International Classification:
H04B 7185
US Classification:
34235707, 342450, 342457, 340990, 34082549
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a system for tracking a fleeing vehicle comprising a frangible tracking projectile and a launcher to propel and attach the tracking projectile to the fleeing vehicle. The launcher is a handheld or vehicle mounted pneumatic gun that uses high pressure gas to fire the projectile at the fleeing vehicle. The tracking projectile comprises an outer plastic casing that holds a GPS receiver, a radio transponder and a power source in an adhesive mixture. When the tracking projectile strikes its target, the plastic casing shatters allowing the adhesive substance to attach the GPS receiver, radio transponder and power source to the fleeing vehicle.
Small Boat Mooring System
US Patent:
5265553, Nov 30, 1993
Filed:
Dec 6, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/804113
Inventors:
Hugh B. Brydges - Virginia Beach VA
Assignee:
Sea-Safe, Inc. - Virginia Beach VA
International Classification:
B63B 2104
US Classification:
114230
Abstract:
A small boat mooring system is provided for securing a boat to a dock, pier or pilings in such a way that the boat is free to move vertically with the normal changes in tide or wave action. The system comprises a plurality of nylon lines, a snaphook for connecting each line to the boat, a counterweight connected to the other end of each line, and hardware mounted on each of a plurality of pilings. The hardware comprises a steel plate section, a lag eye, a quick link, and a pulley connected thereto for conveying the nylon line through the hardware. The system of the present invention permits vertical movement of the boat, such as that caused by rise and fall of tides or rolling of the boat, while maintaining the boat centered in the slip and away from an associated dock, pier or piling. The system further redistributes or absorbs energy produced by the action of water, wind and other conditions on the boat. The mooring system may be quickly assembled and disassembled, and has the advantage of converting a slip normally used for larger boats into a slip which can accommodate a smaller boat.
