Patent number: 11466955Abstract: A portable camera may be activated in response to the activity of a firearm. Furthermore, an individual who discharged a firearm may be identified. Furthermore, information related to the firing of a firearm may be recorded, assessed, identified and transmitted. Furthermore, the status of an implement at a mount may be monitored. Furthermore, a charging device for delivering electrical power to components of a firearm may be used. A communications channel may be established between a firearm telematics sensor and a video camera, optionally by means of intermediary devices. A communications channel may be established between a mount (e.g., holster) telematics device and local and/or remote monitoring service components, optionally by means of intermediary devices. When the telematics sensor detects that its associated firearm has been removed from a holster, is in motion, or is being discharged, the telematics sensor may signal the video camera to initiate recording.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2021Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Yardarm Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Robert J. Stewart, David Glowacki, James Schaff, Kyle Howell, John Wade, Tom Tooley, Paul Hammond

Publication number: 20160172876Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, methods, and machine readable media for using a charging device for delivering electrical power to components of a firearm. The charging device may be shaped to resemble an ammunition magazine. This form facilitates a simple and secure connection to the firearm by repurposing magazine attachment mechanisms already present on or within the firearm. The charging device may be inserted into the firearm while it is not in use, providing power to the firearm's electronics and/or batteries thereof. The charging unit is then removed, leaving the firearm mechanically unchanged and ready for normal operation and use.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2015Publication date: June 16, 2016Inventors: Robert J.
