  • Publication number: 20070183115
    Abstract: An apparatus for administering an incapacitating electric shock to a person is provided, which comprises a portable power source, at least one pair of electrodes operatively associated with the power source and that are configured to deliver an electric shock to the person's body, a locking mechanism configured to secure the electrodes at a desired position on said person's body and a remote control capable of generating and transmitting a signal to the power source that triggers the electric shock. The apparatus is operable such that the remote control may trigger an electric shock in a single power source, or in a plurality of power sources.

  • Publication number: 20070125816
    Abstract: THE LOCKING MECHANISM FOR USE WITH RATCHET OR COG STRAP: Is used by pulling the strap through the locking mechanism until tight. To release the locked strap a key is required. The mechanism and strap can be made to required size. The mechanism and strap can be made from many different types of material, metal, PVC etc.

  • Publication number: 20070098752
    Abstract: A quickly dissolving carrier granule made up of wood fibers, mineral filler, and starch-based or dextrin-based adhesive binder. The wood fibers in these granules are preferably wood fibers ranging from about 10 microns to about 2 mm in length. Typically, at least about 35 weight-% of the fibers are retained on a 50-Mesh U.S. Sieve Series screen. The wood fibers in this invention are derived from sources that are substantially free of resins such as urea-formaldehyde resin and of diphenylmethane diisocyanate resin. Typical binders are soluble dextrin binders or a viscous corn starch, wheat starch, rice starch, tapioca starch, potato starch, or sago starch binders. The granules have a Resistance to Attrition of at least 90%. Also disclosed is a method of making such granules.

  • Publication number: 20060244613
    Abstract: Remote Controled Elecroshock Locking Bracelet Stun Device, worn around the wrist or ankle, used for subduing a person by administering an electric shock. This is a non-lethal means of restraining a prisoner. It is not intended to kill. It is a weapon to be used by correctional officers, police officers, CIA, FBI, military personnel, court room prisoner control officers. This is not a device to be sold to the general public. This is not meant to cause permanent damage to a person, only to temporarily stun a person with electrical current at levals less than fatal, but enough to incapacitate them.

  • Publication number: 20060121075
    Abstract: Method for manufacturing carrier granules. The method forms a mixture comprising fibers, mineral filler, and binder. The mixture contains 32-48 weight-% wood fibers having a bulk density of less than 20 pounds per cubic foot, at least 35 weight-% of which fibers are retained on a 50-Mesh U.S. Sieve Series screen. The fibers have a moisture content of less than 15 weight-%. The mixture also contains 52-65 weight-% mineral filler having a moisture content of less than 12 weight-%. In addition, the mixture contains 3-7 weight-% binder. The mixture is agglomerated by conditioning and agglomerating it in a pin mixer to form small particles followed by agglomerating it in a disc or pan pelletizer to form substantially spherical granules. The method then dries the granules to a moisture content of less than about 5 weight-%, and screens the granules to select granules that pass through a 10-Mesh U.S. Pat. No. Sieve Series screen but are retained on a 40-Mesh U.S. Pat. No. Sieve Series screen.

  • Publication number: 20050220885
    Abstract: Method for manufacturing carrier granules. The method forms a mixture comprising fibers, mineral filler, and binder. The mixture contains 32-45 weight-% cellulose fibers having a bulk density of less than 20 pounds per cubic foot, at least 35 weight-% of which fibers are retained on a 50-Mesh U.S. Sieve Series screen. The fibers have a moisture content of less than 15 weight-%. The mixture also contains 53-65 weight-% mineral filler having a moisture content of less than 12 weight-% and a bulk density of less than 65 pounds per cubic foot. In addition, the mixture contains 3-7 weight-% binder. The mixture is agglomerated by conditioning and agglomerating it in a pin mixer to form small particles followed by agglomerating it in a disc or pan pelletizer to form substantially spherical granules. The method then dries the granules to a moisture content of less than about 5 weight-%, and screens the granules to select granules that pass through a 10-Mesh U.S. Sieve Series screen but are retained on a 40-Mesh U.S.
