Abstract
A non-lethal electronic defense device comprising one or more effects such as light, sonic, ultrasonic, infrasonic, chemical, electrical, or mechanical devices capable of causing intense sensations of disorientation, distress, incapacitation, and/or pain for the purpose of protecting a public or private space from an intruder or attacker exhibiting an intent to cause harm to physical inhabitants or destruction of property therein.
Claims25
A sound deterrence system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors geographically spaced apart for monitoring threats and generating signals indicating a location of a threat;
- a plurality of sound deterrence subsystems, at least one of which is located in a vicinity of each of said geographically spaced apart sensor locations;
- at least one sonic emitter in each of said plurality of sound deterrence subsystems;
- a controller configured to communicate a driver signal to individual ones of each of said plurality of sound deterrence subsystems based upon receipt of a threat signal from one or more of said plurality of sensors;
- and
- an algorithm executing on said controller for generating the driver signal, the algorithm taking a random sample of one or more frequencies from within a frequency domain range, the algorithm taking a random sample of a time interval from within a time domain range, and the algorithm continuously generating and regenerating the driver signal at said random samples of time intervals with said random samples of one or more frequencies.
