  • Patent number: 11965977
    Abstract: A system for providing integrated detection and deterrence against an unmanned vehicle including but not limited to aerial technology unmanned systems using a detection element, a tracking element, an identification element and an interdiction or deterrent element. Elements contain sensors that observe real time quantifiable data regarding the object of interest to create an assessment of risk or threat to a protected area of interest. This assessment may be based e.g., on data mining of internal and external data sources. The deterrent element selects from a variable menu of possible deterrent actions. Though designed for autonomous action, a Human in the Loop may override the automated system solutions.

  • Patent number: 4771367
    Abstract: The specification discloses an injection-molded electric plug having an integral circuit breaker. The plug housing is molded directly onto the power cord and defines a circuit breaker chamber. A circuit breaker is slidably received within the chamber and retained therein by spring fingers. The housing is elongated and the prongs extend from one of the long sides thereof so that the housing lays substantially flat against a receptacle. The prongs are angularly oriented with respect to the elongated body so that the body will not overlie adjacent receptacle outlets.
