Disclosed are a poker machine and a card collating device and method thereof. The card collating device includes a card collating base, a card collating channel outer side wall, and a center rotating disc The card collating base is directly or indirectly fixed on a base. The center rotating disc is arranged in the center of the card collating base. The center rotating disc is driven by a rotating disc electric motor to rotate. The card collating channel outer side wall is arranged outside the card collating base. An arc-shaped card collating channel for collating playing cards is formed between the center rotating disc and the card collating channel outer side wall. One end of the arc-shaped card collating channel is provided with a card discharging baffle. A card collating channel outlet is formed between the card discharging baffle and the bottom of the arc-shaped card collating channel.

Disclosed is an automated pill dispenser, which provide a plurality of pill dispensing modules. The plurality of pill dispensing modules may have a first pill dispensing module and a second first pill dispensing module, and the first pill dispensing module has a first dispensing belt that dispenses a first individual pill and the second pill dispensing module having a second dispensing belt dispenses a second individual pill. One or more sensors may be used to monitor operation of the automated pill dispenser for dispensing medication by the plurality of pill dispensing modules. Also disclosed is a cloud-based resource and information tracking services for medical patients and healthcare providers and a hardware device that solves significant healthcare problems.

Mechanisms for dispensing items such as medications and medical supplies. Different mechanisms may be tailored to dispensing different kinds of items, for example medications in single dose packages, vials, syringes, or other similarly-shaped items. The dispensers may be placed in a dispensing unit that includes a lockable restock drawer and a dispense drawer into which items are dispensed by the dispensing mechanisms. The various kinds of dispensing mechanisms may be installed in the restock drawer in any workable proportion and arrangement. The dispensing mechanisms include multiple sensing technologies for tracking and inventory of items and for accurate sensing of items as they are dispensed.

An improved dispenser unit for dispensing bulk food items, including a cabinet having at least one hopper having a drum with product compartments, a deflector and flexible gate valve, a dispense assembly, and a control system. The dispense assembly may or may not include one or more belts and/or sensors. The product compartments include flexible and/or elastic membranes, which dynamically change the effective product storage volume within a compartment, and eliminate rigid or semi-rigid pinch points between the drum and drum compartment. A product flow divider may be positioned above the receiving container in the dispense assembly, said divider configured to cause the dispensed product to divide into two or more flow streams into the receiving container. The receiving container may be vibrated or oscillated.

A filling station for filling a feeder unit with discrete medicaments includes a base and a holder that is positionable in one or more inclined orientations relative to said base for holding the feeder unit in said one or more inclined orientations. A method for filling a feeder unit with discrete medicaments includes the step of filling the feeder unit with the discrete medicaments when the feeder unit is held by the holder in one of the one or more inclined orientations.

A biometric sensor may include a scanner configured to capture a biometric data and an adjustment mechanism configured to respond to a force applied to the biometric sensor by shifting the biometric sensor from a neutral position to an adjusted position. The adjustment mechanism may be configured to respond to the removal of the force by returning the biometric sensor to the neutral position. While the biometric sensor is in the neutral position, the scanner may be capable of capturing a biometric data of a majority of users interacting with the apparatus. Accordingly, the biometric sensor may be able to operate with minimal adjustments. The biometric sensor may be part of a dispensing cabinet such that the biometric data captured by the biometric sensor may be used to control access to the dispensing cabinet. Related methods are also disclosed.
