Abstract: A bulk bag filling apparatus comprises a first support member having an upper end and a lower end and being oriented in a generally vertical direction; a second support member connected to said generally vertical member and extending at an angle to said generally vertical direction; a filling head for engagement with an opening of the bulk bag, wherein the filling head is connected to and supported by the second support member; a bulk bag support structure for engagement with support elements of the bulk bag, wherein the bulk bag support structure is connected to and supported by the second support member; and a hang-weighing mechanism for weighing the contents of the bulk bag, wherein the bulk bag support structure is connected to said second support member through said hang-weighing mechanism. The hang-weighing apparatus includes one or two load-bearing points at which the bulk bag support structure applies a load to the hang-weighing apparatus.

Abstract: A thermal energy apparatus and methodology 10 including a computer 12, operating under stored program control, to selectively allow elements 26 and 28 to be created and partitioned and to further allow the partitioning to be dispensed with upon calculating the radiation aspect of the thermal model. The thermal calculation and measurement apparatus and methodology can further include a means for allowing elements 102-108 to be created and thereafter allow an amorphous potting solution or other model wide elements 120 to be integrated into the model without detrimentally affecting the previously created elements 102-108.
