Disclosed is a system for collecting, sorting, counting and consolidating an unorganized pool of solid or semi-solid articles such as pills for dispensation. Specifically, the articles are extracted from inside a bin using attraction points on a transport substrate and sorted into containers in finite quantities. The system consists of several components, preferably including a torque source, a counter and a vacuum source, which are uniquely integrated onto a single end-effector to reduce cost and redundancy by servicing several bins. Further, the system presents a method of attracting and carrying pills using negative vacuum pressure, gravity and centrifugal force. This centrifugal force holds articles to the local attraction points and is provided by the spinning of the transport substrate. Pills are collected from the bin or plenum at the local attraction points, counted, cleaved from the local attraction points and guided to a container or vial.

Minimalist approach to roadway electrification

Method of commerce and system components that enable the sale of electricity on-request to independent vehicle operators for propulsion. Electricity could be delivered by conventional roadway overhead electric line components (see FIG. 2). Vehicles would be equipped with a computer-like component that contains an electricity meter, flow switches, and wireless communications capabilities (see FIG. 14) to communicate with an operations (12) computer site. Site would have customer credit profiles for approving distribution, wirelessly requested from customer vehicles. Vehicles would be additionally equipped with a robotic collector module (51). If implemented on a highway, the driver would request service while driving in an electrified lane via a user interface and, if approved, the robotic collector module (51) handles engaging electrical contact and disengaging when needed. Customer would be electronically billed for the electricity used. There is a continuous roadside monitoring network for improved safety and vehicle authentication (see FIG. 11, 12).

Integrated FIFO memory management control system using a credit value

An integrated data controller that utilizes a first-in first-out (FIFO) management system that compensates for the unpredictable nature of latency associated with requesting data from memory and enables the timing of data requests to be determined based on the number of pending requests and the amount of data currently residing in the buffer. The FIFO management system includes a FIFO controller and a FIFO buffer that monitor a credit value and a trigger value to determine when to make data request bursts upon a memory unit. The trigger value is an indication of whether there is a sufficient amount of free space for it to be beneficial to make a data request burst and the credit value is a number that indicates the number of a data blocks that should be requested in the data request burst.

Apparatus and method for near-field imaging of tissue

Using pulsed or continuous-wave sources, broadband electromagnetic energy generally in the 10 MHz to 300 GHz range is applied through one or a plurality of near-field antennas such as coaxial probe tips. The electromagnetic energy reflected from the surface or transmitted through the near surface of the object (e.g. surface of skin or other tissue or cells) is detected, and the ratio of the test measurement to that from normal tissue is recorded and presented to determine the degree of dielectric contrast, hence inhomogeneity. This degree of contrast is used both on its own and in conjunction with simultaneously acquired optical images to map the boundary of an organ inhomogeneity such as a tumor. The bundle of antennas may be scanned over a surface of the object on a pixel-by-pixel basis to determine the spectra of the sample on a pixel-by-pixel basis, allowing a two dimensional display of the absorption spectra to be provided.
