Publication number: 20170370980Abstract: A method of testing an electric discharge stun device includes the steps of identifying a stun device to be tested and absorbing a discharge from the stun device into a tester. The discharge is characterized by a discharge characteristic that is then compared automatically to information such as (a) a previous corresponding characteristic associated with a previous discharge of the stun device or (b) a corresponding characteristic associated with a prior discharge of at least one other stun device. The characteristic can be a waveform, a peak voltage, duration, current, joule, and temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2017Publication date: December 28, 2017Applicant: Aegis Industries, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Burns, Bruno D.V. Marino, Kenneth J. Stethem

Patent number: 9514493Abstract: A system of systems to monitor data for carbon flux, for example, at scales capable of managing regional net carbon flux and pricing carbon financial instruments is disclosed. The system of systems can monitor carbon flux in forests, soils, agricultural areas, body of waters, flue gases, and the like. The system includes a means to identify and quantify sources of carbon based on simultaneous measurement of isotopologues of carbon dioxide, for example, industrial, agricultural or natural sources, offering integration of same in time and space. Carbon standards are employed at multiple scales to ensure harmonization of data and carbon financial instruments.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2013Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: PLANETARY EMISSIONS MANAGEMENT, INC.Inventor: Bruno D.

Patent number: 9152994Abstract: A closed end financial instrument for the monetization of greenhouse gases is disclosed. The closed end security has unique features providing for the securitization of greenhouse gas reductions (e.g., avoidance, sequestration, transformation) on global and sub-global scales. A universal carbon index based on the computed value for metric tons fossil fuel derived CO2 from measurements of the carbon 14 isotope, directly linked to fossil fuel emissions, is also disclosed. The 14C based universal index provides a unique and novel market mechanism to value and track fossil fuel carbon across all reduction genres and measurement platforms. Sub-global indexes for 14C and other GHGs representing partial carbon budgets for specific regions are accounted for within the global budget. The global and sub-global GHG indexes may operate in real time across all GHG currency transactions constituting a live GHG trading regime.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2011Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Planetary Emissions Management, Inc.Inventor: Bruno D. V. Marino

Publication number: 20130003247Abstract: Incapacitation of a mammalian subject results from the application of a pulsed, low-power electric waveform. The waveform is applied to the subject at a frequency and over a time period sufficient to induce involuntary muscular contraction. Additionally, the contraction causes limited lactic acid production and is non- or minimally-injurious to the subject's tissues. A device utilizing such a waveform is designed to control or otherwise subdue an individual.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2012Publication date: January 3, 2013Inventors: Kenneth J. Stethem, Casey Hathcock, Bruno D.V. Marino, Anita Mehta, Robert Randolph Bernard, James Lee, Viet Thinh Pho
