| 20110176898 | SHIPPING CONTAINER LIFTING AND MANEUVERING DOLLY - A dolly is particularly adapted to lift, support and maneuver a 20-foot shipping container. A shipping container support frame also supports a shipping container capture assembly. The capture assembly includes a pair of parallel, opposing shipping container capture slides. A pair of hydraulic jacks is attached to each capture slide. The jacks move shipping container engagements pins vertically. The slides move the shipping container laterally and the jacks move it vertically to pick it up and allow the support frame to move under the container. The support frame has steerable wheels for movement. Counterweights or auxiliary container stabilizers are unnecessary. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20100236393 | Composite Armor Including Geometric Elements for Attenuating Shock Waves - The present invention's stratified composite material system of armor, as typically embodied, comprises a strike stratum and a backing stratum. The strike stratum includes elastomeric matrix material and inventive ceramic-inclusive elements embedded therein and arranged (e.g., in one or more rows and one or more columns) along a geometric plane corresponding to the front (initial strike) surface of the strike stratum. More rigid than the strike stratum, the backing stratum is constituted by, e.g., metallic (metal or metal alloy) material or fiber-reinforced polymeric matrix material. Some inventive embodiments also comprise a spall-containment stratum fronting the strike stratum. The inventive ceramic-inclusive elements geometrically describe any of various inventive modes, including: first mode, having a flat front face and a textured back face; second mode, having a pyramidal front section and a prismatoidal (especially, prismoidal, e.g., truncated pyramidal or prismatic) body section; hybrid mode, combining features of first and second modes. | 09-23-2010 |
