    Abstract: Systems and methods to detect and warn proximate entities of interest are described herein. An example signal generation system for a vehicle capable of different modes of movement includes a detector to determine at least one property of vehicle movement and an output representative of that at least one property and a selectively variable signal generator includes an input to receive the at least one output representative of the at least one property of vehicle movement and, responsively, generates a selected signal based on the received output. In some examples, a detector on a pedestrian detects the selected signal from the signal generator and, responsively, provides an output indicative of a vehicle in proximity to the pedestrian. In some examples, a trajectory vector is generated for at least two entities of interest based on at least one characteristic of movement of each entity. Each entity's trajectory vector is expanded and each entity's expanded trajectory vector is analyzed for overlap with the other entity's expanded trajectory vector to assess the possibility of a collision between them.

    Abstract: Surfaces or surface portions incorporated into gas-filled neutron detectors are coated with and/or composed of at least partially, neutron reactive material. The surfaces may be flat or curved fins or plates, porous or filamentary material, or semi-solid material or aerogel. The incorporation of the extended surfaces coated with or composed of neutron reactive material increases the neutron detection efficiency of the gas-filled detectors over conventional coated designs. These surfaces or surface portions increase the amount of neutron reactive material present in the detector over conventional coated designs and, as a result, increase the neutron detection efficiency. The surfaces can be made of conductive, semiconductive or insulative materials. The surfaces are arranged such that they do not detrimentally detract from the main function of a gas-filled detector with particular attention to gas-filled proportional detectors.

    Abstract: A wheel restraint (10) for restraining a vehicle (14) at a loading dock (16) includes a wheel chock (20) suspended from a tether (32). The tether hangs from an overhead beam (34) such that the wheel chock can be swung down and underneath the vehicle (14) and placed directly in front of a wheel (12) of the vehicle. A pin (24) can be used to help hold the chock (20) to an anchor (26) that is fastened to a driveway of the loading dock (16). The orientation of the pin (24) and the anchor holes (28) in which the pin can be selectively inserted prevents the chock from tipping back and makes the restraint (10) more tolerant of dirt, ice and other contaminants. In some examples, an offset between the beam (34) and the wheel (12) results in the tether (32) urging the chock toward the anchor.

    Abstract: An illuminated loading dock system includes a series of light fixtures (42) having sufficient power to illuminate the interior of a series of trailers (14) from a distance that spans a dock leveler pit (26). The light fixtures are mounted to stanchions (40) (or a railing thereof) that extend upward from an elevated floor (22) that is higher than the pit's floor (24). In some cases the light fixtures are coupled to control panels (38) that control the operation of the dock levelers (30a-30d). In this arrangement, the pit floor is kept clear of clutter, and dockworkers can control the lights and the dock leveler from one safe location, as opposed to having to step down into the pit, underneath a raised dock leveler deck (32).

    Abstract: A dock leveler (12,66) for a truck loading dock includes a lighting system (16,62) mounted to the deck (18,64) of the leveler. The lighting system can be used for illuminating the interior of a trailer (10), illuminating the deck of the dock leveler, and/or providing a warning signal that alerts nearby pedestrians and others in the area that work is being done at the loading dock, hi some cases, the light is protected by a raised curb (48) of the dock leveler' s deck (18). In other cases, the lighting system (62) is pivotally coupled to the deck (64) so that the light can continue pointing toward the trailer regardless of whether the deck is in a horizontal operative position or a vertical stored position.
