In some embodiments, autonomous product delivery systems and methods are provided herein useful to deter theft of commercial products via an autonomous ground vehicle (AGV). In some embodiments, systems are provided to deter theft of commercial products, and may comprise: an AGV configured to transport commercial products to delivery locations that includes control circuits, which are communicatively coupled to sensors, container storage areas housing commercial products for delivery, defensive elements positioned proximate to the commercial products and configured to physical alter the commercial products and render them unsatisfactory for their intended purpose. The control circuits can determine the presence of unknown third parties positioned next to the AGV and, in response thereto, determine occurrences of adverse events associated with the AGV. Some embodiments, in response to determining the occurrence of adverse events, the control circuits can activate the defensive elements to physically alter the one or more commercial products.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method for averting a danger. The method is performed by a control apparatus for an unmanned vehicle, and the method involves obtaining a plurality of pieces of sensor information. At least partially depending on the obtained pieces of sensor information it is determined whether a danger exists. If it is determined that a danger exists, then at least one averting measure for averting the danger is determined, and the at least one averting measure is performed or caused to be performed.

A device for repelling pests includes a housing, a positioning mechanism to move the housing, at least three range-finding elements affixed to the housing along a common plane to detect a presence of a pest (e.g., an animate pest such as an animal, or an inanimate pest such as a drone) by obtaining a signal indicative of a location of the pest relative to the device, a projectile launcher affixed to the housing to fire one or more projectiles therefrom, and a controller electronically coupled to the range-finding elements, the positioning mechanism, and the projectile launcher. The controller may be configured to move the housing using the positioning mechanism until a strength of the signal obtained from each of the range-finding elements is substantially equal thereby indicating that the projectile launcher is directed toward the location of the pest, and to fire projectiles from the projectile launcher toward the pest.

A de-escalation spray that is an alternative to traditional pepper spray. Law enforcement carries traditional pepper spray or tear gas. However, the present de-escalation spray only affects the intended target, does not cause respiratory distress, is water soluble, and easily cleans up.

The present disclosure pertains to an emergency response vehicle designed for human-powered operation with the versatility to function both indoors and outdoors. The vehicle is particularly suited for deployment in high-risk areas to offer protection in emergency situations. It features a manually operable control system that allows for intuitive navigation, akin to the operation of a standard bicycle, making it accessible for users of all competencies. Emphasized within the vehicle's design is an integrated defense mechanism forged with bullet-resistant materials, aimed at safeguarding the operator amidst harmful scenarios, while the vehicle itself acts as a mobile protective barrier. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with a built-in offense system incorporating multiple non-lethal deterrents, providing a range of defensive options against potential threats. These features make the vehicle an asset for emergency response activities, enhancing safety and crisis management in environments susceptible to violent incidents.

The current invention provides for a fog generator. More specifically, it provides for a housing comprising a fog generating liquid and a valve that, in a closed position, prevents the fog generating liquid from flowing out of the housing, in which the said valve is kept in a closed position by means of a fuse wire (6).

A stun grenade includes a fuze assembly secured to a housing adjacent gas outlet ports. The fuze assembly includes a fuze body having contact surfaces located in the flow path of the gas from the outlet ports so that gas flowing from the outlet ports impinges on the contact surfaces. The contact surfaces of the fuze body extend at an angle of no more than about 50 degrees to the first direction.
