  • Publication number: 20250085926
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system comprises a generator of a truly random signal is connected to an input and feedback device for the purpose of providing a user with real time feedback on the random signal. The user observes a representation of the signal in the process of an external physical event for the purpose of finding a correlation between the random output and what happens during the physical event. In some examples, the system is preferably designed such the system is shielded from all classically known forces such as gravity, physical pressure, motion, electromagnetic fields, humidity, etc. and/or, such classical forces are factored out of the process as much as possible. The system is thus designed to be selectively response to signals from living creatures, in particular, humans.

  • Patent number: 11828577
    Abstract: A cannister deployment apparatus for discharge of gas cannisters within a target building includes a battering ram arranged for being carried on a vehicle for penetrating into the building when impacted on the building by the vehicle. The battering ram has a housing with a plurality of receptacles for receiving the cannisters to be discharged respectively therein. The receptacles include (i) one or more release receptacles arranged to release the respective cannister from the release receptacle upon actuation by a release actuator so that the cannister is discharged from the housing, and (ii) one or more discharge receptacles enabling actuation of the respective cannister into an active state while the cannister remains supported within the discharge receptacle upon actuation by a discharge actuator arranged to trigger a release lever of the cannister in the discharge receptacle into an active state.
