Abstract:
To readily detect the taking-out of an object contained in a blister pack, there is provided a detection apparatus for detecting a timing at which a contained object is taken out from a blister pack including a plurality of containing portions and a plate-like portion that connects the plurality of containing portions. The apparatus includes a plate on which the blister pack is arranged, a plurality of light sources that emit light beams to the plurality of containing portions of the blister pack arranged on the plate, a plurality of sensors that receive the light beams emitted from the light sources, and also output electrical signals corresponding to light reception intensities, and a detector that detects the presence/absence of contained objects in the respective containing portions based on the electrical signals output from the plurality of sensors.

Claim (Index 4):
The detection apparatus according to  claim 2 , further comprising an opening/closing detector of said cover,\n wherein said opening/closing detector causes said light sources to emit the light beams using, as a trigger, detection of closing of said cover, and causes said sensors to receive the light beams, thereby detecting the presence/absence of the contained objects in the respective containing portions.
