Abstract: Apparatus for tracking and recovering humans utilizes an implantable transceiver incorporating a power supply and actuation system allowing the unit to remain implanted and functional for years without maintenance. The implanted transmitter may be remotely actuated, or actuated by the implantee. Power for the remote-activated receiver is generated electromechanically through the movement of body muscle. The device is small enough to be implanted in a child, facilitating use as a safeguard against kidnapping, and has a transmission range which also makes it suitable for wilderness sporting activities. A novel biological monitoring feature allows the device to be used to facilitate prompt medical dispatch in the event of heart attack or similar medical emergency. A novel sensation-feedback feature allows the implantee to control and actuate the device with certainty.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided using a standard sized and shaped roll-off trash container sealed to contain contaminated soils to be treated with a central lengthwise vacuum tube to draw off vapors through a blower with air intake tubing aligned along the lengthwise side walls to distribute air to the soil mass with valve controls on the intake openings with the container having an openable side to dump the cleansed soil after treatment.
