Appl. No.:

11/734853

Inventors:

Patrick Thomas - San Diego CA, US
John Charles Alvarez - Rancho Palos Verdes CA, US

Assignee:

APS Technology Group, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

G07B 15/02
G06K 19/06

US Classification:

235384, 235492

Abstract:

Systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products are provided for monitoring the transfer of cargo, such as a shipping container, to and from a transporter, such as a truck. Identification codes are provided on the cargo and the transporter to aid in the identification of the cargo and the transporter. One or more identification code receiving devices, such as a camera, may be associated with a cargo moving apparatus, such as a crane, and configured to automatically capture the transporter identification code and the cargo identification code as the cargo is being transferred to or from the transporter. The transporter identification code and the cargo identification code can be associated with each other along with other information about the transfer in order to monitor the transfer. In this regard, identification information may be communicated to a shipping terminal's operating system to provide real-time information about one or more transfers occurring within a shipping terminal.

Appl. No.:

11/360360

Inventors:

John Alvarez - Oceanside CA, US

International Classification:

A01K 97/00
A01K 97/06

US Classification:

043054100, 043004000

Abstract:

A fish line guide device formed by a plurality of removably engageable guide members forming a serpentine fish line path. The guide members can be engaged to a surface of a basket worn by an angler or to the surface on which the angler is standing such as a boat deck. Engagement is accomplished by base mounts which engage with the base end of the guide members and hold the guide member substantially perpendicular from the surface. A sandwiched engagement of the guide member and base mount or a suctional engagement of the base mount to a surface, or a tongue and groove style engagement provides the projecting mount of the guide members to the surface. The guide members may also be engaged to a flexible surface layer which is then supported upon a support surface adjacent to an angler.
