Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for creating a manifest for tracking a shipment. The invention can involve obtaining information pertinent to an intended shipment, storing the information in a memory of an electronic device, creating a work order record containing the information pertinent to the intended shipment and storing the work order in the memory. The invention can further involve storing a manifest number in the work order record, generating an electronic manifest record comprising the manifest number and the information pertinent to the intended shipment, and providing a final copy of the manifest, in which the manifest is in an electronic format.

Abstract: A system and method of tracking a shipment using a manifest is presented. The method includes composing and producing a uniquely numbered manifest containing a description of the materials that make up the content of the shipment. The method further includes creating a work order, responsive to obtaining information about materials intended to be shipped, and associating the work order with a manifest record comprising a unique number and information to be supplied for the header of the manifest. The method further includes adding to the manifest record lines of information describing the material to be shipped. At a subsequent time, for instance when a transporting vehicle arrives to pick up the material, information in the manifest record can be further edited. The method further includes producing a manifest based on the manifest record.

Abstract: A low profile evaporator unit suitable for mounting on the ceiling of a small bus. The unit includes a cabinet containing an evaporator coil and a return air intake opening in the floor of the cabinet. A blower is mounted in the cabinet directly over the opening. A grill is non-removably mounted over the floor opening and a filter receiving tray is integrally joined to the grill so that the grill forms the bottom wall of the tray. Limited access is provided to the tray such that an air filter can pass into and out of the tray without removing the grill from the housing. Elongated narrow slits are also provided in the grill which further restrict access to the interior of the cabinet.
