20150101269 | Modular Isolation Systems - A modular base isolation system suitable for constructing isolation floors and platforms using the same elements, and capable of scaling up or down to suit the payload mass. These systems are low profile and permit placement of such systems un paces having restricted headroom. Also kits and methods or making and using such modular isolation systems. | 04-16-2015 |
20140291475 | Seismic Isolation Systems - Improved isolation flooring systems, and methods for their use are disclose for protecting a payload, such as heavy or delicate equipment (such as laboratory or computer equipment), from damage due to vibrations, such as seismic vibrations. In preferred embodiments, the invention is drawn to methods of isolating heavy and/or sensitive objects from the full acceleration of seismic vibrations. | 10-02-2014 |
20130247505 | Isolation Platform - The present invention provides a platform for supporting various equipment and/or structure which assists in isolating such structure from vibrations (“noise”) external to the platform. Generally, the platform comprises upper and lower plates, having conical depressions, upon which the upper plate supports the abovementioned structure, and the lower plate contacting surface/area upon which the supported structure otherwise would have rested. Between the upper and lower plates, a plurality of rigid, spherical bearings are placed within the conical depressions, thereby allowing the upper and lower plates to displace relative to one another. Additionally, the platform may be provided with retaining mechanisms for holding the structure to be supported, maintaining the plates together and providing additional damping effects. | 09-26-2013 |
20130119224 | Composite Isolation Bearings - Improved isolation bearings, platforms, and tracks are disclosed for protecting a payload, such as delicate equipment, from damage due to vibrations, such as seismic vibrations. The isolation platforms and bearings combine a plurality of shapes on their load bearing surfaces to increase stability of the payload even when subjected to vibrations of high velocity or intensity. | 05-16-2013 |
20120266558 | Seismically Stable Flooring - Methods and systems for isolating objects from seismic vibration, isolation flooring systems, vibrational damping devices, and methods for their use are disclosed. The present invention has the advantage of having a minimum of moving parts, and being extraordinarily easy to install and inspect. In preferred embodiments, the invention is drawn to methods of isolating sensitive objects from the full extent of seismic vibrations. | 10-25-2012 |
20120222369 | Isolation Platform - The present invention provides a platform for supporting various equipment and/or structure which assists in isolating such structure from vibrations (“noise”) external to the platform. Generally, the platform comprises upper and lower plates, having conical depressions, upon which the upper plate supports the above-mentioned structure, and the lower plate contacting surface/area upon which the supported structure otherwise would have rested. Between the upper and lower plates, a plurality of rigid, spherical bearings are placed within the conical depressions, thereby allowing the upper and lower plates to displace relative to one another. Additionally, the platform may be provided with retaining mechanisms for holding the structure to be supported, maintaining the plates together and providing additional damping effects. | 09-06-2012 |
20110222800 | Methods and Compositions for Isolating a Payload from Vibration - Improved isolation bearings, platforms, and tracks are disclosed for protecting a payload, for example delicate computer equipment such as a hard disk drive, from damage due to vibrations, such as seismic vibrations, as well as weaker vibrations due to HDD, motorized equipment, air conditioning, heating systems, and the like. The isolation platforms and bearings combine a plurality of shapes on their load bearing surfaces to increase stability of the payload even when subjected to vibrations of high velocity or intensity, and preferably have an elastomeric coating on all but a central portion of the load-bearing surfaces of the bearing plates. | 09-15-2011 |
20110024600 | Isolation platform - The present invention provides a platform for supporting various equipment and/or structures which assists in isolating such structure from vibrations external to the platform. Generally, the platform comprises upper and lower plates, having depressions comprising a combination of linear and radial surfaces, upon which the upper plate supports the above-mentioned structure, and the lower plate contacts a surface/area upon which the platform is to rest. Between the upper and lower plates, a plurality of rigid, spherical bearings are placed within the depressions. | 02-03-2011 |
