Abstract

A multi sensor detection and disabling lock system includes detector cases for holding interchangeable detectors that sample for chemical, biological and radiological compounds, agents and elements, with each detector case disposed in or upon the monitored product whereupon light alarm indicators (color coded) on the detector case light up when a specific compound or agent is detected whereupon the detector case transmits detection information to a monitoring computer terminal and transmits a signal to a lock disabler engaged to the product to lock or disable the product'"'"'s lock thereby preventing untrained, unauthorized and unequipped individual'"'"'s from gaining access and entry to the product, and also preventing further contamination of the area. An authorized individual resets the detection system, and the system'"'"'s power source is electrical, battery or computer generated. In addition, the detection system can be interconnected to surveillance towers scanning detector cases disposed at seaport docks, freight depots and rail terminals for monitoring containers being prepared for shipment or sitting on docks for long periods of time.

Claims

1. A stall-to-stop and lock disabling system for slowing and stopping a vehicle and locking passengers inside the vehicle wherein the vehicle includes a transceiver, a stall-to-stop system and a lock disabling system that are interconnected to the electromotive system and the locking mechanism of the vehicle, comprising:

monitoring equipment located at a determinate monitoring site;

at least one cell phone tower interconnected to the monitoring equipment for sending signals thereto and receiving signals therefrom;

at least one GPS satellite capable of sending signals to the monitoring equipment and receiving signals from the monitoring equipment;

the GPS satellite capable of two-way signal communication with the transceiver on the vehicle; and

whereupon a distress signal sent by a portable communication device to the cell phone tower causes a signal to be sent to the monitoring equipment which then communicates with the GPS satellite so that the GPS satellite can locate and communicate with the transceiver on the vehicle regarding specifics of the distress event parameters so that the monitoring equipment and the cell phone tower can exchange signals whereby the cell phone tower transmits to the transceiver so that the transceiver can execute commands that actuate the stall-to-stop system and the lock disabling system for stopping the vehicle and locking the vehicle so that anyone inside the vehicle remains in the vehicle.

2. The stall-to-stop and lock disabling system of claim 1 wherein the portable communication device is a cell phone.

3. The stall-to-stop and lock disabling system of claim 2 wherein the portable communication device is a laptop computer.

4. The stall-to-stop and lock disabling system of claim 3 wherein the vehicle is an airplane.

5. The stall-to-stop and lock disabling system of claim 4 wherein the vehicle is a railway train.

6. The stall-to-stop and lock disabling system of claim 5 wherein the vehicle is a ship.

7. A stall-to-stop and lock disabling system for slowing and stopping a vehicle and locking passengers inside the vehicle wherein the vehicle includes a transceiver, a stall-to-stop system and a lock disabling system that are interconnected to the electromotive system and the locking mechanism of the vehicle, comprising:

monitoring equipment located at a determinate monitoring site;

at least one GPS satellite capable of sending and receiving signals to and from the monitoring equipment and the transceiver of the vehicle;

the GPS satellite capable of two-way signal communication with the transceiver of the vehicle; and

whereupon a distress signal sent from a portable telecommunication device to the GPS satellite causes a signal to be sent to the monitoring equipment followed by the GPS satellite locating and communicating with the transceiver of the vehicle for exchanging information on the problem situation, location, and speed of the vehicle resulting in the monitoring equipment transmitting a signal to the GPS satellite and the GPS satellite communicating with the transceiver of the vehicle for executing commands that actuate the stall-to-stop system and the lock disabling system for stopping the vehicle and locking the vehicle so that anyone inside the vehicle must remain inside the vehicle.

8. The stall-to-stop and lock disabling system of claim 7 wherein the portable communication device is a cell phone.

9. The stall-to-stop and lock disabling system of claim 8 wherein the portable communication device is a laptop computer.

10. The stall-to-stop and lock disabling system of claim 9 wherein the portable communication device is a desktop PC.
