Abstract: A dispenser device for storage and dispensing individual unit members of all types, including medicines, drugs, food and candy products. The units are held in a housing or container portion and released by a dispenser mechanism in a dispensing portion. A biased trigger member is operated in order to release the unit members from the housing portion. One or more finger positioners (depressed or raised configurations) are provided on the container portion, and the dispenser device is adapted to be positioned easily and comfortably in the user's hand. The trigger member is positioned such that it can be easily operated by one of the user's fingers.

Abstract: Changes in the infrared reflection spectrum of a thin film of silica-like resinous material sandwiched between metal electrodes can be induced by applying an electric potential to a top electrode which is semitransparent. Characteristic infrared absorption lines change in proportion to a small electric current flowing through the material. These changes occur with response times of the order of seconds, and show time constants of the order of minutes to reach stationary values.
