  • Patent number: 4680013
    Abstract: A shipboard transportation simulator moves a cargo container in an ocean wave-like simulation. A frame is supported for movement about a real axis, and supports the cargo container with its center of gravity above the axis. Counterweights suspend from the frame locate the combined center of gravity of the frame and container substantially at the axis. The frame and container are driven about the axis, whereby the container may be tested by reverse pendulum harmonic motion. A breakbulk table may be substituted for the container, to test breakbulk restraint systems.

  • Patent number: 4580447
    Abstract: Test equipment which permits smoke or tear gas grenades to be detonated iors within an expansion chamber portion of the test equipment. The smoke or gas is then channelled through an opacity monitor which is capable of accurately measuring the volume of smoke or gas produced by the grenade. A borescoping system in the expansion chamber permits operating personnel to accurately check the duration of the smoke or gas emmission using external timing devices. After testing the smoke or gas is ducted through a high efficiency filtering system so that when exhausted into the atmosphere it is at a contamination level acceptable to federal and local air quality standards.
