20080279631 | Wave attenuator and security barrier system - connector - A connector for a wave attenuation system formed by connecting a plurality of panels in a structure positioned in a body of water; the system causes the dissipation of wave energy. Different configurations of panel, having different flow characteristics, used in the structure, and different types of connector used to connect panels, create different patterns of water flow within the structure, and contribute to wave energy dissipation. Units deployed in harbors, rivers, marinas and the like, help to prevent beach erosion and can facilitate beach nourishment. Embodiments can be utilized as a security barrier, preventing intrusion by trespassers, divers or various sized boats. A variety of sensors can be mounted to the structures, enabling detection of movement, chemical and biological agents, explosives or radiation. A submersible gate, comprising panels and a buoyancy control mechanism, allows for passage of boats and can be controlled remotely. | 11-13-2008 |

20090090059 | System and method of using rope in security application - Embodiments of this invention include describe an improved apparatus and method for using ropes with security units/barriers deployed in water or on land. The ropes are preferrably deployed with hollow plastic tubes which protect the ropes from abrasion, UV light, and damage from animals. A rope contained within a tube is under no stress until an intruding object impacts the security barrier and the security barrier reaches its elastic limit. | 04-09-2009 |
20100029151 | Float for use in water-based security system - Embodiments of this invention describe a float for use with a running gear entanglement system (“RGES”) deployed on water, in addition to an improved system and method for using an RGES deployed in water. The floats lock securely onto the RGES mainline rope. The floats may be stacked for additional buoyancy or to allow for multiple RGES ropes in the same deployment. The floats are designed to permit the RGES to be retrieved/stored on and deployed from a reel. The floats may be constructed of any color and may also be luminescent. The floats may be ballasted to assist in anchoring the RGES. | 02-04-2010 |
20100059728 | Security barrier - Embodiments of this invention describe a security system/barrier for use in water, in additional to a method for using the security barrier and improved individual components of the barrier. The security barrier comprises a top structure (“topper”), a vertical pin, a butt plate, a rope-containing tube (“rope tube”), and an individual panel. Other embodiments describe a multiple row security barrier, a flexible mooring for the barrier, and use of acoustic sensing equipment in the lee of the barrier. | 03-11-2010 |
20120091412 | SECURITY BARRIER SYSTEM - A security barrier system includes a security barrier unit including a first panel group, a second panel group, a connecting member for connecting the first panel group and the second panel group. The first and second panel groups are disposed substantially in parallel and face each other. Each of the first and second panel groups includes one or more sub-panel groups, each of which includes barrier panels arranged in line, intermediate members each disposed between adjacent barrier panels, rope tubes and ropes. Each barrier panel has a front face, a rear face and side faces and has channels passing through from one side face to another side face. The rope tubes are disposed in the channels, respectively, so that the rope tubes pass through the barrier panels and the intermediate members. The barrier panels and the intermediate members are connected by the ropes disposed in the rope tubes. | 04-19-2012 |
20130108368 | MARINE BARRIER GATE | 05-02-2013 |
20130119334 | MARINE BARRIER AND GATE - A marine barrier has substantially vertical panels, each having a buoyant portion, and a plurality of hinges, each hinge for elastically connecting a side of a first one of the panels to a side of an adjacent second one of the panels with an included angle therebetween, to form a buoyant continuous pleated row of panels, with the hinges arranged in first and second substantially parallel rows. An impact cable is attached to opposing ends of the pleated row of panels passing through each of the hinges in the first row of hinges. When the barrier is floating in water and a moving vessel impacts the impact cable, the impact cable deflects to transfer a force of the impact to one or more of the panels, which in turn engage the water to transfer the force of the impact to the water, to arrest the motion of the vessel. | 05-16-2013 |
