George A. Gimber has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Seismic-acoustic detection device
    Patent number: 5054006
    Abstract: A detection system for indicating the presence of motorized equipment in a esignated area having an acoustic sensor, a seismic sensor and an acoustic signal transmitter. The seismic sensor output, processed to discriminate against vibrations of short duration, is fed along with the acoustic sensor output, to an "ANDing" circuit which gates the acoustic transmitter. The acoustic sensor output is passed to the transmitter only during coincidence of seismic and acoustic detection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 19, 1970
    Date of Patent: October 1, 1991
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: George A. Gimber, Edward J. Cotilla, Salvatore R. Picard, Robert F. Starry
