The latest in terminal handling equipment are the so-called automated guided vehicles(AGVs). These may be driverless container handlers, unmanned stacking cranes and new process control systems that allow all commands to be issued from a central computerized location. Unmanned dockside container cranes are also under consideration. AGVs will monitor their own oil, fuel and mechanical functions and use sensors to prevent collisions. 5, record 1, English, - automated%20guided%20vehicle

The concentrates utilized for generating fluoroprotein foams are similar in composition to protein foam concentrates, but in addition to protein polymers they contain fluorinated surface-active agents that confer a "fuel shedding" property to the foam generated. This makes them particularly effective for fire fighting conditions where the foam becomes coated with fuel, such as in the method of sub-surface injection of foam for tank fire fighting, and nozzle or monitor foam applications where the foam may often be plunged into the fuel. 2, record 7, English, - fluoroprotein%20foam%20concentrate
