Abstract: An improved squeeze chute, which may be portable or stationary, includes a frame having an entrance end, an exit end, a first side, a second side, an upper end and a lower end. A first squeeze sidewall is positioned on a first side of the frame and a second sidewall is positioned on a second side of the frame. The sidewalls are movable between inner and outer positions with respect to the frame by pivot arms that pivotally link each sidewall to a single hydraulically actuatable slide rail assembly. Embodiments of the chute include entrance gate members and exit gate members. The exit gate members being movable horizontally between open and closed positions by hydraulic actuation. Embodiments of the chute include a removeable and vertically adjustable sternum bar that is receivable into a receiver bar at the exit end of the chute.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and data processing system for importing test specifications from a design document into testing software for performing testing in a manufacturing environment is disclosed. A design document is written in a structured format, within a spreadsheet, word-processor document, XML file, or other document. Importer software extracts the testing information from the structured format and translates the information into a format that is readable by testing software. The translated information is then submitted to the testing software for testing the product described in the design document.
