Abstract:
This invention relates to the field of carts on wheels to make it easier to carry a trolling motor and battery to operate the trolling motor from a store to the customer's boat at a pier. A compartment for the battery is provided at the lower part of the cart above and adjacent to the wheels and a receiving recess for the cylindrical motor housing is provided at the lower part of the cart just forward of the battery compartment. When the cart is pivoted rearwardly on the wheels, the battery compartment and battery thereon is above the wheels and rotated slightly to the rear thereof and the receiving recess for the motor housing and motor thereon is above the wheels and rotated slightly to the front thereof for relatively uniform distribution of the weight of those items to better balance the carrying weight.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods of treating metal mine tailings. Embodiments of the method comprise separating the metal mine tailings into a highly contaminated fraction and a tolerable benign fraction, purifying the tolerable benign fraction and disposing the purified tolerable benign fraction within a managed environment, and sequestering the highly contaminated fraction in a sub-aqueous tailings management facility.

One aspect of the preferred embodiment relates to an application framework for managing mobile clients and application programs. By utilizing the preferred embodiment, a system administrator may be provided the capability to manage and control multiple devices, directly and indirectly, using push (server-initiated) and/or pull (client-initiated) techniques from a single location. Additionally, the preferred embodiment may be utilized to back up and securely store information on the mobile clients, identify device usage and to deliver files and databases to the mobile clients.

Abstract:
The identification of safe havens for hazardous material transports is provided. Safe havens include locations at which a hazardous material transport is less susceptible to an event that may result in a hazardous material release and/or a location at which the impact of a hazardous material release is reduced. When an event occurs indicating that hazardous material transports should be moved to safe havens, the locations of hazardous material transports are determined. Safe havens may then be determined for each hazardous material transport. In some cases, safe havens may be selected from a group of predetermined locations designated as safe havens. In some cases, locations may be dynamically designated as safe havens for hazardous material transports after the occurrence of an event. The hazardous material transports are then moved to the selected safe havens, thereby reducing their susceptibility to events and/or minimizing the impact of an event that involves a hazardous material transport.
Abstract:
An apparatus for treating slides has a base with a cavity, and a heater is located on a surface of the cavity. A tank, which supports a slide rack with the slides submerged in a slide treatment solution, is placed in the cavity with a tank surface immediately adjacent the heater. A temperature sensor is mounted in the base and is operable to provide a feedback signal representing a temperature of the liquid in the tank. A cover is removably hinged on the base to cover the tank. A control system is connected to the heater and the temperature sensor and has a user input/output that is operable to select a set temperature of the liquid and a cycle time.
Abstract:
Disclosed are vehicles used in transporting coarse ore in a mine and systems using the same. The vehicles include a drive mechanism for moving the vehicle along a surface; an inclinable conveyor positioned atop the drive mechanism for moving the coarse ore from a loading position to a discharge position; and vertically extending walls positioned along the longitudinal sides of the conveyor. The loading position of the conveyor being offset from the vertically extending walls and the discharge position of the conveyor extends beyond the vertically extending walls so that one vehicle can be positioned with respect to another to form a continuous walled conveyor. The vehicles and systems described herein do not require rails, so they can be manoeuvered within a mine to form a network from the mine face to a coarse ore unloading area.
