Abstract: A method is provided that can include activating at least two wireless communication channels in parallel, between a first wireless transceiver and a second wireless transceiver. Each of the at least two wireless communication channels can operate at a different radio carrier frequency, and the first wireless transceiver may be part of a first vehicle. The method can also include transmitting, by the first wireless transceiver, common information in parallel on the at least two wireless communication channels to the second wireless transceiver and deactivating the at least two wireless communication channels.

Abstract: An apparatus and system for using magnetic fields to heat magnetically susceptible materials within and/or adjacent to adhesives, resins, or composites so as to reversibly or irreversibly bond, bind, or fasten opaque or non-opaque solid materials to one another. The system makes use of the effect that alternating magnetic fields induce eddy currents and generate heat within susceptors, and the effect that alternating magnetic fields additionally induce magnetic hysteresis that occurs in magnetic materials and thereby generate heat. An induction heating tool is used to emit the magnetic field at its work coil, and an electronic controller measures the energy being used by a power converter that generates the alternating current driving the work coil which creates the magnetic field. The distance between the susceptor and work coil is repeatedly analyzed based upon the power converter's input energy, and the work coil is driven at a repeatedly corrected power level during the heating cycle.

Abstract: A storage device (10) includes an underground chamber (12) and a lid (31) hinged to the chamber (12). The lid (31) has a tab (36) and can be easily opened by a user. Flanges (23, 25, 27, 29) near the top of the chamber (12) prevent the storage device (10) from setting too deep in the ground (60) and prevent water from flowing into the chamber (12). A pipe (14) attached to the base (15) of the chamber (12) surrounding an opening (16) therein receives the handle (54) of an implement (50) when the head (52) of the implement (50) is stored in the chamber (12) and provides drainage to the chamber (12). A block (18) on the base (15) of the chamber (12) lifts the head (52) of the implement (50) off the base (15), thereby protecting the implement (50) from possible water and litter in the chamber (12).
