Abstract:

A method for automated identification of the correctness of the identity of an item which has an associated primary identifier of a first machine readable type includes associating a separate, secondary identifier with the item prior to the time that verification of the correctness of the item is sought, the secondary identifier being of a second, machine readable, non-contact type. The primary identifier is read using a machine to provide primary identification information. The secondary identifier is also read using a machine to provide secondary identification information. The primary identification information and the secondary identification information are compared and the identity of the item is confirmed only if the comparison results in a match.

Abstract:

A system for receiving oral human discharge which includes a pail, container, or like receptacle having an open space for the receipt of such discharge, e.g. vomit, phlegm, etc. The receptacle is configured to be positioned within an opening in the upper section of a stand. An intermediate section extends between the upper section and a lower section. The lower section is designed to be removeably inserted between the mattress and frame platform or box spring of a bed or the cushions of a couch. The stand and, hence, the receptacle are thus positioned directly adjacent to the sick child, providing ready access for immediate use. Two receptacles are provided in stocked relation, so that when one is being cleaned, the other remains within the opening in the stand, ready for use.
