Abstract: A medication container can include a frame, a drawer including slots, at least one of a first set of one or more sensors and a second set of one or more sensors, and an electronic transmitter. The slots in the drawer can receive cartridges containing medication. The first set of sensor(s) can detect whether the drawer has moved more than a preset distance into or out of the frame. The second set of sensor(s) can detect whether a cartridge has been removed from a corresponding slot and/or the contents of the cartridge. The electronic transmitter can transmit data characterizing at least one of whether the drawer has moved more than the preset distance into or out of the frame and whether the cartridge has been removed from the corresponding slot to a server computer via a communication network. Other medication containers and systems for generating alerts are described.

Abstract: A temperature probe for use with an air conditioning device of the type including a heat exchanger subject to possible freeze-up, such as an evaporator tube array. The probe includes a substantially rigid support member having an elongated portion with a temperature sensor mounted thereto, as within a recess therein, for insertion into the tube array. Electrical temperature signals from the sensor are transmitted, as by electrical leads, to a use location and device. The rigid support member of the probe includes a limiting portion extending transversely of the elongated portion for limiting insertion into the tube array and thereby positioning the sensor. A second temperature sensor may be located on the support member so as to be external of the tube array for developing the air temperature signal. Both sensors may be thermistors. The elongated portion of the support member is sized for close-fitting insertion between a pair of fins which normally extend transversely of the tube runs.
