Abstract: A media drive security bin with a hydraulic lift table for storing and transporting media drives while ensuring secure tracking and retrieval of the media drives from the bin. The lift table features a foot pedal operation to raise the table and hand lever for lowering. A secure scanner is mounted along a chamber entrance to provide recordation of all information pertinent to the holding and transportation of the media data drives. A window provides ease of visual confirmation of the media bin contents.

Abstract: A method of tracking a provenance of a fur or a leather skin includes providing at least one of an animal, a fur pelt, and a leather skin, removing a DNA sample from the at least one of the animal, the fur pelt, and the leather skin, and storing the DNA sample. The DNA sample and DNA information is stored in a DNA repository that may be securely accessed by authorized individuals through a networked device, such as a computer, smart phone, or tablet. The method further includes assigning a globally unique identifier number to the at least one of the animal, the fur pelt, and the leather skin and storing the identifier number. The method further includes selling the at least one of the animal, the fur pelt, and the leather skin and storing sale information and associating the sale information with at least one of the identifier number and the DNA sample.

Abstract: An apparatus for destroying electronic data and providing selective storage for recycling having a first stage for shredding data storage devices into particles less than 20 mm×20 mm; a second stage that separates metal particles from non-metal particles; and a third stage for shredding non-metal into particle sizes of less than 2 mm×2 mm. A first bin is used to collect separated metal particles, a second bin is used to collect separated non-metal particles, and a vacuum system is used to collect airborne particles.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in destroying a data storage device and separating materials for recycling. The apparatus employs: a first stage of rough cutting wherein the data storage device is shredded into pieces approximately 30 mm×30 mm; a second stage that separates shredded metal material, such as spindles, from non-metal material by use of a magnetized roller having a scraper to the metal material to a first bin and non-metal material to a third stage having an upper level shredder and a lower level shredder for grinding the non-metal material into particle sizes of 10 mm×10 mm or less.

Abstract: A security bin formed from a commercially available rectangular plastic bin having removable lids that are secured to the bin to prevent unauthorized access to the items placed therein. The lids are locked with a tamperproof flap and latching hook to prevent access to the bin contents. Plexiglass windows allow viewing of materials placed within the bin. Spring pins allow ease of lid movement for access to the bin contents, or allow removal of the windows to allow stacking for storage and shipping. An optional scanner can be mounted to one of the lids for recording and tracking of storage media placed within the bin.

Abstract: A method of tracking a provenance of a fur or a leather skin includes providing at least one of an animal, a fur pelt, and a leather skin, removing a DNA sample from the at least one of the animal, the fur pelt, and the leather skin, and storing the DNA sample. The DNA sample and DNA information is stored in a DNA repository that may be securely accessed by authorized individuals through a networked device, such as a computer, smart phone, or tablet. The method further includes assigning a globally unique identifier number to the at least one of the animal, the fur pelt, and the leather skin and storing the identifier number. The method further includes selling the at least one of the animal, the fur pelt, and the leather skin and storing sale information and associating the sale information with at least one of the identifier number and the DNA sample.

Abstract: A method of tracking a provenance of a fur or a leather skin includes providing at least one of a live animal, a fur pelt, and a leather skin, removing a DNA sample from the at least one of the live animal, the fur pelt, and the leather skin, and storing the DNA sample. The DNA sample and DNA information is stored in a DNA repository that may be securely accessed by authorized individuals through a networked device, such as a computer, smart phone, or tablet. The method further includes assigning a globally unique identifier number to the at least one of the live animal, the fur pelt, and the leather skin and storing the identifier number. The method further includes selling the at least one of the live animal, the fur pelt, and the leather skin and storing sale information and associating the sale information with at least one of the identifier number and the DNA sample.

Abstract: A towed cart and implement having a brake assembly enabled for independent application of the cart brake assembly without application of the brakes of prime mover in a burst application of the brake assembly for a predetermined duration. A brake control system includes a display which indicates the capacity of the brake assembly for burst application based on a temperature of a brake assembly component. The temperature may be measured or estimated based on duration and timing of burst brake applications.

Abstract: A metering system includes a plurality of metering elements that are independently controllable. A calibration method of the present disclosure includes generating calibration factors for the individual metering elements. Also, a method of the present disclosure includes operating the metering elements according to the respective calibration factor.
