Publication number: 20190382224Abstract: A highway towable dock-lift trailer for use in loading and/or unloading trucks, rail cars, containers, etc., for example, in any location and across all industries and applications, and can include a tow bar that allows the trailer be towed to a desirable position or location. When the tow bar is removed from the trailer or repositioned relative to the frame, either a truck can back into position or the trailer lift can be positioned against the truck, etc., and the trailer lift is then ready to load and/or offload the truck. As an operator elevates the loading platform of the trailer, via hydraulic lifting means, for example, the lift can move up to truck height and hydraulically operated lifting arms can operate opposed automatic folding ramps, which simultaneously can open for load distribution and close for safety.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2018Publication date: December 19, 2019Applicant: Superior Handling Equipment, LLCInventors: Michael S. Vollmar, Robert A. Johnson, Carl Eugene Barbour, Harley James Barbour, Gary Clark, Michael Kocur

Patent number: 5244814Abstract: The presence of decay is determined in wood by testing a sample. The wood tested may be standing timber, cut timber or when coated in building structures. The testing occurs in very short time intervals so that tests can be carried out on timber in mills and the like. The method of testing includes heating a portion of a wood sample at a temperature in the range of about 220.degree. to 350.degree. C. to evaporate analytes from the wood, conveying the analytes in a sample gas flow into an ionizing chamber of an ion mobility spectrometer detector, ionizing the analytes within the ionizing chamber at a temperature in the range of about 220.degree. to 350.degree. C., generating an ion drift time signature in the detector, and comparing the signature with predetermined signatures representing decay in wood.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1991Date of Patent: September 14, 1993Assignee: Forintek Canada CorporationInventors: R.

Patent number: 5071771Abstract: A method and apparatus to produce an ion mobility signature representing a wood sample provides a method of comparing signatures to identify the species of the wood sample. A method of producing an ion drift time signature representing a wood species comprises heating at least a portion of a wood sample at a temperature in the range of about 220.degree. to 350.degree. C. to desorb and produce trace vapors from the wood sample, ionize the trace vapors at a temperature in the range of about 220.degree. to 350.degree. C., pulse ions through a gate into a drift region, measure the time of arrival of the ions and the ion flux for each pulse, with a collector electrode, located at the end of the drift region to produce an ionic signal, and amplify and average the ionic signal to provide an ion drift time signature for the wood sample.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1989Date of Patent: December 10, 1991Assignee: Forintek Canada CorporationInventors: R. James Barbour, Ludmila L. Danylewych-May, Roger Sutcliffe
