Monarch DunesRead MoreAt Monarch Dunes Golf Club, the links-style golf of coastal Britannia stretches out in the hills of California. Amid windswept dunes and eucalyptus trees sweep coastal views speckled with amber hillsides and big blue skies. And this is just how architects Damian Pascuzzo and PGA Tour Pro Steve Pate wanted it. But they also wanted something beyond beautiful vistas. They wanted a unique 30-hole arena that tested the mettle of golfers. On the 6,810-yard, par-71 Old Course, players unleash the full potential of their swings on the open expanses of the longer front nine before dialing back for close control on the back nine—a shorter tract made formidable by water hazards on all but two holes. Though the two halves have their own distinct flavors, both begin with mid-length par-4s. These are the course's two most difficult holes, so savvy golfers should spend extra time before the round and at the turn to give their driver an encouraging massage. While the Old Course is a grassy homage to golf's most sacred traditions, Monarch Dunes' Challenge Course charts a much more unorthodox path—and not just in its unconventional 12-hole layout. While some par-3 courses are known as "pitch-and-putts" for their short holes, The Challenge—named among the Top 10 Par-3 Courses by Golf.com—will have some reaching for a driver or three-wood on holes 5 and 12, which measure 242 and 202 yards respectively. Golfers can expect to finish the round in two hours or less, freeing up plenty of time to relax at the Butterfly Grille or shop for flame decals to glue onto their golf bag. Course at a Glance: The Challenge 12-hole, par 36 course Total length of 1,858 yards from the back tees Four tee options Scorecard Tees are designed specifically for beginners up to advanced golfers1606 Trilogy PkwyNipomo, CA US

Heat's starting lineup won't change
Updated: April 27, 2011, 9:59 AM ETBy Kevin Arnovitz | ESPN.com
MIAMI -- Despite the Miami Heat's slow first-quarter starts and the underperformance of their starting unit, coach Erik Spolestra will field the same lineup at tipoff of Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers Wednesday night.
"I don't see a need to [change] right now," Spoelstra said. "We can change what we need to within ourselves and do it with a better motor and better athleticism and better awareness to start the game."
Miami leads Philadelphia 3-1 in the best-of-seven series. ...

LONDON The aura Rafa Nadal usually carries on court may take a while to return when the Spaniard finally begins his comeback in Chile this week, according to world number three Andy Murray.
Injury-hit Nadal has not played a match since a shock defeat by outsider Lukas Rosol at Wimbledon last June but will test his suspect knee in Vina del Mar on Wednesday when he takes on Argentine Guido Pella or a qualifier in the claycourt event.
World No. 92 Pella is the kind of player usually trampled into the dirt by the 11-times grand slam champion but Murray believes Nadal could be vulnerable until he gets up to speed.
"He might not have the same (aura) straight away and you would expect people in the first few months while he is not back to his highest level and think they could possibly upset him," Murray told reporters at London's Queen's Club.
"But over time, and if Rafa wins his first three tournaments back that changes everything and people will be worrying about him again. People fearing you comes winning and confidence."
Despite just returning from a knee injury which still causes him pain, the public will be expecting Spamiard Nadal to get back in the groove quickly.
Murray, however, urged caution, although he expects Nadal to be challenging strongly for an eighth French Open title in June.
"The expectation will be high and people will expect him to do things straight away but it could take a number of weeks and months before he's back to his old self again," Murray said.
"But he's been practising for a month and half and was pressing for the Australian Open before he got sick.
"Providing his knee doesn't have a setback he will win some matches in south America and if he's physically okay by the French Open he will be in good shape."
Should Nadal, who has slipped to world number five, struggle initially for form and match-sharpness, Murray will emerge as a real title contender at Roland Garros.
"I believe I have a chance of winning the French Open," said Murray, whose best result there was a semi-final in 2011 when he lost to Nadal.
"But to do that I need to prepare and use every single day as best as I can. I have an opportunity there and I have a chance. Stranger things have happened in tennis than a player in the top four or five winning the French Open."

Present improvements in container fabricating and filling equipment and the increased production rates required for the more economical presentation of products make improvements in article handling equipment highly desirable. Previously used chain, roller and gravity handling systems may now be considered too inefficient, noisy, cumbersome or mechanically unreliable for full satisfaction of present day requirements. In order to provide improved production results, it is acknowledged that others have previously used pressurized air for moving, sorting, elevating, turning and dispensing separable articles of the type to be handled by the apparatus described herein. In general it is believed that the design, operation and results obtained from use of the applicant's new equipment provides a further improved result.
The present invention is directed to the provision of apparatus embodiments that are specifically useful for moving separate articles to and from a zone of bulk storage with the delivery therefrom being on a single piece basis and with the separate single pieces being oriented in a desired side by side relationship. The present embodiments, however, are exemplary of a series or family of inventions set forth in separate applications with each application being directed to a different or varied type of article handling equipment that is characterized by the treatment or movement imparted to the separate articles by such equipment. The present invention embodiments move multiple articles from bulk storage to a single file series arrangement and might be generally identified as single filer apparatus. Other inventions are directed to horizontal conveying apparatus with the articles in horizontal or vertical orientation; to article turning apparatus; to table accumulators, etc.
For all such air handling equipment inventions, other than the table accumulators and the bulk storage features of the present invention, an overriding concept or mode of operation is common. Such concept is inherent in the following analyses: When the individual articles are to be moved in other than a bulk arrangement, the air being impinged thereagainst will be of controlled flow, pressure and direction to hold the articles in an individually balanced straight position insofar as possible and with the air discharge being configured to a maximum extent to keep the individual articles in a single piece arrangement whereby interference between adjacent articles and the bulking of weight of multiple articles is avoided. To attain such beneficial and desirable result, novel arrangements and dispositions for pressurized jets and vents are cooperatively utilized.
FIG. 1 is a side cross-sectional elevation of a preferred embodiment of the invention,
FIG. 2 is a rearwardly directed partial cross-sectional elevation taken along the line 2--2 of FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 is an enlarged forwardly directed cross-sectional elevation taken along the line 3--3 of FIG. 1,
FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional elevation similar to that of FIG. 1 taken in the zone generally defined by the line 4--4 of FIG. 2 to show features of the cascade element of FIG. 1 in enlarged detail,
FIG. 5 is an enlarged partial cross-sectional elevation similar to that of FIG. 2 showing the position of discharge jets with respect to the size of containers being handled,
FIG. 6 is a partial top plan view of an air turning plenum disposed in position of orthographic projection with respect to FIG. 1,
FIG. 7 is a side cross-sectional elevation similar to that of FIG. 1 showing a second embodiment of the invention,
FIGS. 8 through 10 are side views similar to that of FIG. 1 schematically showing varied operational article delivery results for varied air valve and vent configurations,
FIG. 11 is a side elevation of a further embodiment of the invention,
FIG. 12 is a forwardly directed elevation taken along the line 12--12 of FIG. 11,
FIG. 13 is a side elevation showing a separate operating status of such embodiment, and
FIG. 14 is a partial top plan view of the apparatus shown in FIG. 13.
Structural and operative features of an air single filer invention embodiment are shown in FIGS. 1 through 6 and 8 through 10. In such illustrations the actual single filer components are disposed at the lower reaches of the device, and it should be understood that such air single filer components may be used together with the waterfall and bulk storage components of such illustration, or the same single filer components could be combined with other bulk storage elements and components or could be arranged in a material handling line to receive containers being delivered on a constant or intermittent basis from other container forming apparatus, or printing or filling equipment. Similarly, the air single filer components could be coupled to receive containers in bulk from pallet storage units or from bulk containers wherein bulk shipping cartons or speciality containers package the materials in an already stacked side-by-side relationship.
For purposes of identification, main components in the illustrated embodiment of the invention would include the waterfall segment or zone 12 as shown in FIG. 2, a bulk storage zone 13, and the single filer component identified by the overall zone 14. The upper limit of the single filer zone itself might be operationally defined to include an upper inclined ramp 16 and all of the cans disposed thereon that are in a relatively moving and non-bridging relationship one with respect to the other. The bulk storage zone 13 would then be intermediate the waterfall delivery component 12 and such single filer zone 14.
The waterfall component as illustrated in FIG. 2 simply includes inner and outer radius sheets 17 and 18 which are disposed apart a distance just slightly greater than the length of the containers being handled when measured along their longitudinal axes. With such arrangement each of the containers 20 will be moved in a somewhat fan arrangement wherein the containers are disposed with the longitudinal axes vertically oriented (see container 21) and disposed along the full width of the waterfall to a position where the containers are in side-by-side relationship across the width of the storage zone 13 with the longitudinal axes disposed in a substantially horizontal orientation as indicated by the container 22. The spacing between the curved sheets 17 and 18 will allow slight movement of the containers as they fall in the desired pattern, but the spacing should be closely regulated so that the outside limiting corners of the containers will not be able to tilt sufficiently to cause cocking entrapment thereof. Since the containers fall freely through the waterfall zone 12 and into the bulk storage zone 13, they will have a tendency to be self-stacking in the bulk storage zone and in a most closely nested arrangement wherein the axes of round containers as illustrated will be disposed along a 60� pyramid face angle at the zone 33 as illustrated in FIG. 1.
In the bulk storage zone 13 all of the containers 20 are supported by the upper inclined ramp 16, but the regular 60� stacked arrangement is not maintained throughout such zone, since the lower level of containers will have a tendency to move down the downwardly inclined ramp 16 in a manner that disrupts the stacked arrangement. If the upper inclined ramp 16 is disposed at an angle of 15� with respect to the horizontal, the containers 23 closely thereabove and supported by the upper ramp 16 will have a tendency to move away from the stacked 60� pyramid arrangement, and a movement down and along the ramp 16 will be instituted. The containers will fall freely off the end of the ramp 16 and the small diameter roller 34 at the end of the ramp 16 to fall into a rearwardly disposed area 35 of the single filer component 14. In such rearwardly disposed area 35 of the single filer component 14, containers, such as container 24, will have a tendency to stack in a pyramid arrangement above the lower single filer ramp 36 with the defined face of stacked pyramids of containers then being at an angle of 75� since the lower ramp 36 is itself again disposed at an angle of 15� with respect to the horizontal.
At a relatively low delivery rate of approximately 1000 cans per minute, round containers of the illustrated relative size with respect to the illustrated single filer component will have a tendency to stack up about four to five rows deep along the full length of the lower ramp 36 and to a full depth coming just up under the upper ramp 16 and the end delivery roller 34 adjacent such roller. If a deeper or lesser stack height is desired, the position of ramp 16 and delivery roller 34 may be adjusted. The containers in this rearwardly disposed area 35 and disposed along and above the ramp 36 will have a tendency to move in a regular pattern forwardly and to the left until they are pushed over an action lip 37 which defines, with the cascade ramp 38 and flow-out zone 39, an ogee curve type of weir structure wherein the cascade ramp 38 is disposed at an angle of 50�. A weir nomenclature has been used to describe this cascade element of the single filer component, since the flow of containers or the herein illustrated round cans in the area limited by this ogee curve structure is quite similar to that which might be observed over the spillway or weir of an ogee curved dam. In fact, the construction configuration and size relationships for this cascade element, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, has been closely determined and regulated to provide a smooth transition from an accumulated bulk type storage to a single line, single depth, side-by-side arrangement for round containers that are to be moved from a zone of bulk storage. The angular disposition of the delivery ramp 36, the resultant pyramid face disposition of 75� for the cans disposed thereabove, and the 50� disposition for the cascade ramp 38 provides an arrangement in which the cans in the previous stacked pyramid arrangement, but at a position now out of contact with the ramp 36, have a tendency to push the cans that are on the ramp 38 in a forward direction and apart one from the other so that the cans above and out of contact with the weir shaped cascade element will tend to move downwardly and into contact with the cascade ramp and flow-out zone 39 as the containers are moved out of the bulk storage zone.
The mechanical forces operative are best understood in connection with FIG. 4 where the line 41 would indicate the disposition of an initial pyramid support face angle of 75� and would correspond to the direction of a gravitational force acting along such line. Line 42 interconnecting the axis of cans 25 and 26 indicates a force line of increased angle tending to separate these cans as they move down the cascade surface 38 so that the can 25 can move into position behind can 26. In addition to the direct weight forces acting along lines 41 and 42, it should be observed that the cans will tend to rotate in the directions indicated by the solid curved arrows as they move along the ramp 36 and along the cascade 38. Accordingly, the tendency to move into a single file arrangement will be enhanced. At the bottom of the cascade 38 and in the flow-out zone 39 a near solid contact arrangement for the cans, or a regular spacing of containers, along lower supports will be obtained. Some containers 27, however, will still be observed in position above the lower row of containers that move in contact with a bottom flat track 43 outwardly from the flow-out zone 39.
In addition to the gravitational or mechanical aspects providing the derived movement pattern, the containers in the single filer component and, in fact, those containers in all of the waterfall and bulk storage zones are buffeted and moved directionally by the flow and impingement of air delivered under pressure to obtain or enhance the desired output result.
The containers in the single filer zone are subjected to the action of directed flow jet nozzles in the flow-out zone 39 closely adjacent to the cascade surface 38. Here air under pressure that has been introduced through a conduit 44 to separate plenums 46 and 47 disposed at the opposite lateral sides of the container defining delivery walls 48 and 49 that are in fact a continuum of the sidewalls 48 and 49 of the single filer zone 14 and are spaced apart a distance that is slightly greater than the lateral dimension of the containers to be worked on. Such sidewalls 48 and 49 are continued out into the single file layout zone 50, which is essentially defined by such sidewalls 48 and 49, a top cover 51 and the bottom track 43. The plenums 46 and 47 are disposed alongside and outside of the walls 48 and 49, as shown in FIG. 2, and a plurality of jet nozzles 52, 54, 53 and 55 are drilled through the walls 48 and 49, respectively, to deliver angularly disposed jets of air against the containers to move the containers down into contact with the bottom track 43 and forwardly therealong to a point of discharge.
The air from the conduits 44 and the plenums 46 and 47 (or at least a portion thereof) that is not delivered through the nozzles 52-55 moves up and rearwardly as indicated by the arrows 56 and 57 for introduction in a rearwardly directed sheet past the slots 58 and 59 and into the interior of chamber 50. Since the slots 58 and 59 are vertically elongated, a sheet type discharge flowing along the inner surfaces of sidewalls 48 and 49 tends to blow any loose cans, such as the cans 28, that may be entrapped in the layout zone 50 in a rearward direction and back toward the single filer zone 14.
The return movement patterns of cans 28 are in large measure regulated by the positioning of a damper 61 that is disposed at a rearward extent of the layout zone 50 for control of air patterns flowing from the air slots 58 and 59 into the zone 50 and rearwardly back into the single filer free air zone 45.
Actually a further element is provided which is operatively intermediate the layout zone 50 and the single filer zone 14. This element is a chimney 62 having a forward wall 63 joined to the sidewalls 48 and 49 and disposed forwardly or downstream from vertically disposed open guide bars 64 which extend inwardly from the sidewalls 48 and 49 to prevent loss of containers 20, etc., up the chimney. The guide bars 64 terminate at the line 66. Therebelow a plate diaphragm 67 that extends full distance between the sidewalls 48 and 49 is provided as an operative separator between the zones 50 and 45 if the damper 61 is moved to a full retracted or up position. A pair of guide bars 200 are provided to either side of the bottom opening of the chimney and extend inwardly from sidewalls 48 and 49 also to prevent loss of containers up the chimney.
In addition to the excess air that moves in reverse pattern as indicated by the arrows 56 and 57, a portion of such air will be exhausted through openings 68 in a confining top 69 which is positioned a distance above the bottom 43 corresponding to the diameter of dimension of the containers being handled. Accordingly, as the containers 20, etc. are moved out of the zone 50, they must move out and through a confining segment 71 defined by the sidewalls 48 and 49, the track or bottom 43 and the confining top 69. At such point the containers are in a single file side-by-side disposition with the longitudinal axes disposed in horizontal position and can be moved from there into a carrier track structure 72 having top and bottom confining side rails 73 and 74. Likewise the containers could be moved into a track wherein the sidewalls and top or sidewalls and bottom were of closed plate construction so that air would not escape therethrough. For the embodiment illustrated, guide rails 74 are used interiorly of the plate type confining sidewalls with the guide rails extending inwardly a distance of three-fourths to one inch with the remainder of the bottom being open for the escape of air or misaligned or damaged cans.
A separate plenum is desirably provided for any carrier track 72 and the air supply therefor. The plenums can be provided air under pressure by the same blower hooked to the conduit 44 and the plenums 46 and 47 or by separate air pressurizing devices. The carrier track 72 may be horizontally disposed, or it may be inclined, curved or vertical. The operating principles utilized will, accordingly, be different. Usually the air pressures to be used in the track carrier segment disposed downstream or past the single filer might be different, and, accordingly, separate blower or separate air pressure will be used. At least air valving or control features would be utilized at the output of the single filer and at the point of introduction of containers into the next carrier track segments.
It is intended that the single filer apparatus shown and described will be used at various installations and will, as previously stated, be coupled in systems to handle containers out of packaging equipment, gravitational flow equipment, or other installations. Necessarily, the manufacturing or handling capacity of all such units is not the same, and it is desirable that the single filer apparatus be adaptable for use at varied input and output rates. Changes in the handling capacity of the present embodiment are beneficially accomplished through use of air control, air valving and air directional components. As previously set forth in connection with the chimney 62, a damper 61 is provided that serves as a primary means for changing air flow patterns within the device and in a manner that will effectively change the flow delivery rate for the single filer. In FIG. 1 the damper 61 is in full down position, and in this position an air circulating pattern from the layout zone 50 and into the single filer and storage zones is generated. The return flow air through the slit nozzles 58 and 59 passes under the lowered damper 61 after engaging any circulating cans 28 and cans in the position 27. A portion of the air will pass under the plate diaphragm 67 to move some of the excess cans back into the zone 45. In operation, at an output rate of 1,000 cans per minute, it has been observed that 10 or 15 cans will not be in stacked relationship behind the slope face 41 but will be freely circulating in the air fowardly of the line 41. Five or six cans will be circulating in layout zone 50 in the area adjacent the can 28, and two or three freely moving cans may be at a position just above a bottom row of cans (see can 27). The air flow pattern for return air, after it has passed under the plate 67, returns past the guide bars 64 and up the chimney 62 to be exhausted past the chimney vent 76, which is itself provided with a weight 77 that can be sized in accordance with the use of the device or that may be of variable weight, such as a cup to be filled with loose materials. Further, such vent 76 may provide support for a weight on an extended lever arm with the weight being moved along the lever arm to adjust the force tending to close the vent 76. A small portion of air recirculated from the zone 50 may course directly up the chimney 62 while guides 200 prevent any cans from passing up the chimney.
Other represenatative patterns for varied delivery rates are shown schematically in FIGS. 8 through 10. FIG. 8 illustrates the condition where cans are not being delivered by the single filer apparatus. Under such circumstances cans will be stacked above the lower ramp 36 about four or five rows deep in a pyramind arrangement with a 75� face angle as indicated by the dotted line 78. A quantity of cans 29 will be disposed against the open rails 64 to partially block the escape of air past such rails and up the chimney 62. As in the FIG. 1 configuration, the damper 61 will be down for this no-operation condition. If the damper is moved to the up position and no cans are being delivered, most all of the air will be exhausted out of the chimney 62 and past the vent 76. Up to fifteen cans might then be circulating in the zone 50, and about five cans will be circulating in the zone 45.
FIG. 9 shows the air flow and can dispersal configuration when running approximately 1,600 cans per minute. For this condition the damper 61 will be up and the vents 76 will be full up. Four or five cans will be circulating in zone 45, and five to six cans might circulate in zone 50. The face slope disposal of cans will be somewhat comparable to that of the FIG. 1 1,000-can delivery operation with the cans being arranged in echelon positions again defining a fall-away line 41. For this condition it is noted that more air circulates back into the zone 45, and if the cans on the essentially open ramp 16 are four or five cans deep, air flow upwardly through such ramp is substantially blocked. Under such condition the air will flow backwardly into the chimney 62 past the guide bars 64, and it will then come back into the accumulator zone 13. This air flow into the accumulator zone operates beneficially to cushion cans free-falling from the waterfall 12 and helps to limit or minimize any damage that might be occasioned thereby.
FIG. 10 illustrates operation of the first embodiment of the invented air single filer operating at the rate of approximately 2,000 cans per minute. For this rate of operation the damper 61 will again be up, but the flow of cans from the accumulator zone 13 downwardly along the ramp 16 must be substantially increased so that the echelon rows of cans disposed above the lower ramp 36 will be deeper. For such operation, cans will essentially fill all of the zone 35, and the weight of such cans will itself tend to force more containers downwardly along the ramp 36. A similar increased depth of cans will be noted above the ramp 38. With increased air pressures a greater quantity of cans will be circulating in the zone 50 with approximately fifteen to twenty cans being involved in the movement pattern in such zone. Approximately egith cans will be circulating in the zone 45. As described in connection with FIG. 9, if only a minor depth of cans is retained on the ramp 16, enough air will circulate upwardly past the can sidewalls to cushion the cans that are released by waterfall 12 to drop into the accumulator zone 13. If a greater depth of cans occurs above the ramp 16 in a manner that would tend to cut off a direct upward flow of air from the zone 45 into the accumulator zone 13, air will merely bypass the ramp 16 and course up the chimney to be reintroduced into the zone 13 at a position above ramp 16 to provide the beneficial can cushioning effect.
In addition to the air flow patterns shown and described in connection with FIGS. 1 and 8 through 10, the separate containers or cans are also subjected to forces directed thereagainst through use of a plurality of jet nozzles which directionally deliver air under pressure from the side plenums 46 and 47. Desirably, the nozzles are arranged in a regulated order so that the cans will be moved in a regular pattern as they are subjected to successive air pulses delivered by the row arranged nozzles. A desirable arrangement of nozzles and the row arrangement thereof are shown in FIGS. 1 through 5.
The upper rows of nozzles, which are continuous through the lay-down section corresponding to the zone 50 and in all positions past the weir 39, are disposed in a downwardly and forwardly directed disposition where they pass through the walls 48 and 49. These upper rows of nozzles 52-53 have discharge openings at a position approximately one-eighth inch above the top extent of the container with the inlet end thereof being higher and rearwardly thereof. The second or lower echelon rows of openings 54-55 are discontinuous with a first section disposed adjacent the layout weir section at 39 and extending downstream therefrom a distance of approximately three containers or about eight inches. The outlet ends of these holes, which are again forwardly and downwardly drilled, are disposed at a discharge position that is at the center line of the cans or containers being handled to deliver jets of air downwardly and forwardly against the top and bottom of the can or container or into the interior thereof if open.
The lower echelon rows of openings 54-55 are not continuous throughout the zone 50, but such lower row of nozzles resumes at a position adjacent the confining segment 71 disposed downstream and at the end of the single filer component apparatus. The lower rows of nozzles 54 and 55 reoccur to provide a second section at a point adjacent a suppression roller 83 and just ahead of the confining top 69 which helps, together with the bottom rail 43, to define the terminal confining segment 71. The nozzles in the rows 54 and 55 of this second section are again forwardly and downwardly directed so that the air jets emanating therefrom will tend to force the containers or cans through the segment 71 in a one-by-one pattern arrangement and out of the single filer apparatus.
Where open top cans or other nonregular containers are being handled, the air introduced through the directionally oriented nozzles 52 and 54 may have a different velocity than that being introduced at the same time through the nozzles 53 and 55. If open top cans are being handled, the bottom end thereof will necessarily be of heavier weight. In order to avoid chattering of the cans as they pass along the bottom rail 43 or through the confining segment 71, the air in plenum 47 may be maintained at a slightly increased pressure when compared to the air being delivered by the plenum 46. Accordingly, the air delivered through the nozzles 53-55 and against the closed bottom ends of the cans 20-27 as shown in FIG. 5 will have a slightly increased velocity. With the increased velocity the carrying capacity of the air out of plenum 47 will be increased, and the cans 27 can with proper air pressure adjustments be maintained in a regular and balanced movement pattern. It has been found that where aluminum cans are being handled that have a closed bottom the differential of air pressure between the plenum 47 servicing nozzles at the bottom of the cans and the plenum 46 providing air to the top of the can will be approximately 10%. Accordingly, if the air in plenum 47 is at a pressure of eight inches of water static pressure, the air that will be impinged to carry the open top will be at a water pressure of approximately 7.2 inches. A similar differential in pressure is maintained for all the varied can delivery rates enumerated in connection with the description of FIGS. 8 through 10.
All of the holes or jet nozzles disposed in the rows 52-55 are drilled in a downward and forward direction with respect to the movement pattern for the containers. In the embodiment illustrated each of the separate holes have a diameter of approximately 3/16ths of an inch, and the holes are drilled on a 1/2 inch center-to-center spacing pattern. With such arrangement the air from a plurality of jet nozzles engages each can at any time and as it is progressively moved along the bottom rails 43. The disposition of the outlet ends of the nozzles in rows 52 and 53 beneficially provides an improved result, since the air from these holes-nozzles tends to keep the cans in a position of contact with the bottom rails 43 at the same time that the forward direction of the nozzles tends to move the containers along such rail. If a space exists between adjacent containers, the same nozzles will tend to engage the bottom lip of a can loosely moving in the zone 50 to move such can down toward engagement with the bottom rail and into a position intermediate previously adjacent cans. The nozzles in the first section rows 54 and 55 are provided to accelerate the cans as they move away from the weir layout section 39. The air from such first section nozzles in the rows 54 and 55 and also the air directed against the cans by nozzles in the top rows 52 and 53 at this weir layout position are used to suppress any tendency of cans that are already in contact with the guide rails to move up and away therefrom due to the weight and flow of cans progressing down the weir 38.
Distinguishing features of a second embodiment of the invention are shown in FIG. 7. In general, this embodiment of the invention is intended for use when a higher delivery rate is required. The embodiment has been used to deliver open-ended aluminum containers at a rate of 2,500 cans per minute. In order to obtain this high delivery rate, certain components of the embodiment are changed to handle a higher flow delivery for the air that is used to control the circulation of the containers in the zones 50 and 45 and also for higher pressures at the points of nozzle release along the lower rail 43.
As in the previous embodiment, an accumulator zone 13 receives the containers from either the waterfall zone shown in FIG. 2 or from another source. The containers fall into contact with the upper inclined ramp 16 and again fall downwardly therefrom past the roller 34 to be received in stacked arrangement in the zone 35 and also in pyramid distribution above the lower delivery ramp 36. The cans next course downwardly over the cascade ramp 38 of a weir section similar to that illustrated and described in FIGS. 1 and 5. At the bottom of the ramp 38 a full row of suppressor nozzles 79 engages the top surface of the containers to move the containers into a one-by-one pattern arrangement along the lower rail 43. As in the previous embodiment, a first section of impeller nozzles is provided at 81 adjacent the flow-out zone 39 for the weir, and a second section of such impeller nozzles 82 is provided adjacent the confining segment 71 adjacent suppressor roller 83. The air from the supply 44 and from plenums 46 and 47 (not shown) is delivered to the rows of nozzles 79, 81 and 82 in the manner previously described.
A back flow of control air is again established from an initial point of introduction at back flow chamber 86 adjacent the downstream end of the zone 50. At this point return air is introduced in reverse direction into the chamber 50 where it will circulate approximately the six cans shown as it attempts to move such cans down into the output row of cans moving in contact with the bottom rails 43 or backwardly into the weir section so that such loose cans can be introduced into such output flow. A damper 61 is again used to regulate the amount of reverse air flow that is to be introduced backwardly and into the zone 45. The air that is not exhausted past the damper 61 will be moved back past the plate diaphragm 67 and into the chamber 45. With the changed flow pattern used in connection with this embodiment, the plate diaphragm 67 is essentially continued upwardly to provide a wall 84 that prevents any additional escape of air from the zone 45. With this arrangement all control air that is moved into the zone 45 will have to exhaust upwardly and through the upper ramp 16 or through loose cans in the zone 35 to reach the accumulator zone 13.
In order to handle containers at the desired delivery rate, a considerably increased pressure is contemplated at plenums 46 and 47. In order to control an otherwise excess of air that might move into the back flow chamber 86 and into the zone 50 in the reverse flow direction, a separate back vent 80 is provided that will allow escape of air directly from the chamber defining the zone 50. An adjustably positioned door of such back vent 80 is held in selected position through use of a hook support 87, the free end of which may be engaged into a plurality of variably positioned openings 88 so that the back vent door 80 will be held in fixed position once it is adjusted.
At the end of this single filer embodiment a counter 89 may be used to count the number of cans and the flow rate therefor for all cans exiting the confining segment 71. The additional structure shown downstream and past the counter 89 is representative of a carrier track structure 72 that can receive the containers delivered by the single filer to carry such containers horizontally away therefrom. The carrier track structure is again inclusive of top and bottom container confining side rails 73 and 74. The conduit 91 is representative of a new air input that is used to service the carrier track structure 72. Air introduced through this conduit will be delivered to plenums disposed at sides of the track structure 72 so that the cans or other containers will be moved in regular pattern away from the single filer.
Again, while separate air supplies at 44 and 91 are suggested for the single filer apparatus and for any alternately used downstream container handling apparatus, it would be possible to run a single filer and downstream delivery apparatus from a single source of air under pressure. Pressure control and delivery control valves would be utilized so that the best pressure and air flow delivery rates could be provided for each separate material handling component.
A further embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 11 through 14. This configuration of the invention is intended for use where less space is available for the single filer apparatus. The single filer zone 114 of this FIG. 11 embodiment of the invention is relatively shorter than that used in connection with the FIG. 1 and FIG. 7 embodiments. Accordingly, the present apparatus is more adaptable for use as a substitute or replacement for existing equipment in an already installed line container handling equipment. In general, the more compact arrangement is derived by shortening the waterfall section and by eliminating the cascade component previously utilized. For this installation the containers 121 that are initially in an upright orientation are delivered by the waterfall section 112 of shortened length to fall downwardly into the free air zone 145 of the single filer section 114. The free air zone 145 is essentially defined by guide rails 164 and the curved guide rail 136 that extends upwardly and out of the single filer zone 114. Guide rails 136 also continue downwardly out of the free air zone 145 and into the layout zone 150 where they become the bottom rails 143.
For this single filer apparatus the gravitational influences acting on the containers cannot be as beneficially utilized as in the previous embodiments where a weir section is used. Gravitational influences, however, are used in the area adjacent curved rails 136 and directly aligned thereabove, since an accumulation of containers in this area will be acted on by gravitational influences to move the containers 122 into single file arrangement along the guide rails 136 and 143 as the containers move downwardly and along such rails.
Since the area in which cans may stack one above the other and, accordingly, the area for beneficial gravitational forces is somewhat limited, this embodiment of the invention is more significantly dependent upon the proper application of forces derived through use of air under pressure. The bulk air introduced into the layout zone 150 and to the single filer free air zone 145 is used to move containers received in such zones toward positions that will contribute to eventual disposition in single file side-by-side arrangement in the layout zone 150 and downstream thereof as the containers are moved into the output carrier track structure 172.
For this embodiment of the invention there is essentially no bulk storage zone, such as the previous zone 13, and there is no ramp, such as the ramp 16, that helped to define such zone. The containers fall freely from the waterfall section 112 down into the air single filer section 114 with such free fall being inhibited only by the bulk air introduced into the single filer free air zone 145. In addition to cushioning the fall of the containers 122 as they move downwardly into eventual contact with the tracks 136 and 143, the bulk air in this zone 145 tends to move the containers into position against the rails 136 and 164 as shown in both FIGS. 11 and 13. This result is obtained since the pressurized air in the free air zone 145 would escape through such essentially open rails and out of the apparatus if containers were not disposed therealong in side-by-side relationship to occlude such escape path. It is then the containers themselves that are moved into aligned positions along the guide rails that help to define the operative free air zone 145.
For the static condition shown in FIG. 13 where no containers are being delivered from the single filer apparatus, the containers in the zone 145 will be disposed in the arched configuration illustrated with additional containers aligned along the rails 136 and 164 to occlude major escape of air from such zone. In the dynamic condition as shown in FIG. 11 the specific container marked by the number 122 is falling along the guide rail 136. At the same time there is a tendency for any of the loose containers circulating centrally in the zone 145 to be moved toward a position that will fill the gap between the marked container 122 and the next lower container. The flow of bulk air toward such point of escape will carry a loose container with it. Containers in the zone 145 then are moved by the bulk pressurized air in such zone toward positions of side-by-side alignment against the rails 136 and 143. Delivery into the air single filer should provide an excess of cans in the zone 145 so that passages for the escape of air past the guide rails can be plugged by containers that are carried by excess air toward such points of escape.
Bulk air in the layout zone 150 is used for a similar purpose, and, accordingly, by the time the containers are disposed along the lower open guide rails 143, a near solid arrangement of containers will be observed. As in the previous embodiment, the particular zones 145 and 150 are again defined by the side plates 148 and 149 and by the remaining confining walls, such as the top cover 151 and the downstream chimney wall 163.
The bulk air that is moved into the zones 150 and 145 is delivered by the plenums 146 and 147 to pass inwardly through the openings 166 and 167 at the downstream end of such plenums. The air passing through these openings is released in a reverse direction through the elongated reversing chamber slots 158 and 159 in a sheet flow that is initially adjacent the confining sidewalls 148 and 149. Flow of bulk air from the plenums and through the openings 166 and 167 is controlled by butterfly valves 176 and 177 disposed in the plenums 146 and 147. See FIGS. 12 and 14. These butterfly valves are movable to positions for closing off the flow of air from the plenums 146 and 147 to the openings 166 and 167.
As in the previous embodiments of the invention, pressurized air is also delivered by the plenums 146 and 147 through the directed air jet suppressor nozzles 152 and 154. These nozzles are again drilled so that the air expelled therefrom will have a downwardly and forwardly directed disposition with the nozzles 152 being positioned in a continuous row at an elevation just above the top limit of containers coursing along the bottom rails 143. The additional air jets 154 are disposed in a discontinuous row with the full representative distribution of such jet nozzles being shown in FIG. 11. The upstream grouping of such nozzles is disposed in a position corresponding to the placement of the chimney 162 and of the downstream chimney wall 163. The downstream grouping of such nozzles 154 is again positioned just upstream from the point of exit for the containers from the air single filer 114 and into the output delivery track 172 or an alternate curved track 172A. This downstream grouping of nozzles 154 is used again as additional suppressor nozzles that will tend to better assure entry of the containers into the output track 172 and under the confining top 169 thereof. The upstream grouping of nozzles 154 tends to compact the containers that are disposed along the bottom track 143 and to move the containers downstream if slack exists. If a gap is created between the containers through action of the upstream suppressor jets 154, loose containers in the zone 150 that circulate just downstream of the chimney wall 163 will be moved immediately by the escape of bulk air in such zone to fill the gap.
As in the previous embodiments, additional control of the bulk air in the zones 150 and 145 is obtained through use of a chimney 162. For this embodiment of the invention the chimney and its operation is relatively simpler since less control seems to be necessary. A vane 161 of perforated metal is positioned in the chimney, and the air introduced through the bottom of the chimney or past the rails 164 and any containers disposed therealong can exit by movement through the openings in the vane 161 or past an upper free edge thereof. When no delivery of containers is being made from the air single filer as illustrated in FIG. 13, the vane 161 will itself be moved to a more open condition as illustrated, and a substantial quantity of air will be emitted through the chimney 162, while cans will be prevented from escaping by being supported on rails 200A.
When the apparatus of any of the embodiments has been closely adjusted to provide the desired output delivery of containers, little excess air is exhausted through the respective chimney sections. One function of the chimney installation, therefore, is to provide release for excess air buildup while a major function is to provide a balance between the bulk air dispositions in the layout zone 150 and the free air zone 145. Most all functional operations of the chimney can be alternately provided through provision of a plurality of openings directly through the zone defining sidewalls 48 and 49. Where these same sidewalls are covered by barrier materials 47 providing sound suppression, selective and differential movement of the sound barrier can valve and control the escape of excess bulk air out of the zones 150 and 145.
Presently operative apparatus has perforated metal in the single filer zone 14 in substitution for the sheet sidewalls 48 and 49. The chimney is eliminated, and, accordingly, the total unit length is reduced. The metal is perforated to have 1/4 inch round openings spaced 3/8 inch apart on centers. Sound control barrier material such as insulation board and the like as at 47 may be supported by suitable means, not shown, adjacent the outside surfaces of the sidewalls 48 and 49, and the barrier material may be moved by suitable means, not shown, inwardly and outwardly toward and away from contact with the perforated metal in order to provide escape of excess bulk air from the zones 45 and 50. The side panels 48 and 49 are actually perforated in areas extending downwardly below the ramp 36, but this is of no consequence since air is blocked from escaping to the back side of the ramp by the presence of cans. Necessarily, the perforated metal acts in such operative apparatus in substitution for the chimneys 62 of the other described embodiments and the additional vent component 80 of the FIG. 7 embodiment.
For all embodiments of the invention, the ramps providing the lower container retaining elements may be of open type construction with side rails that engage only the ends of containers being provided. A large central portion of the containers is then accessible and exposed to be grasped by an operator who can simply introduce his hand or hands past the side rails to engage the containers. This open and accessible arrangement is desirable, since cans that are bent can then be grasped by the operator to facilitate removal of the can downwardly and past such rails. Any cans that are misoriented will move toward the opening between the rails and fall through to exit the apparatus. Since the walls 48 and 49 are closely spaced with respect to the length of the containers, it is usually necessary to crush the can to effect such removal, but at least the bent or stuck can is removable to eliminate disruption of the single filer apparatus operations.
The open bottom ramp arrangement for any of the shown and described embodiments is not deleterious from the standpoint of air control, since the bulk air in the zones 45, 50, 145 and 150 will not escape excessively past the open ramps when a layer or layers of containers are disposed thereagainst. As previously set forth, movement of bulk air toward a point of escape along such open ramps will regularly carry containers toward such point of escape to block the air exit passage and to further and beneficially arrange the containers in the desired side-by-side relationship.

Planet Earth From the makers of The Blue Planet: Seas of Life, with an unprecedented production budget of $25 million, comes the epic story of life on Earth. Five years in production, over 2000 days in the field, using 40 cameramen filming across 200 locations, shot entirely in high definition, this is the ultimate portrait of our planet. A stunning television experience that captures rare action, impossible locations and intimate moments with our planet's best-loved, wildest and most elusive creatures. From the highest mountains to the deepest rivers, this blockbuster series takes you on an unforgettable journey through the daily struggle for survival in Earth's most extreme habitats. Planet Earth takes you to places you have never seen before, to experience sights and sounds you may never experience anywhere else. Wild China An exotic fusion of natural history and Oriental adventure, "Wild China" is a series of journeys through four startlingly different landscapes, each based around the travels of a real historical character. With splendour, scale and romance, Wild China lifts the veil on the world's most enigmatic and magnificent country, delving into its vibrant habitats to reveal a land of unbelievable natural complexity. Journey across China from the glittering peaks of the Himalayas to the barren steppe, the sub-Arctic to the tropical islands, through deserts both searingly hot and mind-numbingly cold and see, in pioneering images, a dazzling array of mysterious, beautiful, wild and rare creatures. Galapagos The inspiration for Darwin 's theory of evolution, the Galápagos Islands are a living laboratory, a geological conveyor belt that has given birth to and seen the death of many species of plants and animals. As the western islands rise up from the sea offering a chance of life, the eastern islands sink back beneath the waves guaranteeing only death. Between the two are the middle islands; fertile, lush land in its prime that contains an incredible diversity of life. Nowhere else on the Earth are the twin processes of creation and extinction of species so starkly apparent... see it all unfold before your eyes in this stunning series filmed entirely in high definition from the BBC and the National Geographic Channel. Ganges A sumptuous series that tells the story of the most extraordinary river in the world - the Ganges. Human life and nature bustle along her river banks, in a kaleidoscope of colour and energy. From man-hunting tigers to giant lizards, here the wildlife is as diverse as the people. Traversing from the peaks of the Himalayas through frenetic cities to the teeming delta where the river meets the sea, this is a vibrant and colourful look at how the Ganges shaped the wildlife, culture and beliefs of India.

|Ganges disc won't play in PS3
It may just be a bad disc. You could take it to a store and attempt to play it in a blu-ray player (lots of stores don't mind if you test their TVs with your material).
I'd just try to exchange the disc.

I'm also wondering this...I did see Galapagos when it originally aired a few years back and it didn't seem TOO preachy.

Based on Matt Moore's pitching of late, the Tampa Bay Rays could be in good position to continue their home dominance of the Toronto Blue Jays. The left-hander tries to win a third consecutive start while looking to help the Rays complete a three-game sweep with a fifth straight home victory over the Blue Jays on Thursday. Alex Cobb allowed one run over seven innings as Tampa Bay (58-52) secured its 16th straight winning home series over Toronto with a 3-2 victory Wednesday. The Rays are 35-12 against the Blue Jays at Tropicana Field since Toronto last won a series there April 6-8, 2007. "We seem to struggle for some reason playing in this ballpark." losing pitcher Carlos Villanueva said. There's a good chance that success continues with the ball in the hand of Moore (8-7, 3.84 ERA), who has not allowed a run in 17 2-3 innings despite yielding six hits and three walks in 5 1-3 innings of a 2-0 win over Baltimore on Friday. Moore last gave up a run in the second inning of a 2-1 ...

text: A favorite of director Barry Levinson (who once referred to the actor as the his lucky charm), Ralph Tabakin appeared in each of Levinson's films. Theirs was a chance meeting, Tabakin accompanied a group of students to an audition for Diner (1982), Levinson's directorial debut. Born in San Antonio, TX, in 1922, Tabakin was raised in New Orleans, LA, and Richmond, VA. His distinctive features were the result of his World War II tour of duty, that earned him two bronze stars and five purple hearts. Tabakin served as a Federal Aviation Administration engineer following the war, later becoming involved with acting after retirement. Co-founding the Silver Spring Stage and the Maryland Academy of Dramatic Arts, with his wife Madolyn in the late '60s, Tabakin worked in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore-area theater communities as a director and acting coach, as well as directing the Jewish Community Center of Washington's drama school. After his fateful meeting with Levinson and making his feature debut in Diner, Tabakin appeared almost exclusively in Levinson's films, even taking a recurring role in the director's television creation Homicide: Life on the Street. On May 13, 2000, Ralph Tabakin died of heart disease, in Silver Spring, MD. He was 79. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A Three-Hour Medley Of Christmas Songs!
This is all you'll need as your aural backdrop for what's left of the Christmas season.
It's a three-hour--plus 17:56 minute--mashup of every Christmas song ever recorded, from the cute to the charming to the charmingly cute to the downright satanic.
I hate this stuff with a passion, but maybe if we throw it all together and put it on constant replay, it can't harm us anymore.
We can disempower it by pretending to embrace it.
So press "play" and enjoy the nonstop parade of cozy Xmas hits sung Johnny Mathis, Bing Crosby, and, um, Johnny Mathis.
And at the stroke of midnight on Christmas night, let's make a vow to delete this video and never play a dreaded Christmas song again!
Or I'll crawl down your chimney and put rocks in your Christmas pudding.
