  • Publication number: 20150314979
    Abstract: The present invention relates to sheet-like materials suitable for use in the containment and protection of various items. More particularly, the present invention provides an improved storage wrap material comprising non-porous material, wherein the non-porous material includes a strainable network having a first region and a second region formed of substantially the same material composition, the first region providing a first, elastic-like resistive force to an applied axial elongation, and the second region providing a second distinctive resistive force to further applied axial elongation, thereby providing at least two stages of resistive forces in use.

  • Patent number: 6195608
    Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided for detecting vehicles which are moving through a predetermined zone. The apparatus includes a plurality of acousto-electric transducers trained on the zone. A bandpass filter is provided for processing electrical signals from the plurality of acousto-electric transducers. A correlator having at least two inputs and an output is provided for correlating filtered versions of the electrical signals originating from at least two of the plurality of acousto-electric transducers. An integrator is provided for integrating the output of the correlator means over time. Finally, a comparator is provided for indicating detection of a vehicle when the integrated output exceeds a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 6021364
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for acoustically monitoring a highway is disclosed which is inexpensive to maintain and install and does not require that the roadway be closed, torn-up or repaved. These results are obtained in an illustrative embodiment of the present invention which comprises a Mill's Cross acoustic array mounted proximate to a highway, spatial discrimination circuitry, frequency discrimination circuitry and interface circuitry that generates a binary signal which indicates when a motor vehicle is, or is not, within a detection zone on the roadway.
