An automated health product dispensary library, according to one embodiment includes storage slots configured to receive health product cartridges that have health products therein; and an accessor, configured to transport tape cartridges, for transporting the health product cartridges. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in additional embodiments.

Automated health product dispensary library

A power system which includes a battery (or string of batteries) as well as a preemptive fuse driver, PFD, system. The PFD protection system reliably protects circuits that could be damaged by long term fault currents. More specifically, the PFD protection system includes a sensor and a controller as well as a controlled switch. The controller includes a PFD control module which allows protection to be tuned specifically to the source and load characteristics.

A fan venturi blockage detector for a DC electric fan and an associated method are disclosed employing a current detector for measuring the input current to the DC electric fan, and a processor connected to the current detector. The processor stores the measured input current value for the minimum input current to the fan under normal operating conditions, and sets a minimum current threshold at a value less than the normal operating condition measured current. The processor compares subsequent measured input current values with the minimum current threshold value, and provides an error signal upon the subsequent measured input current having a value equal to or less than the minimum current threshold value.
