20100107938 | PROTECTIVE SHELTER - A protective shelter that provides protection within a war zone and which can be readily assembled in a quick, secure and reliable manner. The shelter is formed of opposite outer walls and a roof structure extending therebetween, wherein the roof structure comprises a plurality of tray members supported by beam supports and in which the plurality of tray members is arranged to receive earth, sand or aggregate material so as to provide a first layer of protection via the roof structure. The tray members can be supported by beams serving to define a shallow arch across the shelter such that the internal height of the shelter centrally, and away from the opposite walls, is greater than the height of the said walls. | 05-06-2010 |
20100154687 | Data center - This application relates to improvements to data centers, including protection from: (1) vandalism, (2) high winds, (3) earthquake, (4) storms, (5) water used for cooling or fire suppression, and (6) explosions emanating from inside or outside of the building. | 06-24-2010 |
20110226166 | OVERHEAD PROTECTION SYSTEM - A protective shelter is disclosed. The shelter may be sized to protect an existing, unhardened structure, and its contents. Or, the shelter may be sized to protect an individual or other objects of similar size. In either case, the shelter provides protection from blasts from explosive shells, rockets, and the like. The shelter has a support frame that supports a blast cover that is positioned above the object or objects to be protected. A burster screen is positioned above the blast cover and may be supported by the support frame. The burster screen serves to detonate incoming ordinance before the ordinance reaches the protected object or objects. The blast cover is strong enough to withstand the resulting shock from the detonated ordinance, and thus prevents damage to the protected object or objects located below the protective shelter. This invention may be used to retrofit existing, unhardened structures in areas where additional protection is needed. It also may be used as part of the design of new facilities, and offers the option to later remove the hardened, protective part of the structure if the threat level changes for the better. In the smaller, personnel-protection embodiment, the invention may be air dropped to remote locations and assembled by personnel in the field. | 09-22-2011 |
20120079968 | PERSONAL PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE - A protective structure for personal and or group protection designed to withstand falling objects, flying objects and structural failure resulting from earthquakes or other dangers known and unknown is provided. The protective structure includes a support structure having an internal cavity sized to accommodate one or more persons. The support structure has a skeletal frame of elongated structural members and a structural skin coupled to at least a majority of a perimeter of the skeletal frame. An overlay may cover at least a portion of an exterior surface of the support structure such that the support structure is at least partially concealed and resembles school, office or home furniture. The protective structure is designed to protect the occupant from an initial disaster, such as an earthquake, and maintain protection until rescue is made or risks of injury diminish. | 04-05-2012 |
