  • Publication number: 20230173370
    Abstract: A golfing level assembly includes a cap that has a brim which extends above a user's line of sight when the user is wearing the cap. A pair of hinges is each disposed on the brim and each of the hinges is positionable in a deployed position or a stored position. A bubble level is coupled to each of the hinges and the bubble level is spaced downwardly from the brim when the hinges are positioned in the deployed position such that the bubble level is positioned within the user's line of sight. The bubble level has a reference line extending along a full length of the bubble level and the reference line is aligned with the visible horizon. In this way the bubble level indicates the degree of slope of the putting green to assist the user with successfully putting on the putting green.

  • Patent number: 9630546
    Abstract: A container handling system is adapted to move, deploy, and retrieve containers used to manage waste or other materials. The container handling system includes a vehicle and a hoist unit coupled to the vehicle to move therewith and relative to the vehicle. The hoist unit includes a hoist frame and a hoist-frame mover coupled to both the vehicle and the hoist frame to cause the hoist frame to move between a transport position in which the hoist frame is generally horizontal and a use position in which the hoist frame is arranged at an angle relative to the horizontal to facilitate deployment and retrieval of containers.

  • Publication number: 20060000916
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing a radio frequency identification. A barrier system is adapted to encase at least a portion of a radio frequency identification device. The barrier system includes a first layer defining a first set of physical properties and a second layer defining a second set of physical properties. A continuous transitory material is formed between the first and the second layers where they are interlinked at associated first and second margin portions. The physical properties of each layer of the barrier system provide protection to the component assembly from various types of physical and environmental damage.

  • Publication number: 20060003137
    Abstract: A system and method for encapsulating and protecting a component assembly is disclosed. A barrier system comprising a first layer having a first set of physical properties and a second layer having a second set of physical properties is adapted to protectively surround the component assembly. A continuous transitory material is formed between the first layer and the second layer at associated first and second margin portions such that the first layer and the second layer are not prone to delamination. The physical properties of each layer of the barrier system provide protection to the component assembly from various types of physical and environmental damage.
