A cage (17) with recesses (18) that holds the clamping bodies (6) is arranged radially outside of the spring band (13) in the gap (12).

An ocean wave-crest powered electrical generator comprises a buoyant vessel anchored to the sea floor by mooring chains. The vessel defines a substantial opening at the bow leading to a paddle wheel such that ocean wave crests flow past the paddle wheel while passing through the generator thereby capturing the power of the continuous wave crests passing through the bow opening. The paddle wheel transforms energy from the breaking wave crests into kinetic energy that in turn activates an electric power generator. The wave crest electrical generator is permanently moored near the beach and allowed to rise and fall with the tide thus allowing for a continuous flow of ocean waves to be converted into power. Pumped storage provides a sustained flow of energy that is easy to regulate and this can be accomplished in combination with “energetic marinas” by constructing a reservoir on top of a near-by cliff, hill or tall building.

A computer system and a database comprise corresponding features. The present invention offers an economical way of providing medical assistance for a transport of a patient, and in particular a way by which high-level medical assistance can be organized with little waiting time for the patient.

Windblown particles are controlled by a porous tubular control device formed from a sheet of netting material having a plurality of interconnected webs which define a plurality of apertures. The sheet of netting material assumes a three-dimensional tubular configuration. The tubular configuration is oriented to confront the wind and cause the wind blown particles to flow through the apertures of two vertically oriented portions of the tubular netting sheet to create aerodynamic drag and turbulence altering effects which stabilize, deposit and retain the windblown particles. The control device is effective in preventing the wind erosion of snow, sand or dust over an area much greater than the area occupied by the device.
