SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OBJECT SCREENING AND HANDLING
Systems and methods for automated security inspection and routing of in-transit objects are described. In one embodiment, a plurality of security screening devices are provided, each operable to output screening data of an in-transit object, including a first screening device located in a sealed environment of a vehicle for transporting the object towards a conveying system, including one or more measuring devices operable to measure screening parameters of the object when located in the sealed environment, and a second screening device in combination with conveying and routing components of the conveying system used to transport said objects from an ingress point through a conveyor junction to reach the second screening device. A control unit is assigned to the conveyor junction, wherein the control unit is configured to receive security data assigned on the basis of the screening data from the first screening device to the object upstream of the conveyor junction, and in response, to determine and set a routing direction on the basis of the assigned security data, whereby the object is directed downstream to a screening route for further screening by the second screening device, or to a loading route for objects cleared for loading. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Motorhome layout
A Class B motorhome has an interior layout which includes a bathroom at the rear of the motorhome with a toilet and a shower with the toilet on one side of the bathroom and the shower on the opposite side of the bathroom.
Modular cargo storage apparatus for use on a base platform of a modular autonomous bot apparatus that transports an item being shipped
A modular cargo storage system (CSS) is described for use on a base platform of a modular autonomous bot apparatus that transports an item being shipped. The modular CSS includes a set of folding structural walls, an interlocking alignment interface on at least one of the walls, and a modular component power and data transport bus. The walls at least partially enclose a payload area above the base platform. The interlocking alignment interface has a set of latches and a locking handle coupled to the set of latches that actuates the latches to interlock with the base platform. The power and data transport bus have top and bottom side modular component electronics interfaces where each interface has a power conduit outlet and a command and data communication interface.
Ladder transport systems
A ladder is safely and securely transported on a work vehicle using a pair of stanchions spaced along one side of the work vehicle. Each stanchion has a lower base portion carried on one side of the work vehicle, and an upper pole portion insertable into a hollow rung of a ladder. In this fashion, a ladder, such as an extension ladder, is supported on only one of its side rails without the need for engagement with tensioned load straps. Because the stanchions and ladder are located on the side of a work vehicle, the ladder takes up no cargo space on the cargo area of the work vehicle.
HYBRID NETWORK END SYSTEM DEVICE
Provided is a hybrid network end system device for a network system with an end system unit and a switch. The switch here exhibits at least one first port of the switch and a second port of the switch for connection with the network system.
LAND VEHICLES ADAPTED FOR USE AS ELECTRIC DELIVERY VEHICLES
A land vehicle includes a frame structure, a plurality of wheels supported by the frame structure, and a body supported by the frame structure. The frame structure includes an operator cage that at least partially defines an operator cabin and a rear compartment positioned rearward of the operator cage in a longitudinal direction. The body includes a first sidewall arranged on one side of the vehicle and a second sidewall arranged on another side of the vehicle opposite the first sidewall.
Shelving systems
A shelving system includes side members that each define a first channel having a slide disposed therein. A cross member extends between and connects the slides. The cross member defines a second channel having a guide member disposed therein. The guide member defines a third channel and a flange. A container includes side walls having a rail. One of the rails is movably disposed in the third channel. The rails include a first locking element and a second locking element. The handle includes a third locking element that engages the first locking element. The handle is movable between a first position in which the second locking element engages the flange and the container is fixed relative to the guide member and a second position in which the second locking element is spaced apart from the flange and the container can translate relative to the guide member.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DELIVERY BY AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES
Particular embodiments described herein provide for a system and method for facilitating autonomous delivery using a delivery assembly transported by an autonomous vehicle, the system and method can include determining a location of the delivery assembly and in response to determining the location of the delivery assembly, configuring a user interface to facilitate the autonomous delivery. The user interface has at least a point of origination configuration and a user configuration. In addition, the user interface can authenticate a user, allow the user to access one or more cubbies of the delivery assembly, and inform the user through one or more indicators on the user interface that the user can access a specific cubby.
Slide out pump stand for hydraulic fracturing equipment
A hydraulic fracturing system has a pump driven by an electrically powered motor. The pump pressurizes fluid which is piped into a wellbore to fracture a subterranean formation. The pump and motor are mounted on a trailer that is hitched to a tractor. A platform assembly is mounted onto the trailer, and which is selectively moveable between deployed and stowed configurations. The platform assembly includes a platform, a lateral rail assembly mounted to the platform, and gates on the forward and aft ends of the platform. The rail assembly and gates define a safety barrier to prevent operations personnel from falling off the platform. In the stowed configuration the platform assembly is anchored in place over wheels on the trailer. In the deployed configuration, the platform assembly provides work surface so that operations personnel can readily access the pump on the trailer.
