  • Patent number: 4736849
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to store and aid in the dispensing of calendar-oriented drugs is disclosed in which the apparatus comprises a carrier containing a plurality of pill-containing enclosures, the enclosures arranged in rows. Numerical and/or alphanumerical indicia are associated with the enclosures so that each enclosure is associated with only one day in a calendar month. One or more additional enclosures in different rows may also be associated with the same calendar date. Corresponding indicia on the reverse side of the carrier aid in the determination of which enclosure(s) to open. In this way the user can easily determine and verify that the proper enclosure(s) has been opened. The package also provides a visual indication of calendar days for which pills have not been used by the patient and in this way provides patient compliance information to the physician prescribing such drugs.

  • Patent number: 4482063
    Abstract: A computer terminal support and hand rest to be placed on a desk top and interposed between the computer terminal and a computer operator as well as being interposed between the computer terminal and the desk top. The computer terminal support provides a hand rest for supporting the hands of the computer operator both during use of the computer terminal and during rest intervals. In a preferred embodiment, the support also includes a conductive portion for draining static charges from the computer terminal operator to prevent circuit damage and erroneous command signals to the computer and to prevent electrical shock to the operator.Several embodiments of the support are disclosed including alternate structures for providing a static discharge path, alternate structures for supporting the hands and alternate structures for supporting the computer terminal.
