  • Publication number: 20070186980
    Abstract: A fluid delivery system for delivering at least one service fluid to at least one construction type equipment. The fluid delivery system includes a modular body including a main platform with a variety of different sizes of fluid vessels and at least one pump associated therewith. The fluid delivery system further includes hoses to facilitate the transfer of the fluids to construction equipment and hoses to facilitate the transfer of used fluids from construction equipment. A containment component is integrally formed with the modular body so as to provide the retaining of the fluid reservoirs during transit. An optional additional platform containing additional fluid vessels is capable of being attached to the front portion of the main platform, thereby increasing the total fluid storage capacity.

  • Patent number: 6920555
    Abstract: The invention provides tools and techniques for migration of user profiles in place on a computer. In one method, a first step provides a migration content storage partition to hold migration content such as user settings. This partition is provided by using a partition manipulation tool to obtain sufficient space on the computer. A second step saves migration content into the provided partition. A third step deploys an image into another partition on the computer, overwriting that partition. A fourth step then uses the migration tool to restore migration content from the migration content storage partition into the newly imaged partition, thereby customizing the new image with at least some of the former image's user settings. The migration content storage partition may then be deleted, or it may be retained and made available to the user as additional storage.
