The use of semiconductor memories in drug dispensing

Author

Abstract

"This paper presents the problems encountered and the methods used during the design of an electronic system to be an integral part of a medical drug dispensing machine. The system has a memory composed of both random access and read only memories to enable it to operate, along with many such machines , from one data input line. The system accepts information such as patient's name, social security number, and drug location number. It also provides signal drive to an attached printer in order to reproduce this information for use on the drug label. Finally, the system electronics accepts input data in the ASCII code and provides an inherent checking ability for machine number and drug location number"--Abstract, page ii.
