Publication number: 20210055081Abstract: A system for dispensing chemical deterrents is used to disperse atomized liquid chemicals into an area in order to deter trespassers. The system is configured to respond to existing security systems. The system includes a plurality of dispensing units, a controller, and a wireless communication device. The plurality of dispensing units is a set of components that provide the storage and dispersal means for contained chemicals and deterrents. The controller is a unit which accepts electrical inputs and outputs appropriate electrical outputs throughout the plurality of dispensing units. The wireless communication device is a remote transceiver capable of receiving signals from security systems or mobile devices, such as personal computing (PC) devices, smartphones, laptops, and more. Further, the wireless communication device may also be capable of collecting and subsequently relaying data to appropriate devices. Together, these components allow the system to activate in response to an emergency.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2019Publication date: February 25, 2021Inventor: Bruce Edward Blank

Patent number: 6451073Abstract: A single cell, multi-electrode high performance double layer capacitor includes first and second flat stacks of electrodes adapted to be housed in a closeable two-part capacitor case which includes only a single electrolyte seal. Each electrode stack has a plurality of electrodes connected in parallel, with the electrodes of one stack being interleaved with the electrodes of the other stack to form an interleaved stack, and with the electrodes of each stack being electrically connected to respective capacitor terminals. A porous separator is positioned against the electrodes of one stack before interleaving to prevent electrical shorts between the electrodes. The electrodes are made by folding a compressible, low resistance, aluminum-impregnated carbon cloth, made from activated carbon fibers, around a current collector foil, with a tab of the foils of each electrode of each stack being connected in parallel and connected to the respective capacitor terminal.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2000Date of Patent: September 17, 2002Assignee: Maxwell Electronic Components Group, Inc.Inventors: C.
