Abstract: A system is provided for providing enhanced suction evacuation of a fluid storage tank, the system having a suction pipe disposed parallel and proximate to the bottom of the tank, having a section of the pipe proximal to the bottom of the tank being an opening through which the liquid is evacuated. The system may further provide a sump that is disposed on the bottom of the tank and not aligned with the opening of the suction pipe.

Abstract: An access tower comprises a movable wheeled base (10) to which is mounted one end of a scissor lift mechanism (12), the other end of which supports a working platform (14). The scissor lift (12) can be actuated to displace the working platform (14) between a fully retracted or stowed condition and a fully extended or deployed condition.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for making a pigment composition comprising inorganic base particles and one or more inorganic spacer particles precipitated thereon, including the steps of forming an aqueous slurry of the inorganic base particles, if necessary, milling the aqueous slurry so that at least about 50% of the inorganic base particles are less than 0.5 microns in size, heating the slurry as needed to achieve and maintain a temperature of at least about 40 degrees Celsius, adjusting the pH of the slurry as needed to achieve and maintain a pH in the range of from 4 to 9, adding the inorganic spacer particles to the slurry while maintaining such temperature and pH conditions and with intensive mixing, and finally, recovering the pigment composition from the slurry.

Abstract: An automatic buffing machine and method for automatically buffing a golf ball are disclosed. The golf ball is oriented such that the flash ring is in a predetermined plane and then the flash ring is removed. The golf ball matrix is preferably utilized to orient the golf ball and both cutting and sanding are preferably used to remove the flash ring.
