Abstract: A non-circular can end for a container having walls which form an opening includes a corner-mounted pull tab opener secured to a severable panel portion by an integral rivet. The corner-mounted opener facilitates easy opening of the can end. A pair of generally parallel bead recesses on either side of the integral rivet stiffen the severable panel portion in order to facilitate bending of the panel aft of the rivet to easily open the can end. The severable panel optionally further includes a mustache-shaped scoreline to reduce the amount of force required to lift the opener. Tooling and a conversion press for converting shells into the non-circular can ends are also disclosed.

Abstract: An assessment system for assessing a company comprises a geographical location stage operative to derive geographical data representative of the geographical location of one or more shareholders of the company and its advisors, and an analysis stage operative to analyze the geographical data to provide an indication of the investment potential of shares of the company. The analysis stage typically generated a visual representation of the location of shareholders, and in particular, geographical concentrations of shareholders in the locality of offices of the company. Locations of employee or director shareholders are given special emphasis in the display. A recommendation to invest in a company may be given where the number of shareholders (particularly employee or director shareholders) in a location close to offices of the company exceeds a threshold value.
