    摘要: When a person intending to use a gun is a safety risk, the authorities (e.g., the police) should be notified and a gun held by that person should be locked to prevent its firing. Apparatus for doing just that comprises an electronic testing device for determining an emotional state and/or the competency of a person intending to use a gun and for producing a signal when the emotional state and/or competency of the person is not considered appropriate or adequate for a safe and proper use of a gun. An electronic warning device, coupled to said testing device, can be provided to alert the authorities that the person intending to use a gun is at risk of using a gun in an unsafe manner.

    摘要: Apparatus for locking and unlocking a gun to control its use includes a gun lock device that selects between two operative states: a locked state which prevents the gun from firing and an unlocked state which enables gun firing. An electronic imaging device which is mounted on the gun produces digital images of the area at which the gun is aimed. Electronic shooting protection apparatus, which is coupled to the gun lock device and to the electronic imaging device, produces a gun control signal that selects locked state when the gun is aimed a protected person or object. The shooting protection apparatus comprises: (1) a first data memory, for storing digital images protected person and/or objects; (2) a second data memory for storing digital images of persons or objects viewed in the area at which the gun is aimed; and (3) a digital logic device, coupled to the first and second data memories, for comparing the digital images stored in the first data memory with digital images stored in the second data memory and for producing a gun control signal to set the gun lock device in the locked state when a digital image of a viewed person or object is substantially the same as a protected person or object.

    摘要: A gun locking and unlocking device, which may be configured to be disposed adjacent the trigger of a gun to alternatively prevent or enable firing, includes a data receiver, a data memory and a logic device for determining whether data received by the receiver is the same, or substantially the same, as data stored in the data memory. One or more separate electronic gun keys are provided to transmit gun lock/unlock data to the data receiver of the gun lock device. The logic device responds to a gun control signal transmitted by one of the gun key devices with priority over a gun control signal transmitted by another gun key device. The logic device automatically locks the gun when it is located in a proscribed area, such as within a school zone or outside a prescribed protected area. The logic device also locks the gun when the gun user is intoxicated or acting in an irrational manner. Once locked, the user must set a timer which allows the gun to be unlocked only after a specified “wait” time. In case of emergency, when the gun must be available for immediate use, the user can override the safety features and unlock the gun by speaking a “secret word” or phrase.

    摘要: A gun trigger-locking device which is configured to be manually installed on a gun with a trigger-blocking member disposed behind the trigger to prevent the gun from being fired. The device includes a data receiver, a data memory and a logic device for determining whether data received by the receiver is the same as data stored in the memory. If a data match is indicated, the logic device causes an electromagnetic device to move a locking member to an unlocked position, permitting the trigger-blocking member to be unlocked so the gun can be fired. A separate electronic key is provided to transmit unlock data to the data receiver of the trigger-locking device. This unlock data includes biologic data identifying the gun owner or some other person who is licensed or otherwise authorized to fire the gun. The trigger-locking device includes means for detecting when the device has been tampered with or removed from the gun, and transmitting an alert signal to the electronic key, for relaying to a central station.

    摘要: A battery-powered trigger-locking device, which is configured to be disposed on a gun with a trigger for firing, includes a data receiver, a data memory and a logic device for determining whether data received by the receiver is the same, or substantially the same, as data stored in the memory. If a data match is indicated, the logic device causes an electromagnetic device to move a trigger-locking member to an unlocked position, permitting the gun to be fired. A separate electronic gun key is provided to transmit gun unlock data to the data receiver of the trigger-locking device. This gun unlock data may be a password, a long pseudo-random number or biologic data identifying the gun owner or some other person who is licensed or otherwise authorized to fire the gun.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for treating fuel to temporarily reduce its combustibility, and thereafter restore its combustibility. As used in an aircraft, the method comprises the following steps: (a) treating aircraft engine fuel to substantially reduce its combustibility in open air; (b) carrying the treated fuel in a fuel tank of an aircraft; (c) increasing the combustibility of a portion of the treated fuel, as needed by the aircraft engine; and (d) supplying the increased restored combustibility fuel to the aircraft engine. Using this method, the preponderance of the fuel on board the aircraft is maintained at low combustibility for safety.

    摘要: A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft comprises (1) a fuselage having a front end, a rear end and two lateral sides, the fuselage defining a substantially horizontal central longitudinal axis of the aircraft; (2) an aircraft tail arranged at the rear end of the fuselage and including a rudder and an elevator on each side of the fuselage with movable surfaces for controlling the aircraft; and (3) a wing on each side of the fuselage having a front edge, a trailing edge and an upper surface extending from the front edge to the trailing edge. According to the invention, means are provided for increasing the speed of an airstream flowing over the upper surface of each wing, and an air deflector is disposed on each side of the fuselage between the trailing edge of each wing and the aircraft tail. These deflectors each have a deflection surface to deflect downward the airstream flowing over the upper surface of the wing to act as a “brake” to the forward motion of the aircraft and to provide additional lift so that the aircraft may hover.
