Abstract: A system for cooling a person includes a pump, a heat exchanger, a bladder, a thermometer, a heart rate variability (HRV) sensor, and a controller. The heat exchanger is in fluid communication with the pump. The bladder is configured to be placed on a person, and is in fluid communication with the heat exchanger. The thermometer measures a temperature of fluid passing through at least one of the pump, the heat exchanger and the bladder. The controller is in electrical communication with the thermometer, the HRV sensor and the heat exchanger, and is configured to control power delivered to or flow through the heat exchanger based on signals received from the HRV sensor.

Abstract: A bracket assembly for securing a tower section to a deck includes a lower support bracket, columns, and a pair of upper upper support brackets, which all have vertical plates with circular apertures. Each circular aperture spans at least two tower flange bolt holes. Attachment yokes are inserted into the circular apertures, and each have at least two bolt apertures, which match the bolt holes size and spacing. The yokes are rotated to align the holes for insertion of bolts. Specific yokes are provided to fit various tower sizes. The brackets can be stacked, and the yoke arrangement substantially reduces bolt torque requirements.

Abstract: A gooseneck extension device that increases the length of the available cargo space on a roll trailer, and enhances the ability to fully utilize the cargo space on a roll on roll off vessel. This results in the ability to carry more cargo per voyage.

Abstract: A vessel barrier system to prevent vessel movement through a passageway includes a flexible vessel barrier element coupled to one or more energy dissipating units. The vessel barrier element may be a single, typically large diameter element, for example a large diameter, high strength synthetic rope, or alternatively may be a barrier net suspended on a number of floats. The vessel barrier element is coupled by a cable to the energy dissipating unit(s), which may be large weights suspended from a frame. When a vessel contacts and moves the vessel barrier element, placing it in tension, the weights are moved from a first, lower position, to a second, elevated position. The kinetic energy of the vessel is transferred to an increase in the potential energy of the weights, and the vessel is brought to a stop. The system is particularly suitable for Large Displacement Vessels or LDVs.
