Abstract: In one example, a system comprises an array comprising selected memory cells; an input block configured to apply, to each selected memory cell, a series of input signals to a terminal of the selected memory cell in response to a series of input bits; and an output block for generating an output of the selected memory cells, the output block comprising an analog-to-digital converter to convert current from the selected memory cells into a digital value, a shifter, an adder, and a register; wherein the shifter, adder, and register are configured to receive a series of digital values in response to the series of input bits, shift each digital value in the series of digital values based on a bit location of an input bit within the series of input bits, and add results of the shift operations to generate an output indicating values stored in the selected memory cells.

Abstract: A tamper-evident securement device for use in securing closed a drawer of a furniture, comprising: a flexible extending closure member comprising an at least partially flexible attaching portion disposed within the furniture, and a flexible locking portion comprising a distal end section that traverses a gap between the drawer and a drawer opening when the drawer is closed, and provides an aperture that is disposed outside the furniture; and a securement member disposed within the furniture that attaches the extending closure member to an inner surface of a top side of the furniture; wherein a lock device can be inserted through the aperture of the flexible locking portion. The tamper-evident securement device may employ a shield plate. For installation of the tamper-evident securement device, an implement may be utilized.

Abstract: New sandwich product, particularly a fast food sandwich product that contains appreciable amounts of salad ingredients, and to a salad insert suitable for use in such sandwich product to improve the diet of the consumer. The sandwich product can include a layer of a meat or protein portion with the layer of a wrapped salad portion that are placed on or enclosed between a bread portion. The wrapped salad portion uses an edible wrapper to enclose the salad ingredients. The edible wrapper can be an edible processed wrapper such as rice paper or soy paper, or an edible natural wrapper such as a lettuce leaf or cabbage leaf, or a combination thereof. An edible humectant can be used in the source of water used for moistening a dried sheet of a rice paper for improving the resistance to drying of a moistened rice paper. Salad dressing can be injected through the outer layer of the wrapped salad portion using a needle.

Abstract: A device for securing closed a drawer of a dresser, cabinet or desk. The device includes a base that is secured to an interior surface of the frame, which cannot be accessed when the drawer is closed within the drawer opening of the frame, and an extending member. The extending member has a first end portion that attaches releasably to the base, and a second end that extends exteriorly through the drawer opening and between the drawer and the frame. The device is not built into or integral with the drawer or the frame of the dresser, cabinet or desk.

Abstract: An automated method and system for transitioning a bottle from a horizontal belt conveyor to the entrance of an air conveyor, and vice versa, from an air conveyor to a horizontal belt conveyor. An indexer in a circular arrangement moves around 180 degrees clockwise until the bottle drops into the air conveyor (e.g., pneumatic tube). This motion controls the bottle's movement; otherwise, the bottle would free-fall off the conveyor. The indexer rotary device provides control of the vial transition, keeping it vertical so it goes into the tube in a controlled manner.

Abstract: An automated vial feed system for an automated prescription filling system. The system has a plurality of sensors located above a vial distribution table for controlling the pace of vial delivery to the table. The sensors determine the load of vials on the table and a control system uses the information as feedback to the vial delivery system.

Abstract: A system and method for delivering a product such as a pharmacy bottle from a conveyor system to a delivery container via a delivery chute. A sensor is placed at a top opening of the chute to sense for product in the chute area and to provide instructions to complete the delivery order if the chute area is clear.

Abstract: A system and method for delivering a product such as a pharmacy bottle from a conveyor system to a delivery container via a delivery chute. A control system in communication with the components of the system detects when a product is ready for release into the chute for delivery based on information obtained by a scanner on the conveyor system.

Abstract: A locking system for the file drawers of a standard file cabinet, and in particular a steel-constructed file cabinet. The system includes a locking device and a locking means, the locking device having an elongated bar that includes a locking end and an opposing attaching end. The attaching end can include a laterally-extending upturned wall at its forward end that hooks or clasps to an interior wall along the upper edge of the file drawer frame. The locking means is a ratcheting lock that releasably and ratchetingly engage teeth along an edge of the elongated bar. The attaching end can be adhesively or magnetically held in place as the locking end is extended through a slot opening between the file drawer and the drawer opening frame as the file drawer is closed, and the ratcheting lock secures the locking device and the closed drawer from opening.
