But what if
there was a way to reduce or eliminate the
danger by detecting a person or an object
before contact? Well, a company in Florida
has done just that. INVISA has developed
a state-of-the-art breakthrough – a technology
that builds an invisible, non-contact safety
and security field precisely where it is
needed: moving with, and preceding a gate arm
or door to sense potential contact before
it happens. |

Safety and
security are more important than ever.
Invisa’s technology, InvisaShield™, provides a
safer, more reliable solution for traffic
control, perimeter protection, and other
security applications. On gates and doors,
InvisaShield can dramatically limit the damage
and expense of gate strikes and costly
strike-related accidents. Used in security
applications, InvisaShield is difficult, if
not impossible, to circumvent. |

To fully
appreciate InvisaShield in a safety
application, let’s compare it to current
solutions. Today’s non-contact sensors include
light beams, ultrasonic sensors, and ground
loop detectors. All of these devices are
designed to detect the presence of vehicles.
Even when installed correctly these sensors
still do not detect people, motorcycles and
bicycles, or many vehicles that have high
ground clearance, like SUVs. Also, these
sensors do not travel with the closing device
– so they can leave exposed areas unprotected
-- areas where they cannot detect the presence
of a vehicle. Another sensing method is the
contact edge, which as its name implies, must
make contact with the person or vehicle before
providing feedback to the closing device.
Contact can damage a vehicle … or even worse,
injure a person! Unlike these other approaches
to sensing, InvisaShield projects an invisible
field along the leading edge of a gate … a
field that travels with the moving leading
edge… a field that detects a person or object…
long before any contact occurs! While
pressure-sensitive mechanisms trigger only
after making contact or hitting a person
or object, InvisaShield can sense impending
disaster before contact. |

closure industry expert comments, i.e., “For
many years the parking and traffic control
industry has assumed that the damage and
insurance costs of gate strikes were the
unavoidable price of doing business. The
exposure to liability is real and substantial.
So real, in fact, that many parking operators
have resorted to warning signs and rubber pads
on gate arms in an attempt to minimize the
incidence of and damage from strike-related
accidents. However, in gate damage lawsuits
plaintiffs have shown those same pads and
warning signs as an admission of the high risk
that barrier gates represent.”
Head of municipal Parking Authority will make
comments such as: “Parking gates are essential
to controlling traffic in a parking facility,
whether it’s public or private. But operators
are constantly faced with the fact that people
who use our facilities are unpredictable. They
may be impatient; they may be distracted; they
may be confused… and people can interact with
our parking gates in ways that are not always
in their best interest, shall we say. In fact,
I know of a case where… (etc.etc.). In our
experience, it’s a lot less expensive to spend
money on safety devices than it is to spend
money on lawsuits and insurance claims. One
single claim can cost much more than an entire
safety system!” |

Traditional
safety mechanisms engage only after a
gate hits an object. The gate, sensing an
obstruction, reverses direction to avoid
causing further damage. But at that point, the
damage is done! InvisaShield™ senses an object
before it is hit, and reverses a gate
to avoid the contact -- and the damage or
injury. Bob Fergusson (engineer)
explains the technical aspects of InvisaShield
incorporated into SmartGate, i.e., “The key
benefit is that our invisible field moves with
and precedes the closing gate arm, and can
sense impending physical contact before it
occurs. Our patented, advanced solution is
simple and elegant. Unlike other technologies,
SmartGate has no narrowly focused light beams
to keep aligned, no lenses or sending units to
keep clean and free of obstructions... no
bulbs or emitters to burn out... and no
expensive installations in-the-pavement.
SmartGate does not need frequent adjustment or
cleaning and it is impervious to water, rain,
ice, snow, mud, dirt, dust, dew, fog or light
conditions.” etc, etc... |

For example,
the same InvisaShield used as an invisible

has also been adapted to protect valuable
museum exhibits. We’ve all seen those high-
tech movies where a valuable object is
protected by a complicated pattern of laser
light beams. In reality this type of solution
is not practical and is very expensive.
InvisaShield builds an invisible security
field shaped to envelop an object, then
detects any disruption of that field before
someone or something tries to
get too close to the object. It’s a whole lot
simpler, and a lot less expensive! |
