Abstract: An apparatus and method for autonomously mixing multiple devices capable of storing and playing audio signals is provided. Multiple devices can be mixed into one standard stereo signal that can then be played on any sort of powered speakers or amplifier. The apparatus is capable of receiving multiple audio inputs and can combine multiple iPods®, iPhones®, MP3 devices, or other devices capable of storing and playing audio signals, such that more than one device can be played at one time. No human intervention is required to control the device when the device is in autonomous mode. The autonomous mode can include random song playback using multiple devices.

Abstract: A safety gate apparatus (10) for a platform loading area with a guardrail (G) having an opening includes a frame positioned across the opening. A first gate (100) pivotally attaches to the frame for movement between a lowered position blocking access to the loading area, and a raised position to provide unobstructed access to the loading area. A second gate (200) moveably attaches to the frame for movement between a lowered position preventing access through guardrail opening and a raised position allowing access through the opening. Pulleys (28) attached to the frame are operatively connected between the gates so when the first gate is in its lowered position the second gate is in its raised position, and when the first gate is in its raised position the second gate is in its lowered position.

Abstract: A safety gate (10) comprises an isolation gate (100) having a rail (28) extending the width of an opening in a perimeter handrail, and side rails (14a, 14b and 16a, 16b) extending along opposite sides of a pallet loading area. The isolation gate prevents access to the area when lowered. A perimeter gate (200) has a frame (28) installed between two posts (22a, 22b). One end of a rope (R) attaches to this frame and the other end attaches to side rails on the sides of the isolation gate. When the perimeter gate is lowered to protect workers on the platform, the isolation gate is raised. When a pallet is to be placed on the platform, lowering the isolation gate raises the perimeter gate. The lowered isolation gate protects workers from falling off the platform. When the pallet is in place, the perimeter gate is lowered back down.
