Systems and methods of bun holding and toasting use a bun dispenser and a toaster. The bun dispenser includes a bun holding cabinet in which a plurality of buns are held on shelves and each of the shelves include conveyors. A shuttle of the bun dispenser translates within at least one axis to align the shuttle with a shelf to receive a bun. A dispensing shelf of the bun dispenser receives the bun from the shuttle. A toaster receives the bun from the dispensing shelf and operates to toast the bun and dispense the toasted bun at a predetermined location.

A protective dental needle includes a sheath having a cylindrical body with a channel along the cylindrical body. A needle assembly includes a hypodermic needle extending through a hub. The needle assembly is retained within the sheath and movable within the sheath between a retracted position and an extended position. A needle cap is positioned external to the sheath. The needle cap includes a plurality of longitudinal ribs that extend from an interior surface of the needle cap.

A tamper-evident closure for containers includes a closure shell having a top surface and a depending skirt. The top surface defines a first aperture therethrough and a frangible portion. The skirt defines an open lower end for engaging a container. A tamper-evident tearable member overlies the top surface of the closure shell and defines a second aperture overlying the first aperture. A removable closure cap overlies the top surface of the closure shell and the tearable member. The closure cap has an annular ring projecting downwardly from an underside of the closure cap and extending through the first and second apertures. The annular ring attaches to an underside of the frangible portion. At least partial removal of the closure cap from the top surface of the closure shell peels the frangible portion away from the top surface of the closure shell along the scoring, and tears the tamper-evident member.

The closure cap has an annular ring () projecting downwardly from an under-side of the closure cap and extending through the first and second apertures. The annular ring attaches to an underside of the frangible portion. At least partial removal of the closure cap from the top surface of the closure shell peels the frangible portion away from the top surface of the closure shell along the scoring, and tears the tamper-evident member.

An ophthalmic examination suite includes an instrument delivery stand, a base coupled with the instrument delivery stand and including a base plate, a carriage moveable on the base plate, and a chair supported by the carriage and configured to receive a seated patient thereon. The chair is laterally moveable with the carriage between an examination position and a stowed position. A space is created next to the chair when the chair is in the stowed position, and the space is configured to receive a wheelchair during an eye examination.
