  • Publication number: 20230039419
    Abstract: A non-ferrous non-reactive precast shoreline restoration and retention solution may include at least one generally hexagonal structure including a body having a first end opposite a second end. The body may define a passage from the first end to the second end and at least one aperture defined in the side or sides of the body. The at least one aperture may be constructed and arranged to allow fluid flow through the passage of the at least one generally hexagonal structure. In this way, at least one or a plurality of non-ferrous non-reactive precast shoreline restoration solution may reduce erosion of shoreline and reef by functioning as a wave break in an aquatic operating environment.

  • Patent number: 11079156
    Abstract: An ice bagger is provided. The ice bagger includes an ice hopper into which ice is disposed from an ice manufacturer. The ice hopper further includes an ice agitator. The ice hopper defines an ice trough positioned beneath the ice hopper. An ice auger is housed inside the ice trough. The ice auger transports ice to an ice delivery chute. A hatch is positioned beneath the ice delivery chute, upon which the bag rests while filling. The ice delivery chute and the hatch define a bag filling area such that, when bags are present in the bag filling area, the bags are positioned to be filled. A scale is positioned on the hatch. The scale weighs the ice being deposited into the bag. When the bag is full, the bag is sealed by a sealer. When the bag is sealed, the hatch opens and the bag of ice is deposited in an bag depository. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

  • Patent number: 6850894
    Abstract: An electronic shopping system for selling vehicle devices stores, in a database, installation kit information indicating an installation kit required to install a vehicle device, for each combination of the vehicle device and a vehicle type and also stores information about installation dealers which are to install sold vehicle devices. On the basis of the location of a consumer input via a consumer terminal device, possible installation dates/times given by the consumer, and the dealer information stored in the database, a web server determines the installation dealer and the installation date/time and sends information about the determined installation dealer and installation date/time to the consumer terminal device.
