  • Patent number: 11069433
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for delivering single-dose packages sequentially from a substantially continuous strip having a first dispensing end and a second end, e.g., contained within a cassette or other dispenser. The strip includes a cover layer attached to a base layer to define a plurality of blisters therebetween that have one or more medications therein. The blisters are aligned in single file generally along the longitudinal axis between the first and second ends and/or otherwise arranged in single-dose packages adjacent one another, e.g., at least some of the single-dose packages including a plurality of blisters having different types of medications therein. A first single-dose package at the first dispensing end may be separable from a second adjacent single-dose package such that individual single-dose packages may be removed successively from the first dispensing end.

  • Patent number: 5066921
    Abstract: A radome diagnostic system comprises a rotatably mounted turntable having support memebers for supporting a radome in a radome support area on the turntable, and a scanning assembly on the turntable for supporting a probe antenna in the radome support area and for translating the probe antenna in perpendicular x and y directions to cover a predetermined planar scanning area. A reference antenna is mounted on the turntable to provide a reference signal, and both the reference antenna and the probe antenna are connected to a suitable receiver for receiving signals from them and for suitably analyzing the collected data. A transmitter is located at a position remote from the turntable to direct radiation towards a radome mounted on the turntable. The probe antenna will detect radiation as degraded or modified by the effect of the presence of the radome in the radiation path. The reference antenna receives unperturbed radiation.
