  • Patent number: 11807549
    Abstract: A mobile processing system is disclosed for the removal of radioactive contaminants from nuclear process waste water. The system is fully scalable, modular, and portable allowing the system to be fully customizable according the site-specific remediation requirements. It is designed to be both transported and operated from standard sized intermodal containers or custom designed enclosures for increased mobility between sites and on-site, further increasing the speed and ease with which the system may be deployed. Additionally, the system is completely modular wherein the various different modules perform different forms or stages of waste water remediation and may be connected in parallel and/or in series. Depending on the needs of the particular site, one or more different processes may be used. In some embodiments, one or more of the same modules may be used in the same operation.

  • Publication number: 20050284037
    Abstract: A knockdown gazebo is provided which is readily disassembled into small pieces of 4 feet or less in length so that, in its disassembled state, it can be transported in the backseat of almost any passenger automobile. The gazebo can also be fully assembled without ladders and without special tools. The roof structure includes a plurality of multi-sectional rafters and joists and four corner assembly for supporting the roof structure. Each corner assembly includes upper and lower sections and each upper and lower section includes first and second panels that are connected perpendicularly to each other. The assembled gazebo is extremely sturdy and durable. A fabric sheet is provided to cover the roof structure. The gazebo may be assembled by first connecting the roof structure and the upper sections of the corner assemblies together. The roof fabric is then applied to the roof without requiring the use of ladders.

  • Publication number: 20050229956
    Abstract: An instant gazebo is provided which is movable between an open and closed position quickly and which is side supported to allow maximum flexibility for placement of furniture in the gazebo. The gazebo includes an openable and closable canopy to which is connected a screen enclosure which extends completely around the periphery of the canopy. The screen enclosure may remain attached to the canopy in both the open and closed positions of the gazebo. The preferred actuation mechanism for the gazebo includes an elongated curved support arm which slides through a hollow sleeve carried at the top of a supporting mast. The support arm slides through the hollow sleeve as the gazebo is opened or closed. After the support arm is raised by the user, a hand crank is actuated to open the canopy. A rotatable mast support allows the gazebo to be easily rotated about the axis of the mast.
