Abstract: An adjustable storage device for loading and transporting vehicles in containers, including a deck for supporting a vehicle in an elevated position, at least two pairs of substantially vertical legs with a plurality of leg pegs positioned along the length of each of the legs; at least two substantially horizontal crossbars, a crosspiece of the crossbars bridging the pairs of legs; a hooking ring member encircling each of the legs and removably engaging one of the leg pegs and an arm peg on each of the arms of the crossbar; and at least two floor bars and a wall brace for securing the storage device to the wall of the container.

Abstract: A mooring device for automatically adjusting the vertical position of a floating object relative to the water level. The present invention provides a vertically adjusting mooring device for a floating object, comprising a pair of cables, each cable comprising an upper end and a lower end; the pair of cables are connected vertically along opposite sides of a dock post, whereby the cables are positioned substantially near the dock post; at least one pulley; the pulley is rotatably coupled to one of the cables for vertical movement between the upper end and the lower end of the cables; and the pulley is fastened to the floating object such that the pulley moves vertically in contact with the cable as the floating object moves vertically. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the mooring device further comprises a spacer pulley to prevent the floating object from contacting the dock or cable when the floating object is moored on only one side.

Abstract: A stake-based support system for use in the landscaping industry. The system includes a spiked section having a pair of elongated legs with pointed spikes on their bottom ends and a footed section having a pair of L-shaped legs with foot sections for supporting the system. The pairs of legs are linked by connecting strips and the two sections are attached to each other by a threaded pipe, nuts, and washers. The system includes means for receiving a landscaping device, such as a lighting fixture, a water sprinkler, a flagpole, or any other devices utilized in the landscaping industry.

Abstract: A fluidized bed scrubber for use in gas cleaning systems, comprising means for introducing a quantity of polluted gas into a first chamber; means for removing a portion of the pollutants from the polluted gas in the first chamber; means for introducing the polluted gas into a second chamber; and means for removing additional pollutants from the polluted gas in the second chamber. The invention also provides an improved method for cleaning polluted gas, comprising the steps of passing the polluted gas from a combustion source through a fluidized bed scrubber, removing a plurality of pollutants within the fluidized bed scrubber, passing the fluidized gas through a reactor, passing the fluidized gas through a filter in order to remove further quantities of pollutants, and emitting the now-clean gas into the atmosphere.

Abstract: A floating transom extension assembly is disclosed. The present invention provides a transom extension assembly for adjustably positioning an outboard motor upon a boat, comprising a floating transom extension, a motor mounting plate slidably coupled to the transom extension, apparatus for mounting the transom extension to the stern of the boat, apparatus for mounting the outboard motor to the motor mounting plate, and apparatus for adjusting the position of the motor mounting plate relative to the transom extension. In an alternative embodiment, the transom extension assembly further comprises a platform extending outwardly over the sides and rearwardly in a U-shape around the motor providing easy access to the motor and further providing the convenience of a stern mounted platform for entry into and exit from the stern of the boat. In a further alternative embodiment, the transom extension assembly is configured for more than one outboard motor attached to the stern of the boat.
