Abstract: The hand truck for appliances is a device for moving a water heater and other appliances. The hand truck includes a main frame having a pair of wheels mounted on a lower end rearward of the main frame, and a support plate also mounted on the lower end and projecting forward from the main frame. The support plate has a front edge and a rear edge, with the rear edge being contoured to be received within a water heater drain pan, with the rear edge being positioned adjacent and contiguous to the inner wall of the water heater drain pan. This allows the water heater to be carried on the hand truck for appliances, supported by the support plate, in order to be placed directly into the water heater drain pan.

Abstract: An RF beam pointing apparatus (500, 600) compensates for the effects of settling errors on antenna pointing. The beam pointing apparatus includes an attitude reference system (502, 528, 530, 534) generating an antenna attitude output from the satellite attitude. Also included is attitude comparison circuitry (528, 530), coupled to the attitude reference system, that includes an antenna pointing error output. Control circuitry (528, 530) is coupled to the attitude reference system (502, 528, 530, 534) and the attitude comparison circuitry (528, 530). The control circuitry (528,530) directs the attitude comparison circuitry (528, 530) to generate control error output signals in response to dynamic settling antenna pointing errors induced by a mechanical slew on the satellite.
