utilized to protect LNG offloading facilities, Nuclear Power Plants,
and Sea Ports, EI continues to design and develop
it's complete line

attenuation and beach erosion.
Regarding the references

watercraft, Elemental Innovation has announced to the port
security community that its HALO line of products offer unmatched
protection when compared to any competing product. The company
is prepared to showcase HALO's abilities to ports currently
applying for a 2006

HALO SECURITY Barrier is the latest invention by Justin Bishop.
Mr.
Bishop
is the inventor and original patent owner of the WhisprWave® wave attenuator,
which has been successfully deployed for years and can now be seen at
the Naval Amphibious Base in Norfolk, Virginia. While the WhisprWave can reduce
a
5 second wave by up to 40% in height, tremendous improvements can be found
in the HALO, which can reduce a 5 second wave by an unprecedented 80% in height.
Extensive test studies have been conducted on the HALO at Stevens Institute
of Technology in Hoboken, NJ, Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA.,
and the US Army Corps of Engineers ERDC Facility in Vicksburg, MS.
About Elemental Innovation, Inc.
A leading engineering firm, Elemental Innovation, Inc. provides proven
coastal protection through the eco friendly, tunable HALO wave attenuator.
For less than
half the cost, the HALO wave attenuator out performs conventional technologies.
By absorbing rather than deflecting the force of waves, HALO eliminates 80%
of a wave’s height to protect beaches and harbors. Before founding
Elemental Innovation in 2000, Justin Bishop designed and patented the
WhisprWaveTM wave
attenuator. After selling the WhisprWave business, he then developed more advanced
technology and designed the HALO (formerly Tempest).
