Abstract: A landscape assembly having a plurality of curbing sections, each curbing section may include: a front surface and a rear surface forming an interior cavity, a plurality of supports positioned within the interior cavity and providing vertical and radial support to the front and rear surfaces, a channel integral with the rear surface and extending along an entire length of the curbing section, a first end wall connected to a first terminating end of the front and rear surfaces, a second end wall connected to a second terminating end of the front and rear surfaces, the first and second end walls enclosing the interior cavity, and a plurality of spikes extending substantially downward from the curbing section.

Abstract: A scanner comprises a conveyor device, a tunnel housing, a bed assembly housing, an isolating device, and one or two analysis devices. The tunnel housing, together with a top portion of the bed assembly housing, forms a substantially enclosed area for analyzing objects, and the bed assembly housing includes most of the components of the conveyor device. A frameless and coverless tunnel construction method clamps the frameless tunnel around the bed assembly housing, and uses a leaded curtain bracket and slot to increase the enclosed area within the tunnel housing for a given scanner width and height. For a coverless construction, the outside of the tunnel is finished cosmetically and any lead shielding is attached to the inside of the tunnel, instead of the outside. The conveyor device comprises a conveyor belt, rollers and a conveyor tracking device having first and second channels formed in first and second rails.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of lighted ground curbing, flatwork and other structures having a recessed channel formed therein for receiving a length of flexible sheathed lighting. The separately sheathed lighting is adequately protected independent of the curbing, flatwork or other structure, and is powered by a power source residing separately and independently of the curbing, to thereby eliminate any need for electrical sockets or protective covering to be included as part of the curbing or flatwork portion. The lighting operates to project a substantially continuous stream of light extending continuously along the recess formed in the curbing, flatwork or other structure.

Abstract: A scanner apparatus comprises a tunnel housing having a top, two sides and entrance and exit openings; a bed assembly having a top and side portions wherein the side portions of the bed assembly are substantially fixed to the side portions of the tunnel housing to form a substantially enclosed area; an isolating device located at each of the entrance and the exit of the tunnel housing; a conveyor device for moving an object though the tunnel housing; and an analysis device for analyzing objects within the substantially enclosed area in the tunnel housing. The scanner apparatus has an essentially frameless structure which enhances its capability for scanning tall, wide items.
