Abstract: A clamping system for mating an I-Beam frame to an undercarriage is disclosed. The clamping system utilizes clamping brackets to secure the undercarriage to the trailer frame. The undercarriage has adapter sides oriented perpendicular to the undercarriage adapter bottom. The clamping brackets have two portions oriented perpendicular to each other. Holes are located in the clamping brackets to receive bolts or screws. The trailer frame is aligned onto the undercarriage and positioned such that proper tongue weight is applied. The clamping brackets are rigidly installed on the clamping bracket sides. Clamping screws are installed into the clamping brackets and torqued to a value such that a compressive force is applied between the bottom of the I-Beam and the undercarriage adapter bottom. The compressive force applied prevents unwanted relative motion between the I-Beam frame and the undercarriage during use.

Abstract: A customer search terminal system may be configured to accept customer product searches and identify corresponding products and product information. A method for determining the efficacy of the customer search terminal may include receiving customer usage information including data related to customer usage of a customer search terminal and may also include receiving product sales information including data related to products sold at a point-of-sale terminal. The method may further include generating customer purchase behavior information by correlating the received customer search terminal usage information with the received product sales information when a product is sold at the point-of-sale terminal within a prescribed time period relative to a search for the product on the customer search terminal.

Abstract: A bulk sample is fed with a liquid into a mixing tank (1) where it is stirred to form a dispersion. A proportion of the dispersion is recycled from the bottom of the tank through a line to the top of the tank so that at least the dispersion in the recycle loop (3) is substantially homogeneous, and a representative sample of the dispersion is taken from the recycle loop, e.g. using a slurry sampler (5).

Abstract: A system comprising a passive-optical locator to generate information indicative of an absolute location associated with a target and a remotely controlled actuator. The passive-optical locator comprises a passive-optical range-finder to generate information indicative of a distance to the target and at least one sensor to generate information indicative of an azimuth and an elevation of an optical axis of the passive optical range-finder. The passive-optical locator uses information indicative of a geographic location associated with the passive-optical locator, the information indicative of the distance to the target, and the information indicative of the azimuth and the elevation of the optical axis to determine information indicative of an absolute location associated with the target.

Abstract: A system comprising an imaging device and a passive-optical range-finder to focus, on the imaging device, a magnified image of a target positioned in a focal plane of the passive-optical range-finder. The system receives information indicative of a target type and generates information indicative of an absolute geographic location for the target based on at least the target type and information output by the imaging device.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are described for a guard for a rotating member. The guard comprises a shell surrounding the rotating member, and a plenum member concentrically spaced from an interior surface of the shell, the shell comprising an inlet for receiving air and an outlet for discharging the air so that rotation of the rotating member draws air through the inlet and into the plenum member and the air circulates through the plenum member to cool the shell before it exhausts through the outlet.
