Abstract: A system for filling medication dose packs with oral-solid medication items comprises storage tray drawers each having storage trays. Each storage tray stores a specific type of oral-solid medication item. The storage tray drawers are displaceable to a drawn position to expose the storage trays thereof. A table supports dose packs having a plurality of receptacles arranged in rows, with each receptacle associated with an intake time and date of a patient prescription file. A dispensing mechanism has fingers for grasping by suction an oral-solid medication item, and degrees of freedom to displace the fingers from any one of the storage trays to the dose pack, to transfer the oral-solid medication items from the storage trays in the drawn position to the receptacles of the dose pack.

Abstract: A method of, and an apparatus for, introducing at least one halide into the bath of cell for dry electrolysis. The method confines a portion of the bath in an annular space and upward motion is imparted to the confined portion of the bath by introduction of a gas and halide into the annular space. The apparatus for carrying out the method consists of two concentric tubes: an inner tube through which the halide and the gas are introduced and which tube is open at its bottom end and which tube has orifices on its lateral wall; and an outer tube which is open at its bottom end, closed at the top end and provided on its lateral wall with apertures situated at a level higher than that of the orifices. The method and apparatus can be applied to the operation and construction of electrolysis baths in which the concentration by weight of the halide and its mean valency must be maintained within a narrow range and be able to be adjusted progressively and precisely.
