Abstract: Described embodiments include an electro-shock projectile, a system, and a method. The electro-shock projectile includes a recognition circuit configured to recognize a body portion of a target human authorized for administration of a selected electric shock by electro-shock projectiles. The projectile includes a conductive electrode tip configured to administer the selected electric shock to the recognized body portion of the target human, the electric shock selected to inhibit voluntary movement by the target human. The projectile includes a guidance circuit configured to generate instructions directing the electro-shock projectile along a flight path toward the recognized body portion of the target human. The projectile includes a flight controller configured to operate a directional control surface in response to the generated instructions. The projectile includes a signal generator configured to output the selected electric shock to the conductive electrode tip and through tissue of the target human contacted by the conductive electrode tip.

Abstract: Described embodiments include a system and a method. A system includes a first ultrasound transmitter acoustically coupled to a conducting layer of a display surface and configured to deliver a first ultrasound wave to a selected delineated area. The first ultrasonic wave has parameters sufficient to induce a non-linear vibrational response in the conducting layer. A second ultrasound transmitter is acoustically coupled to the conducting layer and configured to deliver a second ultrasound wave to the selected delineated area. The second ultrasonic wave has parameters sufficient to induce a non-linear vibrational response in the conducting layer. A controller selects a delineated area in response to an indication of a touch to the display surface, and initiates delivery of the first and second ultrasonic waves. A convergence of the first and second ultrasonic waves at the selected delineated area produces a stress pattern perceivable or discernible by the human appendage.

Abstract: Described embodiments include a system, method, and apparatus. A system includes a package management system for operating a robotic vehicle configured to transport consumer items selected by a human shopper from a consumer shopping environment and placed in the robotic vehicle. The package management system includes circuitry for recognizing an individual human shopper placing a consumer item in the robotic vehicle. The package management system includes circuitry for routing the robotic vehicle along a path following the recognized individual human shopper through the consumer shopping environment. The package management system includes circuitry for suspending the shopper-following movement of the robotic vehicle in response to suspension criteria. The package management system includes circuitry for resuming the shopper-following movement of the robotic vehicle in response to resumption criteria.

Abstract: A horizontal multilayer junction-edge field emitter includes a plurality of vertically-stacked multilayer structures separated by isolation layers. Each multilayer structure is configured to produce a 2-dimensional electron gas at a junction between two layers within the structure. The emitter also includes an exposed surface intersecting the 2-dimensional electron gas of each of the plurality of vertically-stacked multilayer structures to form a plurality of effectively one-dimensional horizontal line sources of electron emission.
