Rail transport system
A rail transport system 10 has at least two load carrying bodies 12 which are arranged end to end. Mutually adjacent bodies 12 are coupled together by respective coupling systems 14. The rail transport system 10 further includes a plurality of axles 16 each provided at opposite ends with respective rail wheels 18 which support the bodies 12. A flexible liner 20 is supported by the bodies 12. The liner 20 is configured to span respective coupling systems 14. In this way the bodies 12 and the flexible liner 20 form a continuous load carrying structure 22. The continuous load carrying structure 22 is arranged so as to be able to pivot about an axis perpendicular to the axles 16 to facilitate unloading of cargo from the bodies 12.
Overhead type transport apparatus
An overhead type transport apparatus includes: a guide rail that includes a main rail and one or more sub rails crossing the main rail and is fixed to a ceiling side; two or more transport units that travel along the guide rail; a carrier unit that is coupled to the bottom of each transport unit and rotates about a carrier rotating unit, one end being inclined upward or downward with respect to the other end; and a basket unit that is attached to and detached from the bottom of each carrier unit.
MOVABLE BODY
A movable body includes an imaging system which acquires an image formed by a terahertz wave, wherein the image is an image obtained by capturing an inspection object inside the movable body.

FASTENER SYSTEM AND METHOD
A fastener system and method includes a controller having one or more processors that obtain image information associated with a tie plate. The tie plate includes one or more holes, and each hole is configured to receive a fastener. A fastener driving unit drives the fastener into at least one of the one or more holes. The controller controls movement of the fastener driving unit to move the fastener driving unit to a location corresponding to the at least one hole, and the controller controls movement of the fastener driving unit to drive the fastener into the at least one hole.
PORTABLE HANDLE APPARATUS AND METHOD
An apparatus including a first strap configured to be placed in a straight or a curled state; and a handle attached to the first strap; and wherein the first strap in the curled state is configured attached to a subway ceiling rail. The first strap may be attached to the handle through a carabiner, a ring, and a second strap. The second strap may have a triangular section and a base of the triangular section may be attached to the handle by passing through an opening of a hollow cylindrical tube of the handle. The first strap may have first and second layers of material and a first attachment device between the layers, and a second attachment device attached to the outside of the first strap; wherein in the curled state, the first attachment device is attached to the second attachment device to hold the apparatus onto the rail.
