An omni direction vehicle with a frame having a round surface about its perimeter with no apparatus mounted on the frame extending beyond the perimeter. Two independent drive wheels located on an axis through the center of the frame are mounted at the same distance from a central vertical axis through the frame. Each wheel is powered independently of the other and can rotate at variable speeds in either direction. The vehicle is capable of movement in any direction by rotating the axis of the drive wheels to a position which is perpendicular to the desired direction of travel. The vehicle can spin about its vertical axis such that the axis of the drive wheels can be oriented at any direction without changing the original footprint of the space that the frame occupies over the ground. Thus, the vehicle requires a zero turning radius and requires only the space it occupies to change its forward orientation.

A powered omni-directional security, patrol and surveillance vehicle that includes a circular frame and two drive wheels capable of independent powered forward and rearward rotation about a horizontal axis. The drive wheels are adapted to allow the vehicle to spin in place about a vertical axis which intersects the horizontal axis midway between the drive wheels and which is generally centered in the circular frame. An observation platform including an operators control station is mounted to the frame on a lift such that it is capable of selective elevation for superior vantage points. A cab preferably encloses the operator's station. A plurality of swivel casters disposed on distal ends of telescopic outrigger arms are circumpositioned about the circular frame.

A maintenance and hygiene method and apparatus (50) for a motor vehicle air conditioning system (30) with a cooling circuit (20′). The apparatus comprises a regeneration device (56) and a hygiene device (57) that are integrated in a single body (51) which includes, furthermore, a program means (55) that contemporaneously actuates and controls the regeneration device (56) and the hygiene device (57). The maintenance and hygiene program that is resident in the memory of the microprocessor (55) is then started by an operator. In particular, the hygiene step is carried out contemporaneously with the step of recovering the cooling fluid and with the engine on, and is prolonged up to a lubricating fluid discharging step/establishing vacuum condition step. This way, an important advantage is achieved in terms of operating time and cost reduction, since the operations of regeneration and of hygiene are simultaneously carried out; more-over, the operating space is reduced in comparison with the space needed for the two prior art distinct devices.
