  • Patent number: 11823544
    Abstract: Safety apparatus including a first monitoring device designed to be locked onto a threatening individual and including GPS apparatus. A second monitoring device designed to be possessed by a threatened victim and including GPS apparatus. A relative motion sensor included in the second monitoring device designed to compare GPS information between the first monitoring device and the second monitoring device and to provide an activating signal when the GPS information indicates closing at a speed greater than the reaction time of the second monitoring device. A rapid response system included in the second monitoring device and connected to receive the activating signal from the relative motion sensor, whereby the rapid response system is activated to send one of a pulse mode and a drive-stun mode to the first monitoring device.

  • Patent number: 11147325
    Abstract: A sonic exfoliating glove includes a glove shaped member having a hand receiving portion with a hand receiving opening therein, four finger receiving portions, and a thumb receiving portion, the glove shaped member defining a palm surface overlying a palm and finger and thumb pads of a hand inserted therein. Five of six exfoliating pads are fixedly attached to the four finger receiving portions and the thumb receiving portion, one each, generally overlying the finger and thumb pads of the respective finger or thumb. A sixth exfoliating element is fixedly attached to the glove shaped member, so as to overly a central portion of the palm. At least one vibrating motor is attached to the glove shaped member and six connecting rods are each connected at one end to the at least one vibrating motor and at another end to the six exfoliating pads or elements, one each.

  • Patent number: 11037431
    Abstract: Safety apparatus including a first electronic monitoring device designed to be locked onto the wrist of a threatening individual and a second electronic monitoring device designed to be possessed by a victim. Both the electronic monitoring devices including GPS apparatus designed to provide GPS information as to the geographic position of the electronic monitoring bracelet. A remote monitoring station is electronically coupled to receive GPS information from both electronic monitoring devices. The remote monitoring station is designed to determine the geographic position of the first electronic monitoring device relative to the geographic position of the second electronic monitoring device and to provide appropriate proximity alerts to one or both individuals.

  • Patent number: 10501954
    Abstract: A sonic pool brush including a head assembly with a base having a plurality of electric motors/circuits mounted on an upper surface and a plurality of brush segments positioned in a row along the lower surface of the base. The brush segments connected one each to the electric motors/circuits, for oscillating motion of each individual brush segment when the plurality of electric motors/circuits are energized, each individual brush segment oscillating at a rate in the sonic range. A housing constructed to fit over the motors and engage the base in a waterproof arrangement and a source of electric power attachable to the plurality of electric motors/circuits for energizing the plurality of electric motors/circuits.
