Publication number: 20070141208Abstract: Various packages for consumable products are disclosed. The package may include a supporting member made from a rigid material. The supporting member includes a first panel adjacent to a second panel. The panels are directly attached or indirectly attached at one end and have an opposite open end. A first group of consumable products is supported by the first panel, while a second group of consumable products is supported by the second panel.

Patent number: 6816331Abstract: Tape cartridge picker including a turntable that rotates in a fixed base to interface with at least one tape cartridge storage location and at least one tape drive. The turntable includes a cavity configured to receive a tape cartridge. The cavity is defined in the turntable about a central axis of rotation so that once received in the cavity, the tape cartridge may be rotated within the turntable for delivery to one of the at least one storage location and the at least one tape drive. Tape cartridges are loaded onto the turntable using a translation arm that extends horizontally from the turntable to engage or hook a tape cartridge and pull the tape cartridge into the cavity. Tape cartridges are unloaded from the turntable by extending the translation arm to slide the tape cartridge out of the cavity and into one of the at least one storage location and the at least one tape drive.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2001Date of Patent: November 9, 2004Assignee: Quantum CorporationInventors: Ryan Stuart Porter, John C.

Patent number: 6693758Abstract: The tape cartridge transport magazine receives and stores tape cartridges in a horizontal orientation relative to the tape cartridge transport magazine to achieve a substantially smaller form factor. Once loaded into the magazine, the tape cartridges are shuffled in a vertical closed loop within the magazine so that any one of the tape cartridges can be positioned for selection by a cartridge picker. During shuffling within the magazine, individual tape cartridges are not flipped or reoriented, but remain properly oriented for selection by the cartridge picker. When used with a tape cartridge autoloader/library system as disclosed herein, a pair of interchangeable magazines can be utilized to store and provide tape cartridges for selection by a rotating cartridge picker.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2001Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Quantum CorporationInventors: Scott Ryan Patterson, Paddy Eliot Collins, Ryan Stuart Porter, Peter A.
