SLC's are really just a BRAND of inverted roller coasters put out by Vekoma. They aren't a separate type of roller coaster or even special type of inverted roller coaster. In a similar example, B&M calls their hyper coasters <a href="http://rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=2&mo=8314" rel="nofollow">"Mega Coasters"</a>, but that's just what they call their hypers. They're still widely known as hyper coasters. And maybe this was already clear, but several designers make compact and not so compact inverted coasters. More in my <a href="http://www.thecoastercritic.com/2006/12/what-is-inverted-coaster.html" rel="nofollow">"What is an Inverted Roller Coaster"</a> post. Please see Austin’s comment above.

I'm just kidding, but reallly, I looked on RCDB and it says nothing about an SLC. It says Volcano is an inverted coaster. It also says at the bottom it's the first launched inverted coaster ever. Always check RCDB! Hey Quil, did you get that one from About.com, too? I’m just kidding, but reallly, I looked on RCDB and it says nothing about an SLC. It says Volcano is an inverted coaster.

Where did I get mind Bender from?... But yeah, SLC's are usually Vekoma and regular inverts are mostly B&M. Some are Intamin and other companies, but B&M makes most inverts and Vekoma makes most SLC's. Oh, Austin, I did mean Mind Eraser, I just had a memory lapse.
