  • Patent number: 9347756
    Abstract: The invention comprises a device and method of using said device(s) including but not limited to; Long Range Acoustical Devices (LRAD), Hyper Sonic Sound (HSS), Cascaded Linear Array Systems (Clas and BClas) and or HyperSpike devices currently and typically used for sonar, acoustic hailing, crowd control, mass notification, and sonic boom simulation—to initiate avalanche release in or in proximity to avalanche corridors and starting zone(s) as a non-explosive control alternative. The invention is an integration of technologies incorporating an infrasound generator, on board power supply and amplification, inverter, digital signal processor, GPS, and RF receiver all housed in a rugged weather resistant enclosure with necessary gantry and rigging. The combination of these technologies allows control personnel to safely operate the equipment from a remote location. The invention is deployed remotely via a cable or network of cables to predetermined avalanche starting zone(s).

  • Publication number: 20110261645
    Abstract: The invention comprises a synergy of technology integrations including an acoustic device and method of using said device(s)—to initiate avalanche release as a non-explosive control alternative. The invention is an integration of technologies incorporating an acoustic device, power supply and amplification, inverter, digital signal processor, GPS, and RF receiver all housed in a rugged weather resistant enclosure with necessary gantry and rigging. The combination of these technologies allows control personnel to safely operate the equipment from a remote location. The invention is deployed remotely via a cable or network of cables to predetermined avalanche starting zone(s). The device can be rotated, panned the full length or range of the cable(s), and tilted offering the user comprehensive coverage of any topography.
