  • Patent number: 10750732
    Abstract: A system is provided that promotes ram ventilation for aquatic animals stored therein. The system includes a horizontally oriented container that maintains fluid flow in one predominant direction with a first end of the horizontally oriented container receiving a first volume of fluid and a second end expelling a second volume of fluid. The second end is provided at an opposite side of the horizontally oriented container than the first end. A slot is provided that extends along a lengthwise direction of the horizontally oriented container between the first and second ends. The slot is positioned along an upper portion of the horizontally oriented container. For example, if the horizontally oriented container is tube-shaped, the slot is provided at an uppermost point on the circumference of a horizontally oriented tube directly across from a point on the tube that contacts an underlying surface such a transom of the fishing vessel.

  • Publication number: 20060041330
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for checking the accuracy of a prescription fill in a pharmacy that includes activating an electronic scale coupled to a network, providing a user the ability to access a prescription to fill and displaying to the user data associated with the prescription. The method also includes providing the user the ability to cause data to be entered that is associated with a stock container selected by the user, wherein the stock container contains a drug corresponding to the prescription; determining if the stock container selected by the user is the correct stock container to fill the prescription; and measuring a weight of a plurality of pills in the prescription. The method further includes comparing the measured weight to a predicted total weight of the plurality of pills, determining if the comparison is within an acceptable range, and generating an authorization for the prescription fill.
