In one embodiment, the system carries out a method of loading a tray in a container where the method includes creating a cell with a plurality of bays; assigning each bay a location; moving trays through the cell along a path; grasping a tray off the path with a robot positioned above the path; moving the robot, with the grasped tray, to the location of one bay; and instructing the robot to release the tray at the location of the one bay.

An exercise machine has a main frame for placement on a support surface and a seat supported on the main frame. The seat is movable between a horizontal position and a vertical position. A post having an integrated resilient member is supported by the main frame, the integrated resilient member is disposed at least one foot above the seat. A handle bar is attached to and extends from the post. A downward movement of the handle bar is resisted by the integrated resilient member.

To be able to transmit higher forces when retaining movable components on board an aircraft, a retaining system includes a support structure with a first retaining area and a second retaining area having a movable locking element, and a movable component with a locking receptacle forming a locking device with the locking element, and a retaining device. The movable component is movably attached to the first retaining area with the retaining device, and the movable component can be locked on the second retaining area with the locking device. The at least one movable locking element can be moved between an open setting (SOFF) and a locked setting (SVER), wherein the at least one movable locking element engages with the locking receptacle in the locked setting, so that the movable component is temporarily immovably retained, and allows the movable component to move in the open setting.

A heat retaining sleeve for raising the cold spot temperature of a fluorescent lamp is comprised of a base end, a distal end, and a sleeve body sized and shaped to fit over the end of a fluorescent lamp or lamps where the lamp's cold spot exists. The sleeve creates a heat retaining air gap between the inner surface of the sleeve body and the lamp end or ends with the cold spot, and has sufficient length to so that, when fitted over the lamp end or ends, the cold spot temperature is elevated to a temperature that increase the lumen output of the fitted fluorescent lamp or lamps.

A cutting machine comprises a workpiece changer possessing a receiving element for the workpieces and / or workpiece palettes, said receiving element being able to be pivoted about a vertical axis and to be linearly shifted in a plane normal to such axis. At least one slide arrangement is able to be power driven in the two horizontal directions for a tool spindle and is adapted to run on two parallel side walls of the cutting machine designed in the form of a gantry machine. The intermediate space between the side walls is divided by a transverse wall or by door, which during workpiece machining is closed and during the workpiece changing operation is at least partly open, into a front machining area and a rear supply area, the radius of pivoting of the receiving element, engaging a workpiece or a workpiece palette, extending at least partly into a supply area. Accordingly a person minding or controlling the functioning cutting machine is not hampered by workpiece changing.

A washing machine having a simple, leak-tight drain line that can be easily assembled on the wash tub of the washing machine is disclosed.
