A multi-layer body armor plate includes a strike plate; a mesh layer positioned over the strike plate, the mesh layer having a number of open cells; and an outer skin layer positioned over the mesh layer so as to encapsulate the open cells of the mesh layer between the strike plate and the outer skin layer. The open cells of the mesh layer may entrap air or may be filled with expandable, buoyant foam.

A human interface device is configured to be coupled to a trunk of a person and comprises a frame, a fabric coupled to said frame configurable to be under tensile forces, and a belt configured to be coupled to two side edges of said frame wherein when said belt is worn by said person, an area of said fabric will be pushed against the person's lower back conforming to the shape of the lower back of said person. In operation when said human interface device is worn by said person, the weight of any load coupled to or supported by said frame will be partially supported by the friction force between the area of said fabric which is pushed against the person's lower back, and the person's lower back allowing said person to carry said load.

A compact, inflatable and portable ballistic shield and stretcher device is disclosed herein. The combination device comprises one or more inflatable panels, a protective cover, one or more straps for handling the combination device, a protective layer, a housing, and an optional wheel assembly for easily transporting the device, and that may also serve as a pump for purposes of inflating the inflatable panels if a source of compressed gas is not readily available. The panels of the portable ballistic shield and stretcher device can be selectively inflated on demand and as needed, and the portable ballistic shield and stretcher device can also be removably attached to other portable ballistic shield and stretcher devices to form a barrier to protect a user from arms fire and other unwanted projectiles.

The present invention relates to a furniture inlay personal protection shield that is removable from furniture to provide personal protection, in an emergency, from bodily harm threats. The furniture inlay personal protection shield comprising an exterior surface inlay that is sized and fabricated to fit into a predefined opening in the furniture surface, a bullet-resistant inner liner affixed to the interior surface of the exterior surface inlay, and at least one handle proximate the bullet-resistant inner liner where a user can, by way of the handle, securely position the bullet-resistant inner liner between the user and the bodily harm threat.

A concealed carry weapon (CCW) container offers a user a fail-secure locking mechanism to ensure that the CCW stays locked at all times even when there is no power. The CCW container enables the user to quickly and automatically unlock when the user utilizes the biometric recognition system, a pass code, or an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag. The CCW container employs interior and exterior lighting, quick access magnetic closure with or without a locking mechanism attached, and a ballistic armor plate to protect the user's vital body parts using the ballistic armor plat as a shield. Further, a method for managing the fail-secure locking mechanism allows the user to efficiently access the CCW content using a mobile app, the RFID tag, or any other biometric technology. Additionally, the method provides a panic switch that alerts security authorities of an incident and forwarding any salient video or sound thereto.
