Cable-line Safety System: Electro/hydraulic Emergency Stop Device for a Winch, Drum or Capstan
This CDC-developed invention entails a system of electrical and hydraulic circuits used to stop a rotating winch in an emergency. Amongst other locations, one stop switch can be positioned on a capstan winch horn. This location makes it available to a victim entangled in rope being retrieved on a gypsy drum. As designed, the stop circuit could be...

Sensor to Detect Corrosion in Post-Tensioned Bridges and Buildings
Device Uses Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy to Inspect Structures This sensor uses electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to detect corrosion in bridges and buildings supported by post-tensioned structural tendons. The Federal Highway Administration has rated nearly one in nine U.S. bridges as structurally deficient. With the average age of the...
