An apparatus for achieving remote guarding of an area with adjustable effect on unauthorized entrants, comprising an operator station including a signal receiver with television display, radiant energy selection control, and energy level controller, a first sensor means placed about the area for detecting the presence and movements of entrants to the area, the visual effects of later radiation directed toward them, and generating signals in response thereto, a source of radiant energy including at least one transmitter of the energy for broadcasting the energy into the area, upon selection of the type of radiant energy from the selection control, and of a level controlled by the energy level controller, the radiant energy of a nature and intensity capable of varying in strength and duration as to cause different observable effects on intruders present in the area who do not leave the area upon command, second sensor means placed about the area for detecting the onset of and intensity of the radiant energy broadcast into the area and generating signals in response thereto, first transfer means for transferring the generated signals from the first sensor means and separately transferring the generated signals from the second sensor means to the signal receiver in the operator station to allow the operator real-time observation of the area. and second transfer means for transferring control signals from the operator station to the radiant energy source and transmitter to vary the type and intensity of the radiant energy broadcast into the area to prevent further intrusion into the area.

Remote guard-presence system with adjustable effect and process of using

A method of enhancing the remediation of contaminated soils and ground water, production of oil and gas, and production of any solid, gas, and/or liquid from subsurface geologic and man-made formations including the steps of estimating the geometric boundaries of the region containing the material to be recovered, drilling a recovery well(s) into subsurface in a strategic location to recover the material of interest, establishing multiple sources of acoustical power in an array about and spaced-apart from the surface or at various depths below the surface in a borehole(s) and/or well(s), directing a volume of acoustical excitation from the sources into the region containing the material to be recovered, the excitation in the form of either controllable sinusoidal, square, pulsed, or various combinations of these three waveforms, and controlling the phasing, frequency, power, duration, and direction of these waveforms from the sources to increase and control the intensity of acoustical excitation in the region of the material to be recovered to enhance. the recovery of said material from the recovery well(s). The invention will augment any technology affecting the removal of materials from the subsurface.
