Title: Heave plate with improved characteristics
Inventor: GERBER JAMES
IPC: F03B13/18
Filed: 2007-04-30
Abstract: Apparatus embodying the invention include a damping plate attached to1 the submerged end of a spar-like element floating in a body of water. The spar like element tends to move up and down in a vertical direction in response to passing waves. The damping plate has a pair of oppositely facing surfaces extending transversely to the vertical direction of the movement of the spar-like element and vertical structures ("lips") mounted on the oppositely facing surfaces for increasing the effective mass of water pushed during movement of the damping plate through the water. Damping plates with lips, as per the invention, may be used in wave energy converters to control the relative motion between the spar- like element and a float to increase the energy produced. Damping plates with lips, as per the invention, may be used to effectively dampen the motion of an offshore platform to which the spar-like element is fixedly attached.

Title: Bollard having an impact absorption mechanism
Inventor: MCCUE DAVID S
IPC: E01F15/00
Filed: 2010-01-06
Abstract: A plate-mounted bollard which includes an internal impact absorption mechanism that enables the bollard to absorb impact forces greater than conventional plate-mounted bollards.  The bollard makes use of a force transfer process that shifts impact forces to areas better able to resiliently absorb the impact without causing damage to the bollard, the impact absorption mechanism, or the ground in which the bollard is installed. The impact absorption mechanism consists of an internal resilient core rod mounted at its proximal end to a base plate which is fixed to the ground. Impact forces are then transferred through an outer shell to the distal or upper end of the internal resilient core. With energy from the impact force being distributed along the maximum length of the resilient core rod, the rod flexes and the full length of the rod is utilized to absorb the impact energy.
