1. A system for collecting debris, comprising:
a shredder;
a lifting blade that lifts the debris and provides the debris to the shredder;
self-propelled wheels to move the system forward;
a motor to power the shredder, the lifting blade, and the wheels;
a wall that transitions between a first position and a second position;
a conduit having a first output, and a second output, wherein the wall channels the debris to one of the outputs; and
a removable hopper having a catch area to receive the debris and a plate that urges debris out of the hopper and into the shredder.
2. The system of claim 1, further comprising:
a manipulator on the hopper, connected to the plate and having a portion that extends outside of the hopper, wherein the manipulator pushes upon the plate to urge the debris toward the shredder.
3. The system of claim 1, further comprising:
a bracket on the hopper, adapted to releasably attach the hopper to the shredder.
4. A method for handling debris, comprising:
utilizing a catch area to receive the debris into a hopper;
utilizing a manipulator to press upon a plate within the hopper;
pressing upon the debris in the hopper with the plate to urge the debris out of an output opening of the hopper;
releasably attaching the hopper to a grinder machine including a roof shingle stripper, grinder, and blower, so that debris including shingles passing out of the output opening is fed into the grinder of the grinder machine;
removing the hopper from the grinder machine; and
utilizing the grinder machine without the hopper to strip and grind shingles on a roof.
5. A method for handling debris, comprising:
utilizing a catch area to receive the debris into a hopper;
utilizing a manipulator to press upon a plate within the hopper;
pressing upon the debris in the hopper with the plate to urge the debris out of an output opening of the hopper;
releasably attaching the hopper to a grinder machine so as to provide a first debris to the grinder machine;
propelling the grinder machine forward so as to receive a second debris into the grinder machine;
shredding the first and second debris into pieces; and
providing the shredded debris to a conduit having a wall that, when the wall is in a first position, diverts the pieces in a first direction, and when the wall is in a second position, diverts the pieces in a second direction.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
What is claimed is:
1. A method of removing lesions by:
implanting a radioactive seed at the location of a lesion;
locating the lesion by detecting the radioactivity of the implanted radioactive seed; and
removing the lesion with the radioactive seed.
2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said implanting step further includes the steps of placing the radioactive seed at the location of the lesion using radioactive imaging and verifying proper placement of the radioactive seed.
3. The method according to claim 2, wherein said placing step further includes locating the lesion using a radioactive image and injecting the radioactive seed at the location found by the radioactive image.
4. The method according to claim 2, wherein said verifying step further includes confirming with an additional radioactive image that the radioactive seed is located at the location of the lesion.
5. The method according to claim 1, wherein said locating step further includes the step of running a radiation detector across the skin surface to determine the highest radiation count.
6. The method according to claim 1, wherein said removing step further includes anesthetizing the area containing the radioactive seed and lesion, surgically removing the lesion, the radioactive seed and a small amount of surrounding tissue; and then verifying that the radioactive seed has been removed.
7. The method according to claim 6, wherein said verifying step further includes placing the radiation detector on the lesion, radioactive seed and the surrounding tissue to take an ex vivo radiation count.
