The invention includes a shelter, a piece of clear, bullet-resistant plastic, armor plates and a flaming projectile launcher. The shelter combines two panels of metal or wood, joined along one edge at a ninety degree angle but is also foldable. The clear plastic piece is installed in panel. One armor plate is held by a user, while several plates are embedded in the panels or piggy-backed together thereon. The launcher fires a flaming projectile at a lessened velocity by using fifty percent or less of the powder normally associated therewith.

Systems and methods for facilitating transportation of an observer in a vehicle include providing video images of an environment of the vehicle from a plurality of cameras having partly overlapping field of views, detecting an orientation of the observer's head, combining the video images to provide a first video image of a first section of the environment of the vehicle, and presenting a second video image of a second section of the environment of the vehicle. The second section is a subset of the first section and corresponds to the detected orientation of the observer's head. The first section is a proper subset of the environment seen by the plurality of cameras. The detecting and presenting are repeated after a predetermined time-period that is short enough not to cause nausea for the observer.

Secure vehicles and methods for transporting and dispensing products are provided herein.

The invention relates to a viewing instrument (1) for observing the surroundings and aiming at targets in the surroundings of a vehicle, in particular an armored vehicle, comprising an eyepiece unit (2) and an objective unit (3) and comprising an optical waveguide bundle (4), which connects the objective unit (3) and the eyepiece unit (2) to each other, wherein the optical waveguide bundle (4) transmits an image of the surroundings, which is focused by the optical unit of the objective unit (3) onto the objective-side end of the optical waveguide bundle (4), to the eyepiece unit (2), wherein a reticle (6) is arranged in an intermediate image plane, in which the optical unit (5) of the eyepiece unit (2) focuses the transmitted image of the surroundings as an intermediate image, and is rotatable about the optical axis (7) relative to the intermediate image.

Herein is disclosed a means of preventing killings of innocent people in an active shooting situation by providing a mobile/fixed bullet-proof shelter which is strategically placed close to the synagogue or church pews, teachers' and students' desks or placed also strategically in facilities such as shopping malls or other soft targets.

The 661 prior art clear, bullet-resistant plastic when attached to police flashlight or hand-held with improved utility, convenient, designer plastic handle, can double as an improved utility head and face shield to prevent head and face shooting injuries to officers at traffic or other stop and no such see-through bullet-resistant head and face shield has ever been made available to police until now, thus demonstrating its improved utility.

Because in a chaotic situation, it becomes problematic to locate the shooting site, the invention likewise provides a means of locating where the shooting is by firing the flaming projectile from the non-lethal prior art gun-like device, customarily used for water rescue, but now improved with reduced firepower by removing 50% or more of the powder in the shell, thus rendering it non-lethal but still disabling, at the door, window or wall to help in localization as well as marking the shooter for the police and disabling him/her by kindling his/her clothing, thus demonstrating its improved utility from its customary use for water rescue.

The present invention relates to a (meth)acrylic polymer composition. In particular the present invention it relates to polymeric composition suitable for security glazing. The invention also relates to a process for manufacturing such a polymeric composition suitable for security glazing. More particularly the present invention relates to a bullet resistant (meth)acrylic polymer composition and relates also to a process for preparing such a bullet resistant (meth)acrylic polymer composition and its use in glazing.

An anti-ballistic protection system for protecting a space in a building or vehicle comprising a protective barrier including one or more sheets of a laminated material having a plurality of layers of lightweight, flexible, ballistic resistant material such as woven sheets which are secured together using a glue, heat weld, or stitching. The system may include an automated control system operably configured to cause a change in state of the barrier from a retracted state to a protective deployed state, which may include a sensing system operably configured to detect a threatening event, wherein the sensing system upon sensing the threatening event triggers the barrier to transition from the retracted state to the deployed protective state such that in the protective state, the barriers are adapted to be resistant to penetration by high-speed ballistic objects such as bullets.

A shield has a rectangular body, one or more window openings, bullet-resistant glass panes in the windows, handles positioned along edges of the body on the backside, two or more rollerball bearings implemented along the lowermost edge of the body, and two wheels on axles with axes in the direction of the width of the body, the wheels positioned by brackets joined to the backside of the body proximate the lowermost edge. A user, grasping the handles, is enabled to hold the shield vertically oriented supported on the rollerball bearings and to move the shield side-to-side on the rollerball bearings, and wherein the user is further enabled to tilt the shield back toward the user, transferring support to the wheels rather than the rollerball bearings, and is then enabled to move the shield forward and backward on the ground or floor surface on the wheels.
