  • Publication number: 20250324016
    Abstract: A recording system may comprise a primary recording device and an auxiliary recording device. A connecting cable may be used to couple the primary recording device to the auxiliary recording device. The connecting cable may be configured to provide electrical power and/or data transmission between the primary recording device and the auxiliary recording device. The connecting cable may be configured to allow the primary recording device to provide electrical power and transmit data instructions to the auxiliary recording device. The connecting cable may be configured to allow the auxiliary recording device to transmit raw data to the primary recording device, via an optical fiber channel. The connecting cable may comprise a coiled portion. The coiled portion may be configured to translate from a first position to a second position.

  • Publication number: 20250242951
    Abstract: A drone pod may receive, stow, and launch a drone. The drone pod may include a housing, a canopy movably coupled to the housing, a platform movably coupled to the housing, and a drone bay. The drone pod may be configured to move the canopy to expose the drone bay and raise the platform relative to a floor of the drone bay to receive the drone, lower the platform toward the floor of the drone bay and move the canopy to enclose the drone bay to stow the drone, move the canopy to expose the drone bay and raise the platform relative to the floor of the drone bay to launch the drone. The drone pod may be mounted on a vehicle. A system may include a drone pod and a drone, wherein the drone pod is configured to receive, stow, and launch the drone.

  • Patent number: 12298109
    Abstract: A warning system for a conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) may be configured to alert a target that deployment of the CEW may be imminent. The warning system may include a visual output system and an audio output system. The visual output system may be configured to output a visual warning. The audio output system may be configured to output an audio warning. The visual output system and the audio output system may be activated in response to a control interface of the CEW being operated to an active mode. The visual output system and the audio output system may be deactivated, or not activated, in response to the control interface being operated to a safety mode.

  • Patent number: 12264892
    Abstract: An electrical weapon may include a shaft, an arm, first electrode, and a second electrode. The arm may be pivotably coupled to the shaft and the first electrode may be coupled to the arm such that a position of the electrode changes in accordance with a change in position of the arm. The electrical weapon may be an electrified baton. The electrical weapon may further include a second arm pivotably coupled to the shaft. The second electrode may be coupled to the second arm. The electrical weapon may enable a stimulus signal to be applied via the electrodes at a distance from a user of the electrical weapon, thus improving safety of the user. An electrode may include an electrode array comprising a plurality of conductors and a stimulus signal may be conducted between pairs of the conductors via ionization of air between the conductors.
