  • Devices for controlled dispensing
    Patent number: 10383438
    Abstract: Devices and methods for controlled dispensation are described herein where such an assembly may generally comprise an index plate having one or more protrusions extending from a surface of the plate, a first actuator configured to translate the plate in a first direction, and a second actuator configured to translate the plate in a second direction different from the first direction. The one or more protrusions may define one or more rows which are arranged upon the plate in a collinear arrangement and may further define one or more columns which are arranged upon the plate at an angle relative to a proximal or distal edge of the plate such that each protrusion is off-set relative to an adjacent protrusion along the column.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 16, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 20, 2019
    Assignee: Cubex LLC

  • Device and method for controlling access
    Patent number: 10280650
    Abstract: Devices and methods for controlling access are described herein where such an assembly may generally comprise an index plate defining one or more spaces over a surface of the plate and each of the one or more spaces having a corresponding protrusion extending within, a first actuator configured to translate the plate in a first direction, and a second actuator configured to translate the plate in a second direction different from the first direction. The one or more lever arms may correspondingly extend from a locking mechanism and the one or more spaces, wherein selective engagement of a single lever arm by a corresponding single protrusion actuates the single lever arm from a locked configuration to an unlocked configuration.
