Patent number: 11814190Abstract: A projectile cartridge that can be removably attached to a flying vehicle is disclosed. A system can include a first flying vehicle, a projectile attachment mechanism configured with the first flying vehicle, a projectile cartridge that contains a projectile, the projectile cartridge being removably attachable to the projectile attachment mechanism, a weight attached to the projectile, the weight being configured in a releasable configuration in the projectile cartridge and a drawstring configured with the projectile. After firing the projectile, when tension is applied to the drawstring as the projectile approaches or envelops a second flying vehicle, the tension can cause the drawstring to close the projectile down to secure the second flying vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2023Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Fortem Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Robert Edmund Gooch, Devin Donald Lebaron, Adam Eugene Robertson

Patent number: 11597517Abstract: A projectile component that can be removably attached to a flying vehicle is disclosed. The projectile component includes a net configured in the projectile component, a receiving cavity configured in the projectile component, and a weight attached to the net via a string. The weight can be configured in the receiving cavity in preparation for firing the net from the projectile component. In order to entangle a target flying vehicle in the net, a cocklebur associated with the weight is included. Upon firing the net from the projectile component, and upon the net engaging with a target device, the cocklebur becomes entangled with the net to secure the target flying vehicle. A drawstring structure associated with the net can also be used to ensure that the net envelops and captures the target flying vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Fortem Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Robert Edmund Gooch, Devin Donald Lebaron, Adam Eugene Robertson

Patent number: 11001381Abstract: A projectile module is attached to a gun component which operates as a system to launch a projectile at a flying device. The gun component is configured to be removably and electro-mechanically attached to a flying vehicle. A cylindrical gas valve is part of the gun component and has a safety component configured on an exterior surface of the cylindrical gas valve to enable the gun component only to attach to the flying vehicle when the projectile module is locked into position. A splitter component configured on the gun component adjacent to the cylindrical gas valve and has an output opening for gas flow. The projectile module is removable and includes weights attached to a projectile, wherein the weights are positioned in channels on the projectile module. The projectile is fired when gas flow is initiated from a reservoir the cylindrical gas valve and splitter component to the channels containing the weights.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2020Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: FORTEM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Devin Donald Lebaron, David Earl James, Kendall James Fowkes, Jon Erik Knabenschuh, Eric James Fowkes, Justin Craig Huntington

Patent number: 9562393Abstract: A human-powered borehole drill bridges the gap between large drilling rigs and the other less-effective manual methods. Intended mainly for developing countries, the design is affordable and also extremely simple, as very little product support or spare parts will be needed. The drill uses conventional drill pipe and drill bits allowing the drill system to mimic more conventional methods of drilling and existing hardware to maintain uniformity in drilling and easier access to more drilling products.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2013Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Inventors: John Renouard, Sabin Gautam, Eric Alli Janmohamed, Kenneth Roy Langley, Devin Donald LeBaron, James Edward Stacey, Nathan Curtis Toone
