Abstract: A floating fountain with internal ultraviolet water treatment, which comprises a chamber adapted to float near the water surface in a water environment, a water inlet on the top of the chamber for receiving surface water from the water environment, a pump inside the chamber for receiving water from the water inlet, an ultraviolet source for treating water; and a water outlet nozzle at the top of the chamber for receiving water which has been treated with ultraviolet energy and pumped, to provide a pumped-water stream above the water surface.

Abstract: An automatic pallet to platform locking system enables pallets of supplies or cargoes to automatically be locked down onto the top of a transportation platform, thus avoiding the use of tie down straps and allowing for automated material handling equipment (MHE) such as a forklift. The present system replaces older, difficult to reconfigure, mostly manual loading and unloading systems and methods with a mechanical interface that allows for relatively easy reconfiguration for different pallet sizes, and that can simplify the task of loading and unloading pallets. The mechanical interface between a pallet and a transportation platform or flatbed is a metal to metal interface. It eliminates the need to tie and secure a strap, which is a time consuming and manual process.
