    摘要: A distribution system (100), which includes the steps of: transporting (102) a container (110) on a chassis (112) of a tractor trailer (114) to and aligning it with a buffer (116); raising (104) the container (110) with a support structure (118) a predetermined height; entering (106) a containment cavity (122) of the buffer (116); and lowering (108) the container (110) on a container stand (124) of the buffer (116), to allow the chassis (112) to exit while allowing the container (110) to remain. The system is simple in construction, robust and provides for efficiencies in the transportation and logistics industry, by allowing drivers and distribution personnel to work independently, and allowing drivers to drop off containers at off peak hours to frees them up to go to their next destination.

    摘要: A hub and distribution system (600) is disclosed. It comprises the steps of: delivering (602) a container via rail to a terminal; assigning (604) a corridor as to where to deliver the container, the corridor including a block of pathways in proximity to a track side location; picking (606) the container from a rail car and placing (608) it in one of the pathways in the corridor; and transporting (610) the container to a desired remote destination. The system provides an efficient, effective and semi-automated post-blocking method, such that each post-blocked group of containers has a similar desired remote destination, so that the containers can be easily located, loaded, handed-off and transported to a desired location.

    摘要: A transfer method (600) is disclosed. It includes: delivering (602) a container via a rail car on train rails to a terminal; assigning (604) a corridor as to where to deliver the container, the corridor including a plurality of pathways in proximity to a track side location, each pathway including a containment cavity configured to receive a first handoff of the container from a crane to a first pathway and provide a second handoff of the container from the first pathway to a hauler, the plurality of pathways being substantially adjacent, aligned and in parallel and being configured at an angle of about 15 degrees or more to the train rails; picking (606) with a crane the container from a rail car and placing the container in the containment cavity comprising the first handoff in the corridor; and handing-off the container in the containment cavity of a pathway to a hauler comprising the second handoff, for facilitating transporting the container from the terminal to a desired remote destination via a hauler. The method provides an efficient, effective and semi-automated post-blocking method, such that each post-blocked group of containers has a similar desired remote destination, so that the containers can be easily located, loaded, handed-off and transported to a desired location.

    摘要: A security system with a driver circuit for energizing a solenoid actuated locking device. The circuit can include a microprocessor, a battery power supply, a boosting circuit and an energy storage circuit. The battery voltage can be stepped up by the boosting circuit and the stepped up voltage can be stored in the energy storage circuit. A solenoid driver circuit including a plurality of transistors arranged in an H-bridge configuration supply energy from the storage circuit to the solenoid under control of the microprocessor. The security system can be retrofited or is factory installable, and is particularly adapted for roll down doors and enclosures.
