A tilting canopy has a canopy frame, at least one actuator, a plurality of canopy supports, and a support frame. The canopy frame is hingedly connected to the support frame through two medial supports, such that the medial supports act as pivot points for the canopy frame. The at least one actuator is engaged between the canopy frame and the support frame such that the at least one actuator is configured to rotate the canopy frame about the pivot point between a lowered position and a raised position. In the raised position, a user may store a boat or other vehicle or item with towers, Bimini tops, or other features which would normally be prohibitive of moving the boat or other vehicle beneath the canopy.

A modular cycle storage apparatus including at least one at least partially arcuate fixed trunk assembly extending upwardly from the mounting surface, at least one arcuate movable arm assembly mounted relative to the at least one fixed trunk assembly and movable relative thereto between an extended, lower position and a retracted, elevated position, and at least one lower arm assembly mounted relative to a lower portion of the at least one fixed trunk assembly and beneath the at least one arcuate movable arm assembly, each of the at least one arcuate movable arm assembly and the at least one lower arm assembly adapted to mount a cycle for at least temporary storage.

A wall cladding system includes a vertical support, a horizontal support, and a panel. The panel has a peripheral edge that abuts a first side surface of the vertical support and a top surface of the horizontal support. In various examples, a portion of the vertical support overlaps a portion of the horizontal support.

A collection of rentable units and associated structures in accordance with a particular embodiment of the present technology includes a first rentable unit encompassing at least a portion of a first retrofitted classroom within a retrofitted school building and a second rentable unit encompassing at least a portion of a second retrofitted classroom within the retrofitted school building. The first rentable unit includes a first reusable bathroom removably disposed in operable association with the first retrofitted classroom. Similarly, the second rentable unit includes a second reusable bathroom removably disposed in operable association with the second retrofitted classroom. The collection further comprises above-floor plumbing drain lines through which the reusable bathrooms are operably connected to a below-floor plumbing drain trunk line of the retrofitted school building.

A parking lot management system according to the present disclosure includes a management apparatus, an image capturing apparatus, a cart, and a display apparatus. The management apparatus acquires, and stores as parking information, a license plate number and a spot number of a parking spot from the image capturing apparatus. Then, the management apparatus acquires, from a cart terminal of the cart, information that enables specification of the parking information of a vehicle of a customer using the cart and an identification number of the cart terminal, and stores the identification number of the cart terminal in association with the parking information. Then, the management apparatus detects return of the cart to a predetermined location, calculates a predicted time until the parking spot is freed up, and updates display on the display apparatus based on the predicted time.

A system for the distribution of resources. The system includes a housing including at least one water vapor distillation device, at least one power generating device, at least one source water reservoir, at least one product water reservoir, and at least one energy storage device.

The present invention relates to a movable and height-extensible automated bicycle storage facility of which the height is simply increased by separately manufacturing a section exceeding a height limit under the Road Traffic Act, transporting and assembling the section at a desired place to use the automated bicycle storage facility manufactured in a container shape at the place. The present invention is characterized by ensuring a sufficient height by coupling a height extension cover to the top of the bicycle deck to prevent a bicycle from hitting against the top of the bicycle deck when the bicycle is loaded at an angle in the bicycle deck in the front-rear direction and then lifted and loaded onto the second floor, and by temporarily reducing the height by separating the height extension cover in order not to violate the Road Traffic Act when moving the bicycle deck to another place.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a bicycle storage unit that comprises an enclosure defining an interior compartment that is sized to hold a bicycle. The enclosure has first and second sidewalls, each of the first and second sidewalls having a frame with a curved upper element and one or more side panels. The enclosure also comprises a curved rear panel and a curved door panel, the curved door panel being movable between a closed position and an open position. Embodiments of the bicycle storage unit are configured so that when the door is in the open position, the bicycle storage unit does not take up any more public space than when the door is in the closed position. Moreover, embodiments of the bicycle storage unit include a locking mechanism that allows a user to utilize a conventional bicycle U-lock to secure the door in a closed position.

Disclosed herein is a modular bicycle storage structure designed to maximize the number of bicycles that can fit into it. The structure is designed to provide a private locker to each bicycle, which is accessible by a locker door, and secured using a standard bicycle U-Lock. The structure may use bicycles that have foldable, twistable or removable handlebars in order to reduce their overall width. The user generally aligns the pedals in a specific way before inserting the bicycle into the structure. The pedals slide into a groove formed in the side wall. This allows for overlapping of pedals for adjacent bicycles providing a compact storage configuration.
