Abstract: An automation apparatus for dispensing groups of individually packaged products including a storage module including a first storage bin configured to slidably receive a storage tube inserted therein; a first storage tube configured to store therein a plurality of products each contained in an individual package, the first storage tube including an end cap including a release slot to allow movement of a first individual package along a direction transverse to a longitudinal axis of the first storage tube for removal of the first individual package from the storage tube, the end cap including a retention slot configured to engage with a registration pin of the first storage bin and prevent the first storage tube from sliding out of the first storage bin; and a pick device configured to retrieve the first individual package from the first storage tube disposed in the end cap via the release slot.

Abstract: Apparatus for providing airflow within a vehicle. A first housing portion is mounted over a vehicle vent which defines an internal plenum dimensioned to receive the manually adjustable vent handle. A second adjacent plenum is defined by a second housing portion which extends to a fan port at which are mounted one or more battery powered electric motor driven fans. These fans are mounted pivotally as is the mount upon which they are supported. The apparatus may employ Pelfier devices for interior air temperature enhancements. One heatsink of these thermal devices is located within that plenum communicating with ambient or outside air, while the oppositely disposed interior air treatment heatsink is located within an adjacent forwardly positioned plenum. A low battery detector and annunciator assures maintenance of the vehicle battery power supply.
