A disaster alarm consisting of the combination of a small cardiac monitor, switching and signal coder controlling a transmitter which is actuated when high or low levels of a function such as heart rate are exceeded. The signal is picked up by a receiver which in turn is connected to an alarm system which continues to operate due to self-latching circuits until re-set. Two embodiments are shown one in which alarm signals only are transmitted in a pulsed or continuous fashion rather than the card...

Disaster valve apparatus for gas or oil wells in which a well pipe is disposed for conducting production fluid to the top of the well, the disaster valve being adapted for location below the top of the well in a control fluid tubing string above a packer sealingly engaged with the well pipe, the disaster valve having a valve sleeve provided with a central bore closed by a releasable plug, control fluid pressure in the control fluid tubing holding the valve open against the pressure of well fluid...

In an acceleration responsive disaster valve having a weighted collapsible column operatively interposed between the valve stem of a spring loaded valve and a yoke extending from the valve housing, the column compressing the valve stem to render the valve open, the improvement including an intermediate member adapted to be mounted at one end in any desired attitude with respect to the valve housing and adapted to connect to the yoke at the other end, a rocker pivotally mounted from said intermed...

A disaster shelter for mounting under ground. The shelter includes an entranceway having at least one air vent and a substantially hollow paraboloid shaped shelter cell. The shelter cell includes a paraboloid focus portion attached to the entranceway and paraboloid base portion disposed opposite the entranceway. A gravity ring is attached to the paraboloid base portion and is dimensioned such that the shelter is constrained within the ground when the water table reaches ground level.

Disclosed is an anti-disaster system in which terminals are called by the polling system and in which the response signals from the terminals are received and decoded by a receiver to issue an alarming. Each of the terminals has an interrupt transmission section for transmitting an interrupt signal at a predetermined time during the receiver's transmission of the calling signal when an abnormality is detected. The receiver has an interrupt detection section for monitoring the predetermined time ...

A weighted water bag for forming levees or dikes, in order to hold back rising flood water, the bag being woven of fiber and including a waterproof or sand inner liner; rings and clips at corners allowing bags to be locked together, a water filler opening at one end, and fiber handles for each side of the opening for easy handling, including forms having portions of the bag filled with sand.

Disclosed is a monitoring apparatus for disaster prevention which allows the setting of relay unit data to be revised with ease by effectively utilizing the information transmitting function between the receiver and the relay units. The monitoring apparatus for disaster prevention comprises relay units equipped with a storage device.

A strong, flexible, waterproof, odorproof pouch for transporting dead human bodies comprising an outer envelope that encases and is sealed at the outer edges to a transparent inner liner within which is placed the body or bodies to be moved. The outer envelope has a primary panel and the inner liner has a complementing secondary panel for gaining access to the interior of the inner liner to place or examine the remains therein. The primary panel is sealable using a heavy duty, zipper-type, slide...

A safety system. This system consists primarily of relay means together with a mercury switch, solenoids, and other component means for controlling utilities during the event of an earthquake.

In case of a disaster at one of a plurality of customer's locations, it is desirable to provide for a massive rerouting of telephone calls to that customer. A SafetyNet Service Reconfiguration (SSR) tool enables a network service provider to provide a recovery service for the event where a customer's business location becomes "non-functional". By using the SSR tool, the telephone network service provider can preplan how to reroute a customer's incoming calls to alternate business locations, or t...
