An interactive laboratory robotic system is described that includes devices for use in a laboratory including a robotic assistant that can perform tasks and that can be controlled and configured by humans. The robot may assist personnel in performing repetitive tasks within a laboratory, and capture and store transactional and analytical data, such as during a DNA sequencing process. The robot may include sensors and/or cameras to detect, recognize, and track objects in an environment, and a manipulable arm having a hand for grasping objects. Other components of the system may include a sample tray graspable by the robot; a tray carriage for holding sample trays within equipment; an interactive shelf for holding sample trays; a mobile cart for mating with and charging the robot; and an accessory unit to enable the robot to open doors of equipment. The system may help to reduce or eliminate mistakes by personnel.

A dolly assembly for transporting a grain aeration fan includes a frame, which is shaped and sized so that the frame is complementary to a base of load. Each of a pair of wheels is engaged to a respective opposed end of an axle. The axle is engaged to a back of the frame and extends from a first side of the frame past a second side thereof. A handle is engaged to the back of the frame proximate to the second side. A user can grasp the handle and tilt the frame so that a center of mass of the load is positioned above the axle. A forward view of the user is not blocked by the load. A leveling unit is engaged to and extends perpendicularly from the frame proximate to a front thereof. The leveling unit and the wheels support the frame in a substantially horizontal configuration.

An improved dustbin moving vehicle includes a rod body. A first positioning member is arranged on the rod body; the rod body is movably connected with a positioning rod; a second positioning member is arranged on the positioning rod; the rod body is movably connected with a pull rod; a supporting rod is arranged on the rod body; and a bottom of the supporting rod is provided with a wheel. The improved dustbin moving vehicle is simple in structure and convenient to use. During use, the pull rod and the positioning rod are unfolded; the first positioning member and the second positioning member on the positioning rod are hooked or clamped on a dustbin to fix the dustbin; and the pull rod is then pushed and pulled, so that the dustbin is convenient to move.

Herein is disclosed a dolly for carrying a heavy object by means of a car with a trailer hitch. The dolly includes a rigid frame adapted to securely hold an object on a front face of the rigid frame. Left and right parallel pneumatic wheels are positioned on a left and right sides the rigid frame, respectively and extending perpendicularly away from the rigid frame opposite a platform. Each of the pneumatic wheels is highway rated. Each of the pneumatic wheels has a hub rotatably mounted to the rigid frame by a flange member projecting perpendicularly from the rigid frame, the flange members positioning the hubs away from the rigid frame such that the hubs are at least several inches from a back face of the rigid frame. The dolly also includes a retractable boom having a trailer hitch coupling on a distal end. The retractable boom is selectively movable between a retracted and extended position. Finally, the dolly includes a lock for releasably locking the retractable boom in its extended position.

A lawn mower deck cart, including a plurality of rear rods to receive a lawn mower deck thereon, a plurality of front rods disposed a first distance away from the plurality of rear rods to receive the lawn mower deck thereon, such that the lawn mower deck is disposed between the plurality of rear rods and the plurality of front rods, and a plurality of wheels disposed on at least a portion of the rear rods to facilitate movement of the plurality of rear rods and the plurality of front rods while the plurality of wheels are disposed on a planar surface.

The present invention relates to a manually operable carriage and working attachments that may be employed with the carriage. The attachments may include a plow, a logging clamp, or other implements.

A landscaping blower mounting accessory for use with a utility vehicle includes a blade connecter mounted to the utility vehicle. A receiving coupler is attached to the landscaping blower and shaped to receive the blade. A landscaping blower is oriented so that a housing covering a blower impeller is positioned between the utility vehicle and the blower motor. The mounting assembly allows the blade to frictionally engage within the coupler for holding the landscaping blower in a fixed position above the ground on the front of the utility vehicle.
