Abstract: A system and method for securely storing and retrieving prescriptions. The system may include storage containers into which the prescriptions may be placed, a storage matrix with an outer housing and compartments for the storage containers, a transport system, scanners, and a control system. The transport system within the outer housing may selectively move the storage containers attached to the attachment device to locations or coordinates of any of the compartments. The control system may command the transport system to relocate any of the storage containers from one of the compartments to another of the compartments and may track locations of the prescriptions based on information from the scanners or other sensors for later retrieval by authorized user.

Abstract: An interconnect assembly includes an optical fiber cable, legs, connectors, and covers. The optical fiber cable includes a jacket and sub-units. The jacket has an interior defining a passage and the sub-units extend through the passage and include optical fibers extending lengthwise through the sub-units. The legs of the interconnect assembly extend from the passage on an end of the jacket, where the legs are continuations of or extensions from the sub-units such that the optical fibers further extend through the legs. The connectors are attached to the optical fibers on distal ends of the legs and the covers are attached to the connectors. The covers each include an end having a track for wrapping one or more of the legs over in order to package the legs and connectors, such as for placement of the legs and connectors within a pulling grip for installation of the interconnect assembly through a duct.

Abstract: A multi-fiber fiber optic connector is configured to include a switchable polarity key that can be used to define first and second polarity configurations for the connector. The connector has a multi-fiber ferrule surrounded by an inner housing. The inner housing has top and bottom recesses sized to accommodate the polarity key. The polarity key is removably secured in either a top or bottom recess using a latching feature. The polarity of the connector can be switched by moving the polarity key from one position in the connector to the other rather than having to disassemble the connector.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for applying a label to a specific location on a vial. The apparatus may comprise a label dispenser, a vial placement assembly for orienting the vial and placing it onto a track, a pushing device for pushing the vial down the track into an adhesive side of the label, and a labeling gate for contacting a non-adhesive side of the label to smooth the label onto the vial. The apparatus may further comprise a label positioning device for correcting unwanted curling of the label, a stopper positioned to engage a portion of the pushing device as the vial contacts the label to cause the pushing device to release the vial, and a label-release switch configured to signal for the label dispenser to release a trailing edge of the label once the vial contacts the labeling gate.

Abstract: A cushion made of resilient polymer is a push fit onto the edge or corner of a sheet of glass or other sheet material susceptible to chipping. The cushion is of modified U-section having a shock absorbing bed and upstanding legs which define a sheet receiving slot. The legs diverge when the sheet is inserted and exert a gripping force sufficient to retain the cushion when the sheet is carried.

Abstract: A coordinated video presentation comprises a plurality of sets of video content that is displayed in display areas on a display. The display areas each correspond to a video session playing one of the sets of video content. The display areas move on trajectories. Video objects can move among the video sessions. The display may display controls or other interactive graphical user interface elements. A user can interact with the interactive elements that are not obstructed by the coordinated video session.

Abstract: A number of classes are received. Each class has a number of classification rules. A result is output indicating a first class of the number of classes conflicts with a second class of the number of classes upon determining that at least one of classification rules of the first class overlaps with one of the classification rules of the second class.

Abstract: Network elements at endpoints of a data connection are identified. A network path is generated between the network elements at the endpoints. The network path is validated by determining whether the network path provides at least one service requirement. The service requirement may be a minimum bandwidth requirement, a maximum bandwidth requirement, a maximum delay requirement, a maximum jitter requirement, a reliability requirement, a requirement that the network path includes network elements capable of acting as security gateways that bracket untrusted sections of the network path, a reachability requirement, or a data collection capability requirement. Network elements along a validated network path are configured to implement the service requirement. In one embodiment, the configuration performed on the network elements is recorded.

Abstract: A storage and dispensing system (10) for storing and dispensing pre-packaged pharmaceutical products (12) and other products. The system includes a cabinet (14); a plurality of product conveyors (16) mounted within the cabinet and each configured for holding at least one product; an infeed conveyor (18) for receiving products that are to be stored in the cabinet; an outfeed conveyor (20) for receiving products that are to be dispensed from the cabinet; and a transporter (22) moveable within the cabinet for transporting products between the product conveyors and the infeed and outfeed conveyors for storing products in or dispensing products from the cabinet.

Abstract: Providing different levels of quality of service for different data flows being transported over a data link requires a very fast way to schedule individual packets for forwarding on the data link. The invention provides scheduling methods which give preference to higher priority packets while treating lower priority packets fairly. The methods can provide shorter latencies for higher priority packets than can many prior scheduling methods. The methods and apparatus of the invention are readily adaptable for use with scheduling rules provided in the form of hierarchical policy trees.

Abstract: A network policy management system and methods define service templates. The service templates contain information on the topologies of services such as video calls, web services, order processing applications, or the like. The service templates also contain information about the quality of service required by each of the data flows which will be generated when an instance of the service is used. The policy management system allows users to add new services by selecting a service template and specifying endpoints for the service on a map of the network. The system automatically generates updated packet forwarding rules for use at a plurality of packet processing devices in the network.

Abstract: An automatic medicament dispensing machine (10) that does not remain idle while medicaments are transferred to a vial and counted and that therefore dispenses medicaments at a much faster rate. The machine includes a cabinet (12); a plurality of medicament dispensing cells (14) arranged in the cabinet for holding and dispensing medicaments; a plurality of medicament counting units (18) each including a vial gripper for holding a vial and a transfer mechanism for transferring medicaments from one of the medicament dispensing cells to the vial; and a transporter (20) for transporting the counting units to the cells for filling the vials held by the counting units.

Abstract: A printer intercept apparatus (10) operable to monitor communication between a first system (12) and a printer (14), create a second instance of original signals sent therebetween, and forward the second signals to a second system (16), and do so without interfering with communication or data flow between the first system (12) and printer (14).
