A system, elements of the system and a method of forming scalable, compatible and resilient building structures. Preferably, one or more of (i) standard intermodal containers or racks (steel cuboidal versions as well as flat racks typically used on cargo ships); (ii) pallet racks (steel frame versions typically used in warehouses), and/or (iii) boat storage racks (steel frame versions typically used in marinas) are utilized to form a main structure/assembly (e.g., outer shell or frame) of a building structure that is easily assembled with width ranges from, for example, 24 feet wide to 40 feet wide, a length of 40 feet or longer and multiple stories or levels (e.g., 2 to 4 stories or levels). Preferably, existing portions of containers and associated racks are used to interconnect these members/elements (e.g., casting corners or fork-lift receiving channels/sections/portions) to form scalable, compatible and resilient building structures.

Resilient building and site construction system and method

A verification procedure is performed when a tracking device is newly installed in a vehicle. The procedure involves transmitting a command to the tracking device to either disable or enable the vehicle starter. The installer is then prompted to engage the starter to start the vehicle. The tracking device then monitors the voltages on the vehicle's ignition wire and starter disable and starter enable wires going to a starter relay. The tracking device also monitors the state of a starter relay control wire. Measurement of the proper voltages on these wires provides verification that the tracking device has been connected properly. Continuing to monitor these voltages after installation provides an indication when a driver engages the starter in an attempt to start the vehicle.

A medical apparatus operable to induce localized hyperthermia in a patient via an electromagnetic field emitted by an antenna of an applicator connected to an output of the medical apparatus includes a signal generator, a bidirectional coupler, and a controller. The signal generator generates a radio frequency signal as a function of an operating parameter to a single cable to an applicator. The bidirectional coupler provides the radio frequency signal generated by the signal generator to the output and receives a reflected signal from the output at the applicator. First and second low pass filters isolate the radio frequency signal and reflected signal from a temperature sensing signal transmitted via the single cable to at least one temperature sensor of the applicator.

Single cable apparatus and method for hyperthermic treatments

A medical apparatus operable to induce localized hyperthermia in a patient via an electromagnetic field emitted by an antenna connected to an output of the medical apparatus includes a signal generator, a bidirectional coupler, and a controller. The signal generator generate radios frequency signal as a function of an operating parameter. The bidirectional coupler provides the radio frequency signal generated by the signal generator to the output and receives a reflected signal from the output. The controller receives the generated radio frequency signal from the signal generator, determines a power of the radiofrequency signal generated by the signal generator, receives the reflected signal from the bidirectional coupler, determines a power of the reflected signal, and determines delivery efficiency of the medical apparatus as a function of the power of the radiofrequency signal generated by the signal generator and the power of the reflected signal received from the bidirectional coupler.

Apparatus and method for hyperthermic treatments

A depth measuring apparatus for an excavator which includes an inclination sensor assembly mounted along the pivot axis between the stick arm boom and the bucket, a depth sensor mounted along the same pivot axis as well as a laser receiver for receiving a radiation establishing a reference level mounted coaxially with the pivot axis between the stick arm boom and the bucket such that after the reference level has been established, and the laser receiver is impinged by radiation each time it passes through the reference level, thereby zeroing out the measuring apparatus, the actual depth of a trench may be measured with respect to the reference level by considering the inclination of the bucket as well as the depth displayed by the depth sensor when the bucket is lowered into the trench.

Apparatus and method for controlling a hydraulic excavator

A quick coupling for attaching and detaching an implement, such as a bucket, pick or compactor, to the end of a boom or dipperstick of an excavator, backhoe, or other earth moving machine. The quick coupling is compatible with industry standard type hook-ups used on a bucket. The quick coupling is primarily a hook member, for receiving a front pivot pin on the top of the bucket or other implement, and a pivot pin assembly having axially movable end portions which move between a first position in which the end portions are contained within the main body of the coupling and the implement is detached, and a second position in which the end portions project from the main body and engage respective holes located on the implement and adapted to receive the pivot pin end portions thereby coupling the bucket or other implement to the end of the boom.
