This is designed particularly with ladies in mind since mostly they are victims for robbery, sexual and physical attacks. When attacked, the victim is dumb founded initially by shock to raise the voice.
The Rapid Cooling Station (RCS) and Integrated Cooling Ensemble (ICE) together provide a comprehensive, cheap, and easy-to-implement solution to one of the largest issues facing soldiers, firefighters, and other suited responders in the field today: heat management. Based on the requirements of protective equipment, significant heat builds within a subject’s suit even under moderate conditions and effort.
This submission is a device that would reduce the chance of bleed out in trauma situations such as gun shot and stab wounds. The device consists of a probe made of moderately flexible plastic that is surrounded by a ribbed latex balloon. The balloon would be inflated by a thumb pump in the handle.
The US patent #7860265, Planot® acoustic transducer diaphragm, redefines the way sound is produced. Smaller, cheaper, better.
