Abstract: A mobile apparatus and method for treating contaminated soil is disclosed. The apparatus consists of three interconnected subunits, namely a fluidized bed reactor for segregating an aqueous soil slurry based on particle size; a metals extraction unit for removing heavy metals and other contaminants from the contaminated soil fraction; and a water treatment system utilizing a high density sludge process to remove metals from the contaminated aqueous phase. The fluidized bed reactor includes a relatively small mixing chamber and a relatively large settling chamber which are partially separated by a baffle. Pressurized gas and foaming agent are dispersed into the mixing chamber to segregate the soil particles into a first fraction containing relatively small, contaminated soil particles and a second fraction containing relatively large, uncontaminated soil particles. The first fraction is continuously withdrawn from an upper portion of the reactor as a foam and a soil slurry containing the relatively uncontaminated second fraction is continuously withdrawn from a lower portion of the reactor. The soil slurry is dewatered by means of a hydrocyclone and a solids trap. Water, foaming agent and any suspended fines are recycled to the reactor vessel.

Date Sep. 12, 1997In order to enable a decorative panel of a table, such as that used in fast food restaurants bars etc., to be readily interchanged in accordance with changes in season or game popularity etc., one of the moldings provided about the edge of the table is arranged to be disconnectable from the remainder of the table to expose a side edge of the decorative panel. In some embodiments, the panel is slidably received in grooves which are formed in moldings while in other embodiments the panel is adhered to the surface of the table top using dual-sided tape. When the panel is retained by way of grooves, the removal of the disconnectable molding permits the panel to be slid out and replaced. On the other hand, when the panel is secured to the table top using the dual-sided tape, removal of the removable molding exposes an edge of the panel in a manner which facilitates the application of the necessary lever action to overcome the bonding force of the tape and lift the panel up off the table in readiness for replacement with another. If desired, special lock pins which require special tools for manipulation can be used in conjunction with the panels to prevent unauthorized interchange.

Abstract: A method of directional radio communication and mobile communication network between a first station and a second mobile consists of the following steps. Consecutive bursts of communication data transmitted from the second station are identified at the first station. Respective beam directions from which sequential communication data bursts are received by the first station are determined from a plurality of adjacent beam directions. One or more of the beam directions are selected for transmission of signals from the first station to the second station so that when it is determined that the sequential communication data bursts are received by the first station from two different beam directions, the two different beam directions are simultaneously selected for transmission of the signal from the first station to the second station.

Abstract: A vehicle having three or more wheels, supporting substantially all of the vehicle weight on its wheels, for removing a traffic marking from a road surface, has a vertically floating head cutter mechanism comprising a mounting shroud having an open bottom and being suspended from the vehicle in substantially vertically movable relation with respect to the vehicle by two or more vertical guides. The vertical guides define upper and lower limits of vertical travel of the mounting shroud and are dimensioned and otherwise adapted to locate the mounting shroud in an operative intermediate position between the upper and lower limit positions. First and second cutter head assemblies are operatively mounted within the mounting shroud adjacent the open bottom for counter-rotation about respective first and second axes, which axes are preferably canted from zero degrees to ten degrees to the vertical. Hydraulic drive motors are operatively connected to the first and second cutter head assemblies for causing the counter-rotation thereof. Biasing springs and hydraulically actuated cylinders are interconnected between the mounting shroud and the vehicle for biasing the mounting shroud towards the lower limit position and for resiliently urging the first and second cutter head assemblies into cutting engagement with the road surface through the open bottom of the mounting shroud, with a substantially constant cutting force applied by each cutter head assembly to the road surface irrespective of irregularities encountered in the road surface as the vehicle moves therealong.
