Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An apparatus for executing a rule includes at least one memory, machine readable instructions, and processor circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to access a property value from a data collector, the property value including an operational value of a workstation within a process control system, create a data model instance representing the workstation, apply the property value to the data model instance, identify a rule associated with the data model instance, cause execution of an executable package associated with the rule using the data model instance; and record a result of the execution of the executable package.

Abstract: A compound packing and ejecting device for a front or slide loading refuse vehicle for packing refuse from a charging hopper into an associated storage body and later ejecting the refuse from a rearward portion of the storage body without tilting the storage body. A loading device may be used to load refuse or recyclables from the front or side of the vehicle into the charging hopper. A plurality of compound packing and ejecting devices may be mounted within the charging hopper. The packing and ejecting device includes packing cylinders and ejecting cylinders coupled to a packer panel, wherein the expansion of the packing cylinders, with the ejecting cylinders retracted, linearly displaces the packer panel through a first longitudinal portion of the storage body and expansion of the ejecting cylinders, together with expansion of the packing cylinders, displaces the packer panel through the remainder of the storage body.

Abstract: A vehicle mounted reciprocating refuse packing or ejecting mechanism designed to operate along and carried by spaced parallel rails include a pair of spaced parallel bottom rails mounted in the vehicle body and a packer or ejection mechanism designed to be carried by the rails in the vehicle body. A pair of spaced wear shoes are located between the rails and the mechanism and a pair of inwardly directed shaped members mounted along the inner side walls of the vehicle body and above each side of the mechanism. The shaped members are parallel to the rails, each having wear surface at least partially directed downward. A pair of spaced upper wear pads associated with the mechanism, each wear pad having an upper surface matching an adjacent one of said upper wear surfaces are also provided.
