  • Publication number: 20090050442
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method are provided for transporting objects. A transporter includes a chamber and a carrier in the chamber. The chamber has an inlet, an outlet and an interior cross-section. The carrier substantially fills the cross-section of the chamber and is operable to move between first and second positions within the chamber. The carrier causes a plurality of objects that are inserted through the inlet when the carrier is in the first position to exit via the outlet as it moves from the first position to the second position. A delivery port may be coupled to the outlet of the chamber, such that objects exiting the chamber via the outlet enter the delivery port. A dispensing mechanism may inserts objects into the chamber via the inlet.

  • Publication number: 20070084909
    Abstract: A coin dispenser includes a coin canister that automatically locks into the dispenser. A remotely operated mechanism may unlock the canister from the dispenser. The dispenser may serve as a loading stand for the canister. The canister may be adapted for manual loading of coins into the canister without removing the canister from the dispenser. The canister may include a receptacle for coins and an aperture adapted to facilitate loading coins into the receptacle and to retain coins in the receptacle. The canister may include a repositionable handle that covers an aperture of the canister in one position and serves as a carrying handle in another position. A system for dispensing coins includes a controller electrically connected to a coin dispenser. The dispenser includes a coin canister and a latch that locks the canister to the dispenser. The controller can send an electrical signal that unlocks the canister.

  • Publication number: 20070029159
    Abstract: A system for handling coins employs a front end coin acceptor and validator that feeds a sorter mechanism. The sorter mechanism utilizes a substantially horizontal track module to load coins by denomination into an arrangement of bins. The coins are ejected by means of a solenoid onto the track module that provides a path according to the denomination of the coin into the proper bin.

  • Patent number: 6723998
    Abstract: A Faraday system for measuring ion beam current in an ion implanter or other ion beam treatment system includes a Faraday cup body defining a chamber which has an entrance aperture for receiving an ion beam, a suppression electrode positioned in proximity to the entrance aperture to produce electric fields for inhibiting escape of electrons from the chamber, and a magnet assembly positioned to produce magnetic fields for inhibiting escape of electrons from the chamber. The chamber may have a relatively small ratio of chamber depth to entrance aperture width.
