This is a NO-PULSE type ramp. This type of ramp has none of the "NORMAL" characteristics of any "PUBLISHED" ramp!

Some people will say "This design doesn't have a RAMP"! That is because they have no practical experence of using this type of ramp (ON THE OPENING SIDE ONLY).

I have been using this style of a ramp on the opening side of designs since 1973!

This example has no normal "RAMP HEIGHT" data (as described by Harvey Crane's method) listed in my RAMP SECRETS section of this website.

The name NO-PULSE comes from the fact that the ACCELERATION CURVE does not have any pulses or reversals in the shape of this curve. A constant velocity type of ramp has a small pulse at the juncture where the velocity goes to zero as the lift blends into the basecircle.

NO-PULSE became a registered trademark on September 20, 2005.  Reg. No. is 2,998,804.

An ACCELERATED RAMP has a reversal in this acceleration curve. This reversal could be called a pulse.
