  • Publication number: 20160348492
    Abstract: A system for reducing salt water intrusion into a fresh water aquifer includes: a) generating means for removing brackish water from the aquifer via an brackish water extraction well at a first distance from the ocean; b) removal means for introducing the removed brackish water into a desalination system to generate a first stream of water with a first salt content and a second stream of water having a second salt content, the first salt content being less than the second salt content and less than the salt content of the removed brackish water; and c) introduction means for introducing at least a portion of the first stream of water into the aquifer via a barrier well at a second distance from the ocean, the second distance being greater than the first distance.

  • Patent number: 8500141
    Abstract: A portable shooting rail for use with a tree stand includes a rear frame assembly for engaging a tree. The rear frame assembly has a pair of spaced rear arms for engaging a tree and a pair of spaced forward arms and a vertical support portion that extends upwardly from the arms for placement against the tree. The vertical support member has a bottom cross bar and a top cross bar. The forward arms extend outwardly from the vertical support portion such that an obtuse angle is formed between the forward arms. A pair of struts connects the top cross bar to the forward arms. The shooting rail also includes a rail structure that is detachably coupled to the rear frame, with the rail structure being formed of separate rail sections that attach to one another and to the rear frame assembly to define a completed loop.

  • Publication number: 20050247310
    Abstract: The invention utilizes a chemical/biological hood with a filter-blower system that is attached to the chemical/biological hood. The filter-blower system provides overpressure to the hood only. The hood is fitted to or attached to a chemical/biological mask. Overpressure created by the filter-blower around the mask is created and is independent of the wearer's respiration so that over-breathing of the positive pressure is not possible. Typically this system would be available as a hood capable of providing enhanced protection. However, the filter-blower and hood system could be integrated with the mask. Cinching or sealing the hood at the neck can improve overpressure performance.

  • Publication number: 20050137755
    Abstract: A License Sanction Enforcement System™ technology that includes at least one sensor worn by an individual to be monitored and a data storage unit. The sensor can detect directional angle and acceleration motion. The data storage unit is coupled with the sensor and stores the angle kinematic data detected by the sensor. The device determines whether the individual is operating or has operated a motor vehicle based upon analysis of the angle and acceleration data, and creates a record in the data storage unit of each occurrence that operation of a motor vehicle is detected. Alternatively, the data storage unit may be used to store the raw detection data, which can be transferred to an external data processing device for analysis.
