Abstract:
In one form there is provided a control system for pickup and drop-off of at least one recyclable item; the control system identifying a relocatable receivable depot from a plurality of geographically dispersed depots; said control system comprises: a roving pickup control apparatus; relocatable receival depot control apparatus; the vehicle effecting transport of at least one recyclable item from a user location at the direction of the control system; whereby said vehicle travels to the recyclable item; said roving pickup control apparatus then reads the identity of said recyclable item; and said recyclable item is picked up by said vehicle and transported to said relocatable receival depot by said roving pickup control apparatus; using route and location information of said recyclable item and said relocatable receival depot thereby for said roving pickup control apparatus to guide said vehicle to the recyclable item and the relocatable receival depot.
Abstract:
A system and method for verifying waste fulfillment events in the absence of human intervention using the input of one or more vehicle sensor inputs, one or more waste disposal cycle inputs, and GPS information to augment or supplement optical scanning technology such as RFID tags is disclosed.
Abstract:
A base module may be used to receive and house one or more unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) via one or more cavities. The base module receives commands from a manager device and identifies a flight plan that allows a UAV to execute the received commands. The base module transfers the flight plan to the UAV and frees the UAV. Once the UAV returns, the base module once again receives it. The base module then receives sensor data from the UAV from one or more sensors onboard the UAV, and optionally receives additional information describing its flight and identifying success or failure of the flight plan. The base module transmits the sensor data and optionally the additional information to a storage medium locally or remotely accessible by the manager device.
Abstract:
A waste discharge extruder 100 is disclosed herein. In a described embodiment, the waste discharge extruder 100 comprises a housing 102 having a waste inlet 110 for receiving waste to be moulded, and a waste discharge outlet 118 for discharging the moulded waste. The waste discharge extruder 100 also comprises an axially rotatable first spiral screw 210 having a first spiral screw breaking section 214 and a first spiral screw extruder section 216, and an axially rotatable second spiral screw 250 arranged adjacent to the first spiral screw 210. The second spiral screw 250 is arranged to rotate in a synchronized manner to the first spiral screw 210, and the second spiral screw 150 includes a second spiral screw breaking section 254 and a second spiral screw extruder section 256. The first spiral screw breaking section's spiral 218 is arranged to cooperate with the second spiral screw breaking section's spiral 258 for fragmenting the received waste, and the first spiral screw extruder section's spiral 218 is arranged to cooperate with the second spiral screw extruder section's spiral 258 to mould the fragmented waste to form discrete volumes of the moulded waste.
Abstract:
A trash compactor and a method of collecting material for a trash compactor are provided. The trash compactor comprises a material receiving surface coupled to a compaction chamber, the material receiving surface being inclined at an angle to the horizontal such that material collected on said surface is deposited into an entrance of the compaction chamber under gravitational force.
Abstract:
A method and system for automatically loading and unloading a transport is disclosed. A first guidance system is used to travel near the transport and a second guidance system is used to travel on the transport.
Abstract:
Изобретение относится к области коммунального хозяйства, обеспечивает автоматизированный контроль состояния заполненности бункера мусоровоза при транспортировке отходов, контроль движения и определение местоположения мусоровоза. При эксплуатации устройства фиксируется положение выталкивающей плиты бункера мусоровоза. При движении плиты, на сервер с помощью GPRS модуля отправляются следующие данные: начальное положение плиты, конечное положение плиты, время начала перемещения, время окончания перемещения, геокоординаты. Дальнейшая обработка информации, поступающей от устройства, производится на сервере с помощью математических алгоритмов. Техническим результатом является повышение эффективности использования мусоровозов, возможность корректировки задания на вывоз мусора в реальном времени с учетом заполненности мусоровоза, исключение лишних пробегов недостаточно заполненных мусоровозов.
