A rotating, self-aligning device (“D-ring assembly”) mounted on or associated with a recovery vehicle for supporting and pulling a load, and a method of using this device, which includes an outer housing rigidly attached to the recovery vehicle; and a rotating base plate, with a bearing for supporting a shackle. The device automatically self-aligns along a centerline of the shackle relative to the direction of the load.

Described and presented is a delivery vehicle having a consignment store for receiving, storing and reissuing consignments, having a handover device for handing over consignments from the consignment store to a displacing device, and having a control device for controlling at least the displacing device. The displacing device is designed for delivering consignments to a location outside the delivery vehicle by displacing the consignments and so as to be adjustable from a retracted position into a deployed position and back, and the displacing device is designed to be height-adjustable for delivering consignments at different height levels outside the delivery vehicle.

A service providing mobile unit 1 comprised of a frame 2 forming a ring shape about a horizontal axis, movement-use wheels 4, 5 attached to the bottom part of the frame 2, a hydrogen storage tank insert pan 10 formed inside the frame 2, and a fuel cell 40 arranged inside the frame 2. Hydrogen is supplied to the fuel cell 40 from a replaceable hydrogen storage tank 20 inserted into the hydrogen storage tank insert part 10. A service providing space 3 having a ring-shaped inner circumference surface of the frame 2 as its outer edges is formed by the frame 2, and power can be supplied from the fuel cell 40 to a service providing unit installed inside the service providing space 3.

A service providing mobile unit comprising the frame 2, movement-use wheels 4, 5 provided at the bottom part of the frame 2, hydrogen storage tank insert parts 10 formed inside the frame 2, and the fuel cell 40 arranged in the frame 2. A service for supplying hydrogen to the fuel cell 40 from the hydrogen storage tank 20 inserted in the hydrogen storage tank insert part 10, a service for lending out the hydrogen storage tank 20 inserted in the hydrogen storage tank insert part 10, a service for returning a used hydrogen storage tank 20 to the hydrogen storage tank insert part 10, and a service for storing the hydrogen storage tank 20 inserted into the hydrogen storage tank insert part 10 are provided.

A modular transportation system to transport one or more persons and/or objects. The system may include a pod with wall segments that mount together to form an interior space to house the one or more persons and/or objects. The wall segments are modular and configured to connect together in a variety of different configurations to selectively configure the interior space. Vehicles are each configured to individually connect to the pod and to transport the pod from a first location to a second location. At least one of the vehicles is configured to transport the pod by land and at least one of the vehicles is configured to transport the pod by air.

The present invention relates to a device for decontaminating persons, having a container having at least one decontamination shower, the container having at least one panel defined in an opening in one of the vertical walls of the container, the panel being mounted to pivot around a horizontal hinge which joins an upper edge of the panel to the container so as to be movable between a first position in which the panel extends substantially vertically and closes off the opening, and a second position in which the panel extends substantially horizontally and forms a ceiling covering a sheltered surface. The decontamination device also includes walls capable of closing off the sheltered surface to form at least one portion of the decontamination device.

The invention relates to a mobile decontamination unit for thorough wet decontamination of persons, having a generally rectangular parallelepiped shape with a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis. The unit comprises a technical module and at least one shower module, which are adjacent to one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The unit also comprises a first retractable extension of the shower module in the direction of the transverse axis, on one side of said shower module, and/or a second retractable extension of the shower module in said direction of the transverse axis, on the other side of said shower module. The shower module and the one or more extensions comprise a decontamination line for persons for the circulation, in the direction of the transverse axis, of persons to be decontaminated by showering in the shower module.
