transducer for receiving the back pressure in the fluid path and controlling fuel flow in the fluid path to the aircraft. The method includes the steps of sensing back pressure in a fluid path from the aircraft; receiving the sensed back pressure by a digital controller; and controlling fuel flow to the aircraft in the fluid path based on the sensed back pressure.

An apparatus for dispensing dry particulate consumables includes a storage silo to store the particulate consumables. A first end of a conveyor is adjacent to a discharge opening of the silo. A second end of the conveyor is in communication with a dispensing hopper. A motor is configured to drive the conveyor in order to fill the dispensing hopper, where the dispensing hopper is filled in response to a purchase signal indicating a purchase request for dispensing the particulate consumables. A user interface is configured to initiate the purchase signal, where the user interface is configured to receive payment from a purchaser for the particulate consumables. A controller is in communication with the user interface, the motor that controls the conveyor, and the dispenser hopper in order to control an amount of particulate consumables dispensed to the purchaser.

This invention is about a novel design of a multi-purpose smart pillow and the manufacturing method of the smart pillow. The present invention consists of three main embodiments including a smart pillow two layers cover with special hidden opening and closure mechanism; an inside arrangement for multilayer fillers with different softness; and a removable external cover sheet for the smart pillow. This smart pillow solved the problem of required multiple softness(s) levels for using same pillow with easy cleaning mechanism.

A container to hold contents therein is described with a gauge to indicate the level of contents in the container. The container can be a prescription container to store capsules, tablets, pills and the like. A label is affixed outside the container and is substantially opaque such that the interior is not visible through the label. The label including a vertical, transparent viewing window to see past the label, through the container wall to view the contents therein. The label includes indicia and indicators adjacent the window to indicate a time remaining for the supply of contents in the container or other characteristics of the contents. The time remaining can be calculated by the container volume and characteristics of the contents.
