Latest Patents
Among his latest innovations is the "Compliant Single Net Marine Barrier." This invention features a floating marine barrier composed of components with equal elastic characteristics, allowing it to effectively absorb and arrest impacting vessels. The design includes barrier modules equipped with flotation devices, a supporting framework, and impact net support posts. An impact net is attached to each support post, extending along the barrier's longitudinal axis. Additionally, a main tension strength element connects the barrier modules, ensuring they are spaced appropriately. The impact net and the tension strength element share similar elastic properties, enhancing the barrier's overall performance.
Another significant patent is the "Compliant Net Support System for Marine Barriers." This system supports the net of a marine barrier and includes a floating barrier module with a flotation device and a supporting framework. It features multiple impact net support posts, with at least one being a compliant net support post. This post incorporates a unidirectionally elastic spring element, allowing for movement parallel to the barrier's longitudinal axis while remaining inflexible in the perpendicular direction.
