Publication number: 20240085156Abstract: A bumper for preventing a forward portion of an electrode from penetrating a target comprises a rearward portion and an expandable portion. The rearward portion is configured to couple the bumper to a forward portion of an electrode. The expandable portion may comprise a plurality of members. The expandable portion is configured to transition from a collapsed state to an expanded state after being launched toward a target. The expanded state comprises a greater contact area than the contact area of the collapsed state. The greater contact area of the expanded state is configured to distribute a force of impact on the target to prevent penetration into the target. The transition from the collapsed state to the expanded state may be configured to increase a duration of impact with the target, thereby reducing a force of impact on the target to prevent penetration into the target.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Dubravko ZEKANOVIC, Oleg NEMTYSHKIN

Patent number: 11846493Abstract: A unitary cartridge for a conducted electrical weapon (CEW) may include a cartridge body that stores an electrode, a piston, a propulsion module, and a propulsion module contact. To launch the electrode from the cartridge body, a signal may be sent from the CEW through a conductor disposed within the propulsion module. The signal may be configured to heat up the conductor and ignite a pyrotechnic material in the propulsion module to create a rapidly expanding gas. The rapidly expanding gas may move the piston to propel the electrode from the cartridge body and toward a target. A frangible cap may be disposed at one end of the cartridge body to retain the electrode in the cartridge body prior to launch.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Axon Enterprise, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Smith, Magne Nerheim, Oleg Nemtyshkin, Dubravko Zekanovic

Patent number: 7950176Abstract: A handheld multiple-charge weapon for remote impact on a target with an electric current includes a housing including a launch power supply, a power source, a voltage converter, and a high voltage generator and triggered by a firing element. A clip on the housing carries a plurality of unitary cartridges. Each of said cartridges carries an electrode for contact action on the target and delivering the electric current thereto. The cartridge includes a wire connected to an electrode launched from each of at least two of said cartridges by the power source toward the target when the firing element is actuated in a firing position. The clip moves two cartridges to the firing position and after the firing element is actuated extracts the cartridges and associated wires. The wires are connected to the high voltage generator subsequent to the firing element being actuated after which the cycle of firing and extraction of spent cartridges can be repeated multiple times in manual, semiautomatic or automatic mode.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2006Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Inventors: Oleg Nemtyshkin, Yury Ladyagin

Patent number: 7692915Abstract: An electroshock device with a more effective physiological impact uses Shaped Pulse technology and integrated STUN GUN/EMD technology to produce high-voltage pulse transformers, and is distinguished by the considerable visual effect of its demonstration release of electric discharge. In one embodiment, the device employs parameters of electric discharges having frequencies of 100-200 Hz with pulse energy of at least 0.1 J and a pulse duration up to 1000 milliseconds, which allows one to achieve the goal of stopping and capturing the target. In other embodiments, a series of impulses based on STUN GUN technology alternate with separate impulses based on EMD technology in a single, uninterrupted electric discharge by which the target-stopping and target-capturing mechanisms are attained.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2006Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Inventors: Oleg Nemtyshkin, Yury Ladyagin
