Abstract: A system for systematically disinfecting shopping carts and other items includes an arch through which shopping carts or other items may be passed and disinfected. For disinfecting, carts are pushed through a passageway defined by the arch while nozzles positioned in the arch are actuated to dispense a disinfecting fluid. A fine mist of disinfecting fluid envelopes all surfaces of the cart as it passes through the passageway, thereby sanitizing the entire surface area of the cart with a reduction or elimination of residue accumulation. When spraying is deactivated, at least one solenoid is controlled to depressurize the tubing connected to the nozzles.

Abstract: An Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) includes a Direct Current (DC) alternator run off an auxiliary engine, and a power inverter to convert the DC power to AC power. The APU also runs an Air Conditioning compressor to provide cooling and heat from engine coolant in the auxiliary engine is used to provide heating. The APU is particularly useful for providing cooling, heating, and AC power for long haul trucks, and motor homes. An alternative embodiment for local trucks does not include the inverter.
