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.

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.

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.

Abstract: A display device is operable to be superimposed with at least one region of a doll and to generate an interactive virtual representation thereof. The virtual representation may be an animated simulation of the overlaid region of the doll such that it appears that the display device is a virtual window through which the doll is being viewed.

Abstract: Various embodiments of an eyeglass and eyeglass system are provided that can maintain the geometric and optical quality of a lens supported by the eyeglass. The eyeglass can comprise a frame, a support member carried by the frame, and a lens mounting area or groove extending at least partially along at least one of the frame and the support member. The support member can be pivoted, moved, or deflected relative to the frame between a retaining position and an open position. In the open position, the lens can be seated within the lens mounting area. In the retaining position, the support member and the frame retain the lens without exerting deformative forces on the lens. Accordingly, the as-molded geometric and optical qualities of the lens can be preserved.
