  • Publication number: 20040020377
    Abstract: The present invention disclosed herein provides a transportable recycling center (10) that has a container (12) and a partition (18) within the container (12). The partition (18) separates a work area (20) from a storage area (22). An attendant may accept recyclable materials from consumers in the work area (20) and store the recyclable material in the storage area (22). After the container (12) has been filled with recyclable material, doors (14, 16) on the container (12) may be secured and the container (12) may be loaded onto a truck and transported to a recycling facility.

  • Publication number: 20020046144
    Abstract: A computer system, and methods for making and using it, for manipulating digital electrical signals to produce an illustration of a decomposition of property into separately valued components. The computer system includes a digital electrical computer controlled by a processor. There is a first logic means controlling the processor in manipulating digital electrical signals representing input data to the computer, the input data characterizing at least two components decomposed from the property, the manipulating including transforming the digital electrical signals into modified digital electrical signals representing respective values for each of the components, the values being computed to reflect taxation for the components. Input means is coupled to the computer and operable for converting the input data into the digital electrical signals and communicating the digital electrical signals to the computer.
