Abstract:
In some embodiments, the instant invention provides an exemplary method for dispensing that at least includes: initiating a movement of a dispensing object along a dispensing passage of a dispensing device; determining, by a displacement sensor, a magnitude of a displacement of the dispensing object along the dispensing passage based on remotely measuring, by the displacement sensor, a characteristic associated with the dispensing object during the movement of the dispensing object along the dispensing passage; generating an indication by the displacement sensor when the magnitude of the displacement is equal to or exceeds a pre-determined distance value; separating, based on the indication, a portion from the dispensing object to form a remaining portion of the dispensing object and a separated portion of the dispensing object; and dispensing the separated portion of the dispensing object from the dispensing device.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for dispensing, comprising:\n a) initiating a movement of a dispensing object along a dispensing passage of a dispensing device, wherein the movement is initiated from a pre-set starting position; b) determining, by at least one displacement sensor, a magnitude of a displacement of the dispensing object along the dispensing passage based on remotely measuring, by the at least one displacement sensor, at least one characteristic associated with the dispensing object during the movement of the dispensing object along the dispensing passage; c) generating at least one first indication by the at least one displacement sensor when the magnitude of the displacement is equal to or exceeds a pre-determined distance value; d) separating, based on the at least one first indication, a portion from the dispensing object to form a remaining portion of the dispensing object and a separated portion of the dispensing object, e) moving the remaining portion of the dispensing object back to the pre-set starting position; and f) dispensing the separated portion of the dispensing object from the dispensing device.
