Abstract: A non-lethal and non-destructive electromagnetic personnel interdiction control stun type weapon system and method utilizes beamed radio frequency energy in a frequency range and modulated to impose a Lorentz force on the vestibular system or sensory cells of a remote human subject sufficient to disrupt the mechanical transduction process and/or the chemical engine by which sound, position and other sensory input are converted to messages by nerve cells and processed by the brain to produce complete disorientation, confusion, and incapacitation sufficient to temporarily render the subject powerless to resist arrest or subjugation. Removal of the electromagnetic energy leaves the nerve cells and surrounding tissues with no damage and second order effects of severe motion sickness and psychological effects of helplessness remains until the subject's body chemistry returns to normal.

Abstract: An electromagnetic personnel interdiction control (EPIC) non-destructive stun type weapon system and method utilizes beamed RF energy (Lorentz Force) to disrupt the normal mechanical transduction process and/or the chemical engine by which sound, position and other sensory input are converted to messages by nerve cells and processed by the brain to produce complete disorientation, confusion, and temporary incapacitation sufficient to temporarily and remotely render a human powerless to resist arrest or subjugation. Removal of the RF electromagnetic energy will leave the nerve cells and surrounding tissues with no damage and the second order effects of severe motion sickness and the psychological effects of “helplessness” remains until the body chemistry returns to normal.

Abstract: A passive SAW strain sensor for remotely sensing strain within a surface has a receiving SAW correlator with a signal input interdigitated transducer and a plurality of adjacent successive spaced interdigitated output transducers on a piezoelectric substrate, and a transmitting SAW correlator having a plurality of adjacent successive spaced interdigitated output transducers and a signal output interdigitated transducer on a piezoelectric substrate. The transmitting SAW correlator is affixed to or embedded in the surface such that its substrate will be stressed when the surface is strained and the receiving SAW correlator is not affixed to or embedded in the surface. The output transducers of the receiving SAW correlator and the transmitting SAW correlator are spatially placed to define a unique frequency of sensitivity, and their outputs are coupled together.
