  • Patent number: 8240506
    Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing pharmaceutical articles includes a housing assembly and an adjustment system. The housing assembly includes a first inlet wall and a second inlet wall that is moveable relative to the first inlet wall. The housing assembly defines a hopper chamber that houses pharmaceutical articles, and a dispensing channel fluidly connected to the hopper chamber. The dispensing channel has an inlet and an outlet and defines a flow path. The inlet is defined at least in part by the first and second inlet walls. The adjustment system is operable to adjust the position of the second inlet wall relative to the first inlet wall to adjust the size of the inlet to singulate the pharmaceutical articles passing through the inlet. The adjustment system includes an input mechanism and an operator feedback mechanism. The input mechanism is selectively operable by an operator to selectively move the second inlet wall relative to the first inlet wall.

  • Patent number: 7048425
    Abstract: A light device including side emitting status indicators that provide a true indication of whether light is being output in a primary output direction. The light device includes a light source of at least one LED configured to generate light in the primary output direction. The light generated by the at least one LEDs passes through a lens device, that may also reflect a portion of the light generated from the at least one LED. Collection optics are provided to capture a portion of the generated light and/or the reflected portion of the light generated from the light source, and are configured to output the captured generated and/or reflected light in a direction other than the primary direction, i.e., in a direction for the side emitting status indicators.
