Bullet dodging armor

IBM filed (and shorty after withdrew) a patent on a Matrix-style bullet-dodging armor:

The patent proposes a system where an external device monitors the area for incoming projectiles. If it detects a projectile headed near a person hooked into the system it can either shock their muscles in order to move their body a particular way to dodge the bullet, Neo style, or it could simply make the intended target collapse.
