The ramp assembly is slightly inclined so as to allow cylindrical articles to be rollingly advanced by means of gravity from an upper portion between the panels in the chute to a lower portion, and a removal area is disposed proximate the lower portion of the chute for allowing selective removal of one or more of the articles from the dispenser. A parallel pair of spaced and horizontally disposed elongated shelf bars are supported on opposite ends and provide front and rear dispenser support bars, and corresponding spaced front and rear support saddles depend downwardly from the dispenser and are positioned to respectively register over and engage the front and rear support bars instead of supporting the dispensers on a conventional shelf. Each ramp assembly includes a central raised ramp surface running with the chute for engagement with a rolling article to be dispensed, and side relief channels are provided on opposite sides of the ramp surface to receive annularly protruding end rims of an article, such as a can, rolling down the ramp surface whereby side surfaces of the article will remain in rolling contact with the ramp surface.

| 20100096401 | Modular article storage and dispensing assembly - A modular article storage and dispensing assembly which includes a side-by-side series of article dispensers for storing and advancing articles for removal. A series of support shelves are positioned end-to-end and supported from upright supports and each shelf section includes at least two spaced and horizontally disposed elongated parallel shelf bars supported on opposite ends by end brackets. The end brackets are removably securable to the upright supports. Support saddles depend downwardly from each of the dispensers and are positioned respectively to register over and engage the support bars to thereby support the dispensers. The support shelf end brackets are relieved and contoured to conform to the contours of the shelf bars whereby the support saddles may be supported on the support bars at the bracket locations, as well as between end brackets, thereby permitting a continuous side-by-side uninterrupted supported series of the article dispensers. The support saddles which are positioned over a forward positioned bar of the support shelves have downwardly facing C-shaped configurations with downwardly depending front and rear legs that are dimensioned and contoured to slide downwardly over the forward support bar. The rear leg of this C-shaped saddle is shorter than the front leg to thereby permit ease of removal of the dispensers from the support bars. A low stock indicator is also provided on the dispenser for indicating that restock of articles in the dispenser is required. | 04-22-2010 |

| 20080216036 | SLACK SENSITIVITY TO PARAMETER VARIATION BASED TIMING ANALYSIS - A method, system and program product are disclosed for improving an IC design that prioritize failure coefficients of slacks that lead to correction according to their probability of failure. With an identified set of independent parameters, a sensitivity analysis is performed on each parameter by noting the difference in timing, typically on endpoint slacks, when the parameter is varied. This step is repeated for every independent parameter. A failure coefficient is then calculated from the reference slack and the sensitivity of slack for each of the timing endpoints and a determination is made as to whether at least one timing endpoint fails a threshold test. Failing timing endpoints are then prioritized for modification according to their failure coefficients. The total number of runs required is one run that is used as a reference run, plus one additional run for each parameter. | 09-04-2008 |
