Building intruder defensive shield
First Claim
1. A building intruder defensive system comprising:
- a shield module configured to be implemented within a building, the shield module includinga tank disposed within the building configured to hold pressurized fluid, the tank including a plurality of walls and an inlet configured to receive the fluid, the inlet being disposed only partially in one of the plurality of walls,a nozzle disposed within the building and configured to spray the fluid within a zone in the building,a zone valve connected to the tank and the nozzle, the zone valve being configured to regulate flow of the pressurized fluid from the tank to the nozzle,a sensing device configured to sense an initial presence of an intruder, and to output a signal indicating the initial presence of the intruder, anda processor programmed to receive the signal from the sensing device as indicating the initial presence of the intruder, to control the zone valve to cause the zone valve to open and close so as to spray the pressurized fluid through the nozzle, directly upon activation of the sensing device when the sensor senses the initial presence of the intruder, andto communicate with at least one remote device to deliver system information to at least one of law enforcement and a building occupant.

Abstract
A building intruder defensive system includes a shield module including a tank configured to hold pressurized fluid, a nozzle, and a zone valve connected to the tank and the nozzle, the zone valve being configured to regulate flow of the pressurized fluid from the tank to the nozzle, a sensing device configured to sense presence of an intruder, and to output a signal indicating the presence of the intruder, and a processor programmed to receive the signal from the sensing device as indicating the presence of the intruder, to control the zone valve to cause the zone to open and close so as to spray the pressurized fluid through the nozzle, and to communicate with at least one remote device to deliver system information to at least one of law enforcement and a building occupant.

10. A building intruder defensive system comprising:
-
a shield module configured to be implemented within a building, the shield module including a tank disposed within the building and configured to hold pressurized fluid, the tank including a plurality of walls and an inlet configured to receive the fluid, the inlet being disposed only partially in one of the plurality of walls, a first nozzle disposed within the building and configured to spray the fluid within a first zone in the building, a second nozzle disposed within the building and configured to spray the fluid within a second zone in the building, a zone valve connected to the tank and the first and second nozzles, the zone valve being configured to regulate flow of the pressurized fluid from the tank to at least one of the first and second nozzles, a sensing device configured to sense an initial presence of an intruder, and to output a signal indicating the initial presence of the intruder, and a processor programmed to receive the signal from the sensing device as indicating the initial presence of the intruder, to control the zone valve to cause the zone valve to open and close so as to spray the pressurized fluid through the at least one of the first and second nozzles, directly upon activation of the sensing device, when the sensor senses the initial presence of the intruder.
