Subsurface Intrusion Detection System
US Patent:
2011016, Jul 14, 2011
Filed:
Feb 9, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/702630

International Classification:
G08B 13/00
US Classification:
340566
Abstract:
A system to detect subsurface activity. The system employs vibration sensor pairs, with each sensor pair having a shallow sensor and a deep sensor. Outputs of the sensors of a pair are processed together and events are detected based on the relative values detected by the sensors of the pair. When signal energy departs from a detected background level, the relative amplitude and frequency content of vibrations measured at the shallow and deep sensors may be compared. The comparison may be performed, at least in part, using a classifier that discriminates between subsurface activity and surface to activity. The outputs of sensor pairs may be aggregated to make a determination of whether subsurface activity exists and/or its location. Aggregation may involve comparing the outputs of the same sensor pair at multiple time intervals or may involve comparing the outputs of arrayed sensor pairs.

International Classification:
B62D 63/02, B62D 55/065
US Classification:
180 91, 180 141
Abstract:
A system for inserting a robot through an opening which includes a robot, the robot, payload, a tether, and a remote controller. The robot includes a first body supporting a first ground engaging drive and a second body supporting a second ground engaging drive. A pivoting connective linkage is provided between the first body and the second body. The connective linkage has an operative position in which the first body and the second body are in parallel spaced relation and an insertion position in which the first body and the second body are aligned on a common axis. An actuator is provided for moving the connective linkage from the insertion position to the operative position.

International Classification:
B64C 39/00, B64C 31/06
US Classification:
244155 A
Abstract:
A high altitude tethered platform, includes an airborne subsystem having a flight platform capable of flight. A powered propeller is mounted on the flight platform. A ground subsystem having a control system, a power delivery system, and a tether system is physically and operatively coupled to the flight platform. The tether system transmits power between the control system and the flight platform.
