Abstract: A cable handling system at an electrically powered mining or construction vehicle that includes a skid-steered tracked or wheeled vehicle body which is powered for motion by an electric motor. The vehicle is supplied electric power either by an on-board battery and/or fuel cell or through a trailing electrical cable which is arranged to be wound onto and unwound from a cable reel on the vehicle body. The system includes a cable guide assembly that includes an arm member and a cable guide mechanism. A first end of the arm member is rotatably attached at a rear of the vehicle body to be moveable horizontally up to about 90 degrees in either direction around the rear of the vehicle body through an arc centered in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle body.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for automatically stopping powered machinery, which employs a number of vision sensors. In one embodiment, the system includes vision sensors arranged such that they image different zones defined relative to the cutting tool. The images captured by the vision sensors are processed by the system in real time. If the user's body (e.g., hands) is deemed to be in an unsafe area relative to the cutting tool, the system is configured to automatically stop the cutting tool.

Abstract: A cake package for packaging full sheet cakes is shown with a cake base and a cake cover. The base tray is comprised of a combination of a one-ply plastic sheet and a two-ply corrugated cardboard. To assemble the present invention, a full sheet cake is first mounted to the cake base in the conventional manner. Food grade glue is applied at strategic points along a groove of the plastic tray base. Then, the cover is attached to the cake base by an interlocking snapping mechanism. The glue temporarily adheres the cover to the base, preventing separation. The rigid plastic three-ply base, together with the adhesive snap-seal eliminates the need for a cake board and allows for easy stacking without crushing. Ridges are located in the cake base and cake cover for increased strength.
