Abstract: A stand for mounting a solar panel and an electronics enclosure includes a pole having a spreader attached to a bottom end of the pole, where the pole includes a first hole and second hole sized to accept a hitch pin. The first hole corresponds to a collapsed state of the stand and the second hole corresponds to an deployed state of the stand. A hub is slidably mounted to the pole and includes a first hole corresponding to the first hole in the pole and the collapsed state of the stand and a notch corresponding to the second hole in the stand and the deployed state of the stand. A plurality of legs are pivotably attached to the hub, where the legs spread outward from the hub by the spreader when the stand is in the deployed state. In the deployed state, the hitch pin is inserted through the second hole in the pole and rests in the notch in the hub, where the notch preventing the pole from rotating relative to the hub.

Abstract: An improved mixing reservoir is disclosed used for supplying particles suspended in a liquid, in the form of a slurry, for delivery and recirculation within a recirculating system. The mixing reservoir includes an outlet port at its lowest point connected to a recirculation pump. The pump is arranged to draw the slurry from the mixing chamber and to cause a stream of the slurry to flow through the recirculating system. The improved mixing reservoir includes a plurality of inlet ports located on the mixing reservoir. Each inlet port is connected to the recirculating system and the stream of slurry, whereby the particles contained in the slurry are retained in suspension by the resulting chaotic motion of the colliding streams of slurry as they are returned to the mixing reservoir.
