Patent IE-S86132-B2 (IE)
Title: A refuse collection system and method
Inventor: MCSWEENEY PAUL TERENCE
IPC: B65F3/00
Filed: 2012-06-01
Abstract: This invention relates to a refuse collection system and method in which there are provided a plurality of households, each having their own refuse bin, a control centre computer in communication with each of the refuse bins, and a plurality of collection vehicles in communication with the control centre computer. An RFID tag with information regarding the type of refuse is associated with refuse prior to the refuse being placed in the refuse bin. Preferably, the refuse is placed in a dedicated pod with an RFID attached thereto. The bin has an RFID reader that reads the RFID tag, determines what types of refuse are contained within the bin and thereafter transmits the information to the control centre computer. The control centre computer thereafter schedules the delivery of one or more types of refuse from the refuse bins and transmits a collection itinerary to a collection vehicle. Advantageously, third party logistics providers may utilize their backhaul capacity and operate as collection vehicles if desired.

Title: System and method for leveling an appliance
Inventor: GRACE JAMES M
IPC: B60B33/06
Filed: 2002-07-15
Granted: 2004-08-12
Abstract: A wheeled leveling device is provided that includes a cabinet bracket, a wheel assembly, and an adjustment screw. The cabinet bracket includes a pair of slots that include detent portions. The wheel assembly includes a roller rotatably secured to a wheel assembly bracket.

Title: Jet blast resistant vehicle arresting blocks, beds and methods
Inventor: ANGLEY RICHARD D
IPC: B64F1/02
Filed: 2002-09-13
Granted: 2009-03-19
Abstract: A block of compressible material, such as cellular concrete, provides compressive failure characteristics suitable for arresting travel of an aircraft (or other vehicle) overrunning a runway (or other surface). Relatively thin frangible material positioned above the block provides a stronger, more damage resistant surface, while still readily fracturing in an arresting incident. Intermediate material, such as a foam layer, positioned under the frangible material may be included to provide a protective cushioning effect by mitigating transmission of external phenomena forces to the block. A fastening configuration at least partially enclosing other portions of the arresting unit provides a stable unified composite, without destroying desired compressive failure characteristics of the unit. Arresting units may also include a bottom layer of material stronger than the block of compressible material and a sealant coating with water resistant properties.

Title: Array for rapid detection of a microorganism
Inventor: MARTIN STEPHANIE M
IPC: C12M1/34
Filed: 2007-07-18
Granted: 2012-09-13
Abstract: A method for detecting a microorganism or class of microorganisms is provided. More specifically, the method employs an array that contains a plurality of discrete regions (referred to as "addresses") spaced apart on a solid support in a predetermined pattern. The addresses are selected so that the array provides a distinct spectral response (e.g., pattern of colors) or "fingerprint" for a particular microorganism or class of microorganisms. For example, the array may provide a certain spectral response in the presence of one microorganism or class of microorganisms (e.g., gram-negative bacteria), but provide a completely different spectral response in the presence of another microorganism or class of microorganisms (e.g., gram-positive bacteria). Detection of the spectral response provided by the array may thus allow for differentiation between microorganisms.
