A dispensing system and method for delivering material to a washing device using a capacitance sensor configuration is disclosed. The capacitance sensor configuration allows a controller to monitor and determine a flow rate of fluid exiting a reservoir. The dispensing system uses the flow rate information, along with downstream conductivity information, to control the dispensing of material. Additionally, one or more error conditions are identified during the material delivery cycle based at least partially on the monitored conductivity and capacitance.

A dispensing system for individual bandages includes a pack of separable adhesive bandages releasably joined at one end, and having separation strips joining adjacent bandages. A dispenser holds the pack at the one end so that individual bandages can be pulled manually out through a slot in the dispenser. The separation strip pulls the next bandage in the pack into position in the slot when one bandage is removed. The dispenser comprises a base and a cover, hinged about an axis such that the cover swings towards the opening slot. A flange element extends inwardly from the front wall of said dispenser, overlying a portion of said bandage pack so as to prevent removal of the pack from the slotted opening of said dispenser, but permit retrieval of individual bandages.

In accordance with the principals of the present invention, a cold tube is adapted to securely surround the beverage can, the cold tube utilizing high heat capacity/thermal mass to wick heat from the beverage in the beverage can. Contained within the cold tube, a plurality of fins are provided thus acting as a heatsink. The presence of the fins act as a heatsink by increasing convective, conductive, and radiative heat dissipation if used in the absence of the cold tube and conductive heat dissipation if used with the cold tube.

A system and method utilizing a robotic arm to prepare a food product such as a meat for cooking and then subsequently assembling a sandwich from the cooked meat is disclosed. In addition, the robotic arm may also be used to wrap the assembled sandwich in a wrapper. The system may utilize a wire basket with a basket adapter, or handle, to allow the robotic arm to easily maneuver the basket and also utilize a wrapping assist device to wrap a wrapper around the assembled sandwich.

In accordance with the principals of the present invention, a furnace unit adapted to be installed in-line with a fuel source of a furnace modulates natural gas or propane to reduce fuel consumption, minimize temperature overshoot, and reduce furnace short cycling. A modulator is contained with the furnace unit. The modulator is in gaseous communication with the in-line gas fuel source. A furnace sensor senses furnace criteria related to the operation of the furnace. A microcontroller receives from the furnace sensor furnace criteria and controls the modulator based on the furnace criteria. In a further aspect of the invention, an environmental sensor can be provided to sense environmental criteria related to the operation of the furnace. In a further aspect of the invention, a base unit in electrical communication with the furnace unit can be provided, the base unit determining energy consumption usage and savings.
