Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to electromagnetic coupling modules employed along the outer periphery of floating solar collector pods that can be introduced onto the surface of a body of water that operate to automatically connect to one another so that proximate pods form a reversible self-assembled physically and electrically coupled array that operate to harvest incident solar radiation and also operate to reduce the degree of evaporative water loss from that body of water. Electromagnetic coupling modules are disclosed featuring normally open electrical connection elements that permit electronic coupling under magnetic attraction for improved electrical safety. Electromagnetic coupling modules are disclosed that are gimbaled to provide for increase flexibility and interconnectivity under angular displacement, such as when a floating solar pod array is subject to strong current, wind and wave forces.

Abstract: A workstation is disclosed including a tabletop, a frame, a support coupled to the tabletop and the frame for supporting the tabletop vertically above the frame, and a powered rotator coupled to the frame. The powered rotator may be configured to move the support and the tabletop horizontally along an arcuate path with respect to a user position. The user position and a center of curvature of the arcuate path may each be disposed away from a forward edge of the tabletop. A method of moving a tabletop of a workstation is also disclosed.

Abstract: A hydraulically actuated mobile carrier frame wraps around a storage container of standard size and lifts the container from the ground onto a transport vehicle. The carrier frame subsequently returns the container to the ground. The carrier frame stays with the vehicle or remains in a storage facility for handling containers within the facility. The carrier frame can be expanded transversely to clear the vehicle for loading and unloading.

The carrier frame subsequently returns the container to the ground. The carrier frame stays with the vehicle. The carrier frame can be expanded transversely to clear the vehicle for loading and unloading, then contracted into notches in the vehicle platform to be releasably locked to the vehicle for over the road transport.
