Abstract:

A suspect restraining device is disclosed that includes a device for extending and retracting a plastic-covered cable from one end of a housing and inserting the end of the cable in another end of the housing to selectably releaseably retain that end in the housing. When the free end of the cable is retained in the housing, the opposing end of the cable is restrained in its movement to only allow retraction of the cable into the housing, thus snugly fitting the cable around the torso of a suspect to be detained. The housing may be mounted in vertical position on the wall of a building or on the inside of a police wagon or corrections vehicle or on the outside of a police squad car.

Abstract:

A wildlife damage prevention device and system are provided. The wildlife damage prevention system includes a wildlife deterrence unit and one or more sensor devices associated with the wildlife deterrence unit. The wildlife deterrence unit includes an inflatable device and a base unit. The one or more sensor devices are separate from the wildlife deterrence unit and distributed around a geographic region a user intends to protect from wildlife. The one or more sensor devices sense motion, and upon sensing motion, send a signal to a receiver at the base unit. The receiver activates a blower and/or a light also at the base unit. The blower inflates the inflatable device, and the light illuminates the inflatable device.
