A portable electric fence kit for the erection of a temporary electric fence comprising: a primary fence section which is portable and non-electrified having two or more poles, a secondary fence section having two or more insulated poles secured to the poles of the primary fence section and having the ability to be electrified using a plurality of wires spanning the distance between the insulated poles, a plurality of wires spanning the distance between the insulated poles, system controls operationally associated with the fence sections, a power source operationally associated with the fence sections and the system controls, the power source providing electricity to the secondary fence sections and a coupling means which allows for one section of the fence kit and its wires to be coupled to another section of the fence kit and its wires.

A 3-in-1 self-defense apparatus with a blinding LED light panel, pepper spray, and a stun gun in a compact and unassuming form factor. A pepper spray canister is disposed within the top of the tubular handle. The blinding LED light panel is disposed within the front of said handle, and the stun gun is disposed within the bottom of said handle. A rechargeable battery housed inside the handle provides power to the LED light panel and to the stun gun. The battery is charged with a USB port disposed within the back of the handle next to a plurality of controls which are used for the light and the stun gun. A plurality of concave indentations along the handle, as well as an adjustable wrist strap disposed to the top of the handle, provide grip for the user.

A hand-held personal-protection shock device apparatus and method providing a safety-pin mechanism to prevent unauthorized use or use by an attacker who wrests the device away; a siren that sounds when unauthorized use is attempted; a hand-held configuration that is comfortable to grip securely, with the shocking elements positioned optimally; built-in recharging equipment; and a switch configuration which promotes safe, rapid, and efficient use in an attack by a person or animal.

A location tracking system for allowing a user to monitor the location of an abuser who has been issued a restraining order. The tracking system includes a monitoring unit to be carried by the user that is in wireless communication with a monitored unit to be worn by the abuser. The monitoring unit includes a housing having a display screen thereon, wherein the display screen shows the location of the monitoring unit and the location of the monitored unit. The monitoring unit is configured to determine the distance of separation between the monitoring unit and monitored unit. The monitoring unit includes an alarm unit that will produce an audible alert if the distance of separation drops below a predetermined minimum distance.

Locks, systems and methods of monitoring a lock, the lock having a hub with a slot rotatable by a handle to open and close a latchbolt. A locking member is moveable into and out of engagement with the hub slot to prevent and permit movement of the hub and latchbolt. A sensor on the lock, adjacent the hub and locking member, monitors a moving lock component. The sensor may sense the position of the locking member in or out of engagement with the hub slot. The sensor may be a reed switch actuated by a magnet on the moving lock component. The lock may further include a magnet mounted on the hub and the sensor may comprise a reed switch capable of being actuated by the magnet on the hub. The lock and system may include an external control unit having an alarm for controlling operation of the lock.

The present invention is a wearable, multi-sensory, personal safety and tracking device which predicts danger by sensing changes in voice, pulse, emotions, impact, motion of the wearer and the device state. In emergency situations, the device triggers SOS, alarm, electro shock, pepper spray and starts capturing images and audio recording for the safety of the wearer. For keeping a track of the wearer, the device connects to the internet using GPRS and sends the images clicked, the sound recorded and the GPS and GSM coordinates to the rescue team for gaining help for the wearer if needed. In the present invention, various technologies are integrated into one single wearable device thereby eliminating the need for purchasing and carrying multiple devices like pulse monitor, motion monitor, phone, camera, GPS module, self-defense tools, etc. thus saving money and providing comfort to the user.

Electrified access-control technology devices for a door, particularly electrified locks for a door, having embedded circuitry therein, and methods of making the same. One or more printed circuit boards (PCBs) having various electronic circuitry are secured inside a housing that encases an access-control device, particularly a lock, for a door. The one or more PCB(s) may be embedded on an internal surface of the housing such that the embedded PCB resides inside the housing along with the lock itself. The embedded PCB(s) avoid interference of both any working components of the lock inside the housing and any openings residing in the housing.
