A mulching unit for a mulching apparatus includes at least one cutting assembly or hammer having a rotatable support element and two cutting elements spaced apart from one another by a predetermined gap that allows debris to pass between the cutting elements, thereby increasing efficiency and enabling higher rotating speeds for sustained amounts of time. The cutting elements include tips that may be formed in one piece with the support element, e. g. , a collar, and the tips may be covered with a protective layer of tungsten and/or carbide. Alternatively, the tips themselves can be made from tungsten and/or carbide and physically attached, e. g. , by welding, to the collar to form an integral unit. The cutting elements may be mounted on support element halves that can independently rotate on a support rod of the mulching unit.

Disclosed are a method and apparatus with several embodiments that use low output UV energy to create hydroxyl radicals on photocatalytic semiconductor coated surfaces in order to produce hydroxyl radicals to structurally eradicate contaminants impacting those surfaces. Low wattage UVA black-light white and black-light blue plasma lamps are used to activate photocatalytic semiconductor coatings on solid and mesh surfaces constructed of fluropolymers (Teflon®), of aluminum, of stainless steel, and coatings on the outer lamp wall of the UVA lamp itself. The embodiments show that sufficient UVA energy is being transmitted through solid lamp wall, through the photocatalytic semiconductor coating on the outer lamp wall (from beneath), and through multiple layers of coated fluropolymer, aluminum, and stainless steel mesh to create hydroxyl radicals on the surfaces of downstream layers. The current carrying foundation materials, to include electro-conductive polymer, can be voltage charged to attract pathogens with natural cell surface charges to the coated eradication surfaces. The method and apparatus may be used to create radicals on eradication surfaces to structurally dismantle and destroy contaminant particles, including lethal virus, bacteria, mycotoxin, spores, odor molecules, allergens, smoke particles, and industrial pollutants.

An endless drive track system for use with a tracked vehicle. The endless drive track system includes a planetary drive system having drive rollers, a plurality of roller wheels, and an endless track with a reinforcing brace embedded within the endless track for at least one of a plurality of drive beads extending from an interior surface of the endless track. The reinforcement brace is made of wear-resistant material. Each drive bead has at least one drive face that is engaged by the drive rollers of the planetary drive system. The roller wheels frictionally engage at least one, if not both, friction faces of each drive bead. Each reinforcing brace includes a horizontal section having first and second ends. A first flange extends from the horizontal section near a first friction face of each drive bead while a second flange extends from the horizontal section near a second drive friction face of each drive bead. The first and second flanges extend from a horizontal section of the reinforcing brace.

An industrial vehicle includes a frame, a motive device mounted on the frame, a platform mounted on the frame adjacent to the motive device, a main boom member associated with an industrial implement, the main boom member being coupled to the platform, and at least one secondary boom member attached to the main boom member. The industrial vehicle may comprise in one embodiment tilting structure that tilts the platform about an axis substantially perpendicular to a driving direction of the vehicle, or at least one pivot defining at least one axis about which the main boom member and/or the secondary boom member pivot, the at least one axis being substantially perpendicular to a driving direction of the vehicle. A linkage may be provided that pivots at least one of the main boom member and the at least one secondary boom member about an axis substantially perpendicular to a driving direction of the vehicle. The pivot and/or linkage may be provided to individual ones of the main boom member and the secondary boom member.

Disclosed is an air purification filter with novel active media that attracts, migrates, binds, and destroys pathogens, including sub-micron pathogens, that are suspended in the air passing through the filter. These properties are incorporated in the micro-fibers comprising the active filter media by several novel methods. One embodiment uses polymers or solgel bound monomers of quaternary ammonium compounds as a biocide with both chemotactic and pathogen membrane lysing properties. Another embodiment uses biocide chemicals blended into the melt before filter fibers are extruded and electret dipole charged. The attracting-binding properties of the embodiments may be enhanced by including electropositive Boehmite nano-fiber strands in the active media, by coating a reversible voltage charged electro-conductive polymer, by the use of supplemental fusing and lysing chemicals, and by optional ion field charging of incoming pathogens.

Disinfecting compositions comprising the synergistic combinations of polymerized quaternary ammonium compounds and super spreading agents, integrated with substrates that need protection from pathogens. The aqueous based polymers require minimal use of organic solvents in their preparation, contain no volatile organic compounds, and are mild to the user. The composition may be integrated, by coating or by pre-form blending, with either a hydrophilic or lipophilic substrate needing microbial protection properties. Once integrated, the composition properties of electrostatic attraction and microbial destruction are non-consuming and non-leaching, giving the substrate sustained efficacy against viruses, fungi, bacteria, and spores that contact it.

Real time purification of contaminated common air is an unsolved public health problem inside residences and the workplace, and outside from air pollution by industry and transportation. Currently popular consumer grade electrostatic air filters accumulate suspended contaminants onto accumulation plates which require subsequent disposal or cleaning of the highly concentrated contaminates, a maintenance requirement that presents a new consumer health risk. Disclosed is a technology with several embodiments that structurally sequester and eradicate suspended particulates by electrostatically migrating them to an internal photocatalytic dismantling grid. The grid is a multicellular foundation of tetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) or Teflon-coated metal, with an outer layer of photocatalytic nanocrystals embedded in a durable, porous coating that is energized by ultraviolet radiation to create powerful surface dismantling agents thereon, including hydroxyl radicals, from natural elements in ambient air. Pathogens, mycotoxins, spores, odor molecules, allergens, smoke particles, and industrial pollutants are structurally dissociated into harmless protein fragments and natural molecules when they encounter the dismantling grid. The decontamination phenomenon is amplified by using the natural or enhanced positive or negative electrostatic surface charge on the suspended particles to migrate them to the dismantling grid for photocatalytic destruction. Contaminants, suspended water molecules, and trace ozone ions are drawn to the dismantling grid in this manner, also enhancing the supply of raw material from which the dismantling agents are created. The dismantling grid is self-cleaning and maintenance free, and is designed to use UV energy in a bandwidth that can physically inactivate pathogen replication defenses until photocatalytic destruction. Depending on the UV energy used, none of the powerful dismantling agents escape the apparatus because of their short half-lives. Once their job is done all return to the natural elements from which they were made, creating no environmental harm.
