  • Publication number: 20160042202
    Abstract: An apparatus serving as a portable, lockable secure shell that prevents unauthorized physical and electrical signal access to a device enclosed within the shell. The apparatus comprises a case, a lid, a locking mechanism, cooling means, and charging means. When closed, the apparatus provides Faraday cage protection to an enclosed device to block external electronic, electromagnetic, and radio frequency signals from reaching the enclosed device, which preserves data stored in the device in its original form. In addition, the apparatus prevents clandestine access to an electronic device, which creates an obstacle to unauthorized access of information stored on the device.

  • Publication number: 20060029237
    Abstract: An apparatus (12) which overcomes the foregoing inconveniences of manually adjusting the audio device (10) volume related to a vessels speed and participants distance behind the vessel in a towable activity. This apparatus (12) controls audio volume levels (14) set at V2 and (16) set at V1 where V2 is greater than V1 and audio volume level (14) is achieved when vessels engine or propulsion shaft RPM is above set point (22) for a time greater than designated by (24), thereby controlling audio volume as a relation to vessel speed.
