Abstract: A weighing apparatus adapted for use in an existing conveyor, and a method for attaching a weighing apparatus to an existing conveyor without removing components or modifying the conveyor. The apparatus comprises a roller, a load cell, a vertical support and a cross member. The cross member is secured to adjacent existing idlers or alternatively to the frame supporting the existing conveyor via non-invasive means that do not require the existing conveyor or components to be removed or modified by cutting, drilling or welding. The roller is capable of precise adjustment both horizontally and vertically relative to the conveyor to ensure levelness and accuracy without the use of tools.

Abstract: This web enabled system is capable of facilitating the management of unlimited projects within which an unlimited number of parties may participate to complete an unlimited number of stages, substages and tasks. The system facilitates the efficient disbursal of monies while reducing the inefficiencies that result when money is not timely disbursed. It uses a quasi-escrow system to secure waivers and distribute money simultaneously. Projected timelines for completion, tracking of materials used and materials stored, and partial payments and releases are all managed by the system based on inputs by participating parties. Allowed inputs are governed by each party's function and the password security level provided therefore, in balance with checks against required approvals or releases by other affected parties and intrasystem consistency checks.
