Abstract: An ADS-B to the surface system has a modified ADS-B UAT to the surface which receives traffic and weather information from a nearby FAA ADS-B Ground Based Transceiver. The UAT to the surface sends the information to a UAT computer which then packages and sends traffic and weather data over an appropriate network to one or more remote computers. The system also has a mini ADS-B Ground Based Transceiver which provides local traffic information to the remote computer which consolidates the information with the information from the UAT computer and then sends the consolidated information to the mini ADS-B Ground Based Transceiver which transmits the information to local aircraft. The remote computer also sends local only data to the FAA over an appropriate network for inclusion in the FAA Ground Based Transceiver information.

Abstract: Self-cleaning bucket wheel lock comprising several cells or compartments. The apparatus which permits coalescent material to be introduced into a closed apparatus comprises a casing with a material inlet and discharge outlet, and a rotor basket. The rotor basket is mounted in position on a drive shaft passing through the casing and an elastic hose is secured to the rotor basket. The hose enables the volume of each cell to be varied whenever the drive shaft is caused to rotate.
