Abstract: A surveying device 15 measures a surface profile of a terrain of a worksite 14 and generates surface profile data. Simulated route data is received indicative of a simulated route 12 of a work machine 11 moving over the terrain. Simulated machine operational data is receivedindicative of an operating parameter of the work machine moving along the simulated route. The data is processed to generate monitored operating condition data indicative of a monitored operating condition of work machine. A work machine moves along a route over the terrain in accordance with the operating parameter and generates machine operational data indicative of the operating parameter. A navigation system determines the route and generates route data. The simulated route data and actual route data are processed and the simulated route data is updated based upon actual route data. The simulated machine operational data and actual machine operational data are processed and the simulated machine operational data is updated.

Title: Process for plastics separation
Inventor: Thomas Aspray
IPC: E02B15/00
Filed: 2020-09-25
Abstract: A process comprising (a) shredding or chopping a mixture of plastics material and seaweed comprising air bladders, such that the seaweed air bladders are perforated, to form a shredded material, (b) combining the shredded material with a fluid and allowing the material to separate into a floating fraction containing plastics material and a submerged fraction containing seaweed, (c) and collecting each fraction from the fluid. The fluid is ideally sea water or water. The process may include mechanical agitation of the shredded material and fluid. The process is used to separate beach-cast plastics material from seaweed. Shredding the mixture of plastics and seaweed reduces the buoyancy of the seaweed by perforating the air bladders but does not alter the buoyancy of the plastics so allows separation by fluid density. An apparatus for separating beach-cast plastics material from seaweed comprising air bladders, the apparatus comprising a shredding means to chop or shred a mixture of seaweed and plastics material to produce a shredded material, a container for holding a volume of water to allow a formation of a floating fraction and a submerged fraction from the shredded material and means to remove either fraction from the container. The apparatus may additionally comprise agitation means and a conveyor belt at the bottom of the container for removing submerged materials.
