  • Integrated replaceable energy storage and coolant module
    Patent number: 7889499
    Abstract: There is disclosed a self-contained electronic apparatus containing at least some power-dissipating components which may require cooling. The self-contained electronic apparatus may also include a removable and replaceable energy storage module. The removable and replaceable energy storage module may include a power element to provide electrical energy for the self-contained electronic apparatus and a cooling element to cool at least a portion of the power dissipating components.

  • Solid-state non-lethal directed energy weapon
    Patent number: 7784390
    Abstract: There is disclosed a solid state non-lethal directed energy weapon. The non-lethal weapon may include a solid-state source to generate a high-power millimeter-wave initial wavefront, a main reflector, and a sub-reflector to reflect the initial wavefront to the main reflector. The main reflector may direct the reflected wavefront in a bore-sighted direction toward a target. The wavefront directed by the main reflector may have a power density selected to deliver a non-lethal deterring effect on the target.

  • Weapon having lethal and non-lethal directed energy portions
    Patent number: 7730819
    Abstract: A portable weapon comprises a non-lethal portion and a lethal portion. The lethal portion may comprise a rifle, and the non-lethal portion may comprise a millimeter-wave directed energy weapon. The non-lethal portion may comprise a kit to add non-lethal capability to a lethal weapon. The non-lethal portion may comprise an output antenna to generate a high-power millimeter-wave initial wavefront, a main reflector, and a sub-reflector to reflect the initial wavefront to the main reflector. The main reflector may direct the reflected wavefront in a bore-sighted direction toward a target. The wavefront directed by the main reflector may have a power density selected to deliver a non-lethal deterring effect on the target. In some embodiments, the non-lethal portion may include a replaceable energy-storage module.
