Abstract: A stun gun is disclosed having a firing mechanism, and also having a camera for automatically capturing post-firing images after the firing mechanism is activated. The post-firing image is automatically and digitally marked, or partly marked, to indicate when the camera was used. A method of gun operation is also presented, along with a system that includes both the gun and a gun holder. Removal of the gun from the gun holder may activate the camera's visual or audio collection capabilities, and further actions such as removal of a gun safety may heighten activation of the camera. The camera's visual collection capabilities include viewing both the target and also the user of the gun.

Abstract: A method and system of producing stereographic images of celestial objects uses distance information to offset one of two images produced on a display device. A digital computer under program control is used in combination with a user input device, such as a keyboard, and a display device, such as a computer monitor and/or a printer.

Abstract: A timing device for use with live animal traps accurately and easily maintains the elapsed time since an entering animal caused the trap door to close. The timing device uses a switch that senses trap door closure to activate a timing module. All components of the timing device mount unobtrusively to the trap so as not to hinder its operation and, for collapsible traps, to allow folding of the traps for storage and transport.
