The capacity of a container is considered as the total capacity of the gas cylinders contained therein.

An expandable and configurable enclosure that is configured to be envelop at least one object to provide protection thereof wherein said portable enclosure is configured to be assembled into a plurality of alternate shapes and sizes. The portable enclosure of the present invention includes a body wherein the body includes a plurality of panels. The panels of the body are manufactured from a durable flexible material such as but not limited to nylon. The panels include perimeter seams wherein each of the perimeter seams is configured with a fastener. The fasteners are configured to facilitate the operable coupling of a plurality of panels to form a body having an interior volume suitable to accommodate therein a desired object or plurality of objects. The assembled body of the present invention includes at least one end cap member operable to provide access to the interior volume of the body.

Specially designed to carry out unlocking shipping containers, eliminating the physical risks for port personnel, includes a telescopic load-bearing structure (1) that can be moved up with a port crane (3), and at its ends, pairs of lateral frames emerge (5-5) that have a robotic mechanism (6) on their inner faces, with at least three degrees of movement for a claw for catch onto the handles (11) for opening different types of securing mechanisms (12) of the container (13). The claw has at least one degree of freedom of movement, while the robotic mechanism (6) is assisted by artificial vision (14) and motion systems (16) that are remotely operated, assisted, or fully automatic.

A discharge assembly for use with a flexible bag, e.g., a bulk bag, comprises a discharge spout coupled to a bottom panel of the bag, wherein the discharge spout is configured to be rolled. A releasable flexible fabric tape or tie secures the discharge spout in rolled configuration to the bottom panel to define a closed configuration for the discharge spout. In the closed configuration, material contents of the bag are contained within the bag. When contents of the bag are ready to be discharged, releasing the tape or tie causes the discharge spout to unroll and materials contained in the bag will flow therethrough. A discharge tube cover can also be provided that extends across the bottom panel and discharge tube. The discharge tube cover helps provide a flatter surface for the bag to rest upon, provides another level of closure to help prevent material contents of the bag from leaking, and can provide additional support and strength to the bag.

A latch for securing a component to a track in a base of air cargo equipment, such as a pallet or the floor of a unit load device. The latch includes a rigid support configured to be attached at the bottom edge of the component. The latch also includes a handle. The handle rotates relative to the support between an open position and a closed position. The handle uses a rotationally tapered locking cam to secure the component to the track. In one embodiment, the component is a door, such as a fabric curtain.

A remote debris tank includes a housing having a top and a bottom discharge opening, a pair of discharge doors mounted to opposing lateral sides of the bottom discharge opening and configured for pivotal movement between an open position and a closed position, and an actuating shaft operably coupled to the first and second discharge doors.
