Title: Multi-shelf merchandise dispenser with pivotally mounted biased gates
Inventor: LOWENBRAUN HOWARD
IPC: A47F3/024
Filed: 2009-08-14
Abstract: A display cradle for storing and dispensing containers such as beverage cans and bottles.  Containers are loaded from the rear of the display cradle onto shelves sloping downward from the back of the display cradle to the front of the display cradle. The bottom shelf of the display cradle includes an exit port at the front of the assembly, allowing containers to be removed from the display cradle. The display cradle includes an exit channel between a front wall and the front end of the shelves where the containers from each shelf drop through towards the exit port. A  gate at the front end of each shelf pivots under the weight of the containers, allowing the front-most container on each shelf to enter the exit channel while preventing subsequent containers from entering the exit channel. When the containers have exited the exit channel, the biased gate tilts back allowing the next container on each shelf to repeat the sequence.  The biased gates on each shelf may operate in unison with each other.

Abstract: Provided is a kneading member, which is rotationally driven on a shaft of rotation arranged at the bottom portion in a pot thereby to knead a material in the pot. The kneading member is equipped with a blade portion having a bottom face of a generally semi-elliptical peripheral edge, a sloped face on the side face of the blade portion, and a rising face on back face of the blade portion in the rotational direction. The sloped face is shaped to turn the material to be kneaded, on the sloped face. According to this constitution, the dough material in the pocket is scooped up and turned on the kneading member, and is popped up and thrown away toward the inner periphery of the pot. As a result, a direct and high pushing force can be applied from the whole area of the pot inner periphery to the dough material pushed by the kneading member, so that the material can be effectively kneaded by using the whole area of the pot inner periphery effectively.

Abstract: A charged particle beam transport system and method for linear accelerators includes a lens stack having two electrodes serially arranged along an acceleration axis between a charged particle source, and a linear accelerator. After producing and extracting a bunch of charged particles (i.e. particle beam) from the particle source, a voltage difference between the two electrodes is ramped in time to longitudinally compress the particle beam to be shorter than the pulsewidth of acceleration pulses produced in the accelerator. Additional electrodes may be provided in the lens stack for performing transverse focusing of the charged particle bunch and controlling a final beam spot size independent of the current and energy of the particle beam. In a traveling wave accelerator embodiment having a plurality of independently switchable pulse-forming lines, beam transport can also be controlled by triggering multiple adjacent lines simultaneously so that the physical size of the accelerating electric field is longer than the charged particle bunch, as well as by controlling trigger timing of the pulse-forming lines to perform alternating phase focusing.
