Abstract: An electrical busway housing system mechanically connected at the joints of adjoining housing sections by utilization of a coupling system having a top plate and a bottom plate, at least one of which has a roughened surface that provides superior gripping strength when the adjoining sections of busbar housing are clamped between them. Frictional clamping force is provided by a means of drawing the top plate and the bottom plate together and securing between them flanges or similar structural features of the busbar housing.

Abstract: A computer program product for speed limit enforcement is executable on a portable computer to measure the elapsed time it takes a motor vehicle to traverse a premeasured course along a roadway. The start and stop signals are manually input by a traffic officer via assigned keys on a keyboard, to capture the time interval between the last start signal and the stop signal. A start signal is entered upon a vehicle crossing a first measurement line, and a stop signal is entered upon the vehicle's crossing a second measurement line, the distance between the lines having been preselected from a set of geographic location data. The program converts the time measurement to the relevant units, typically miles per hour, for comparison to a threshold limit stored in a buffer. The time trial is displayed on the computer screen and each record is stored in a cumulative relational database for upload to a back office system for generating historical and statistical reports.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to improved materials handling devices, and more particularly, to containers into which materials are easily loaded and unloaded and which provide for the efficient storage and transportation of the materials deposited therein. The present invention is also directed to unloading facilities associated with the containers which facilitate the removal of the materials deposited in the containers from such containers. The present invention is particularly well suited to provide a materials handling device for storing and transporting scrap metals, which materials handling device includes a container into which, and from which, the scrap metal is easily loaded and unloaded.
