Cell Phone Gun
Inventors Description: An electronic device (cell phone) with a concealed firearm.
The device includes a housing having an interior face and an exterior
face and with a cavity therein. The housing has a plurality of buttons
and digital electronics. A tubular wall with a rigid central bore is
adapted to function as the barrel of a firearm. Primary
electronic components are provided including electronic elements to
allow the bullet to be discharged upon a first instruction from at
least one of the buttons.
Yep! It's a cell phone, it's a gun, it's both! Uumm..maybe I'll let
that guy talk to his stock broker for a feewwww more minutes....

Bed Protection Device
Inventor's Description: A protective bed includes a shield
comprising bullet-proof and impact resistance material that surrounds a
metal frame. The shield operably separates to provide access to an
interior sleeping area. Quick access doors are located on either side
of the bed. A ventilation system provides for climate control as well
as filtering harmful substances from the air. A rebreather scrubs
carbon dioxide from air within the unit to allow a user to close the
unit to outside air.
Probably meant to protect the user from terrorist attacks, but will
probably end up a "birth control device" to the parents of teenage
daughters! Her boyfriend can sneak into the house if he wants,
but what's he going to do? Does the unit include steel underwear, too?

Ballistic Missle Protector For Civilians
Inventor's Description:
A ballistic resistant body covering for protecting the torso, groin and
neck area from ballistic missiles. The ballistic resistant body
covering includes a torso portion having a front plate and a back
plate. Each of the plates is securely coupled together. The torso
portion has a neck opening, a pair of arm openings and a torso opening.
A groin portion has a generally cup-shape and a pair of leg openings
therein. A fastening member releasably couples a top edge of the groin
portion to a bottom edge of the torso portion. Each of the torso and
groin portions comprises a ballistic resistant material.

Device To Prevent People From Biting Or Spitting At You
Inventor's Description: Apparatus and method for spit and bite protection from dangerous persons: The
inventive apparatus and method of use thereof remedies at least some of
the problems and dangers associated with applying restraint holds to
violent and/or struggling persons by protecting restraining or
escorting personnel from harm that may be inflicted on them by the
target person during and after application of restraint holds (such as
spitting and biting). The inventive protective apparatus advantageously
comprises an collar (for example a cervical collar) that protects and
stabilizes the person's neck and prevents neck injuries and
head-butting, and a readily deployable face shield that attaches to the
cervical collar and that prevents the person from spitting on and/or
biting the staff members. The face shield may be permanently or
releasably attached to the collar.

A "See Through Door" Flashlight
Inventor's Description: "The Instant Savior": A personal security
device incorporated into a conventional flashlight for informing a
person, by remote control means, who is outside the door of the house,
and indicating by a picture, whether it is a man, woman or child, the
picture appearing on a view screen of a unit mounted on the flashlight,
so that a person is thus cautioned against opening the door,
particularly if there is a man outside.
This device was patented in the 1970's, so we're not quite sure how
the technology was supposed to work. But if you have a fear of
cowboys (look closely at the pic), this is the miracle product for you!
Patented January 11, 1977.

Mobile Robot Intruder Detector
Inventor's Description: A mobile detection system for detecting a fire, intruder, or
other abnormal condition in a house or an office, and for alerting a
central monitor, fire station, police station, or an occupant who is
away from the house or office. The mobile detection system comprises a
self-propelled movable robot having sensors located thereon. A monitor receives signals from the robot and alerts an authorized user accordingly.
This device is supposed to scare away intruders, but it looks more
like R2D2's long lost cousin with some sort of a thyroid problem.
Patented February 18, 1993.

Non-Human Detector
Inventor's Description: Automated surveillance monitor of non-humans in real time:
A system for non human animal-based surveillance including a non-human
animal-borne, non-human animal noise sensor, and a non-human animal
noise analyzer operative to receive sensed non-human animal noises, to
determine at least partially therefrom whether an alarm situation
exists and to provide an alarm indication output.

A Wearable Device That Tells You If You're Frightened (Read The Description At Your Own Risk)
Inventor's Description: "Providing an alarm in response to a determination that a person may have suddenly experienced fear."
A computer system processes physiological data signals provided by a
physiological-condition monitoring system to determine whether the
person may have suddenly experienced fear by comparing the monitored
physiological data with stored stress profile data for the person that
is based upon measurements of the monitored physiological conditions of
the person during situations of stress and/or upon statistical
classification in view of a combination of predetermined
characteristics of the person. When such processing by the computer
system determines that the person may have suddenly experienced fear,
the computer system activates an alarm indicator. The computer system
includes a neural network for modifying the stored stress profile data
in response to an input signal indicating that the computer system
provided a false alarm indication. The surrounding conditions that may
have caused the determination of probable fear are recorded and
transmitted to a remote location.
Our brains hurt just looking at that picture...couldn't you just say "I'm frightened?"

Compressed Gas Device For Signalling Distress
Inventor's Description:
"Compressed gas visual notification device for signaling
distress": A compressed gas visual notification device for
signaling distress is provided. The compressed gas dispersal receptacle
member also includes a quantity of aerosol, non-toxic micro-dispersion
colored particles therein for adding color to the compressed gas.
Actuation of the firing mechanism activates the air actuator shell so
that the compressed gas and colored particles are released into the
atmosphere as a visual notification device.
.....just fart at your assailant! It's just as effective, and much cheaper!

Self Defence Stick..errr....Baton, Sorry
Inventor's Description:
"Baton": A generally cylindrical baton having a center of
gravity displaced from its longitudinal axis reducing the tendency of
the baton to roll when laid on a generally horizontal supporting
surface. The baton includes a flat end which permits the baton to rest
vertically on a generally horizontal supporting surface and a handle
operatively connected to a substantially rigid band secured between the
ends of the baton which slides along the length of the baton permitting
the baton to be easily concealed while being carried.
This is the most detailed description of a stick we've ever seen...this person is a genius!

Top 10 Most Bizarre Security Inventions:
Yes,
these are real security and alarm protection inventions, recently
patented at the U.S. patent office. Don't leave home without them!
The
age-old social custom of biting and spitting in the face of people you
meet should really go the way of the dinosaurs. Come on, people, it's
the 21st century! Perhaps if everyone wore a device like this, it would
bring much needed attention to this issue.

Okay, so judging by the picture provided, this is how the whole operation is set up:
1. Build a nuclear power generator to provide power for the system.
2. Build a giant air craft that resembles a cloud with the word "network" written on it.
3. Fly the craft to 50,000 feet.
4. Attach the dog to the cloud craft with string.
5. If you hear the dog bark, something is wrong and you'll be alerted.
