Abstract: A non-lethal tranquilizer bullet is provided. The non-lethal tranquilizer bullet may include a housing defining an internal space and having a non-penetrating distal tip. A plunger assembly, a tranquilizer fluid, and at least one plunger stop may be disposed in the internal space. The plunger assembly can include a piston and a needle, and the needle may include a shaft terminating in a tip. The shaft may have a plurality of holes disposed along its length. When the bullet is fired from a gun and contacts a living body, the plunger assembly can move toward the non-penetrating distal tip such that the needle tip breaches the housing tip and enters the living body. The force of the plunger assembly moving forward may disperse the tranquilizer fluid into the living body through at least one of the plurality of holes. The plunger stop can prevent the piston from exiting the tip.

Abstract: A front loading refuse collection vehicle has a refuse receiving body within which a compaction panel is movable between a refuse receiving position and refuse compacting positions spaced from the receiving position. A pair of hydraulically actuated power cylinder assemblies are connected to the body adjacent the refuse receiving end and to the compaction panel, the assemblies extending in criss-cross fashion one above the other. The ends of the assemblies connected to the panel are restrained by apparatus which is normally passive and does not interfere with the connection between each hydraulic cylinder assembly and the panel, but which upon failure of the connection between a hydraulic cylinder assembly and the panel restrains movement of the cylinder assembly having the failed connection so that the end of that assembly remains closely adjacent to the panel and between the side walls of the body.
