Abstract: A puck is provided for releasably gripping a closure element (50) to be moved along a predetermined path and mated to a container. The puck includes a main body (20) and a gripper assembly (30) associated with the main body (20) for releasably gripping the closure element. The gripper assembly comprises first and second opposing arms (32, 34) connected to the main body. The first arm has two first gripper members (32c) mounted thereto and the second arm has two second gripper members (34c) mounted thereto. The first and second arms are movable between a retracted position and a gripper position. The first gripper members are rotatable independent of the arms for effecting rotation of the closure element to permit the closure element to be mated to the container. The gripper assembly further includes first and second spring-biased support members (38a, 38b) connected to the first and second arms for movement between first and second positions. The first and second support members define a shelf when positioned in the first position for supporting the closure element when the closure element comprises a cap and is movable to the second position by the closure element when the closure element comprises a sprayer head.

Abstract: The present invention makes a directional control means for a specimen carrier unnecessary, reduces costs, and saves time. A high friction member 102 is provided on the bottom surface of a specimen carrier 100, thereby offsetting the center 14 of the frictional force 11 between the bottom surface and a conveyance surface, at a position separate from the rotational center of the bottom part of the specimen carrier 100. As a result, the friction between the conveyance surface and the bottom surface during conveyance of the specimen carrier 100 aligns the orientation of the specimen carrier 100 with respect to a conveyance direction 10, and makes it possible to make a carrier ID 101 and a specimen ID label 151 face towards a barcode reader.

Abstract: An embodiment is a sample analysis system for analyzing a sample that includes at least one test device for analyzing the sample. The system also includes a rack handler operable to move a sample from a first location to a second location along a travel path. The rack handler has a rotation assembly including a) an engagement element for engagement with the sample rack, and b) a motor coupled to the engagement element and is operable to cause rotation of the engagement element. The rotation assembly rotates the sample rack from a first orientation into a second orientation along the travel path when the engagement element engages the sample rack.

Abstract: An automated method and system for a conveyor holding system for holding vials of a multi-vial order in a holding pattern until all vials of the order have been filled by an automatic pill counter. The system uses RFID information to divert vials off the conveyor into the conveyor holding loop if all vials of the multi-vial order have not been filled. The system is adapted to divert the vials of the multi-vial order out of the holding loop when all vials of the multi-vial order have been filled.

Abstract: A vacuum holder for articles, a combination of a vacuum holder and an article, a system for holding and conveying articles, and a method for holding and conveying articles are disclosed. The vacuum holder includes a main body having a surface and an air passageway leading to the surface, and a valve joined to the main body and in fluid communication with the air passageway. An article can be placed adjacent to the surface of the main body, and a vacuum can be drawn through the air passageway to hold the article to the vacuum holder. The valve maintains the vacuum between the article and the vacuum holder without being connected to a vacuum source, until it is desired to release the article from the vacuum holder.

Abstract: A carrier for receiving and restraining a container against rotation during an automated filling and capping operation includes an array of modular container housings. A bumper is disposed below the housing and projects outwardly to cushion the carrier against impact. The bumper is supported by a base. Structure extends from the housing through the bumper and into the base to secure the carrier. One housing module includes a recess having container abutment surfaces and angled surfaces at the opening to guide a container into engagement with the abutments. One housing module includes a recess having ribs separated by relief vents to relieve air pressure as a container is loaded into the carrier. One housing module includes a container holder having a pair of upright supports separated by side openings. The bumper and the base each including a weight positioned at a selected location to uphold the filled container.
