  • Publication number: 20230300706
    Abstract: Multiple mobile cellular network (MCN) communication systems can be networked together to form a network of MCN communication systems (NOM). Each MCN communication system within the NOM can operate as an independent cellular network to provide communications between user equipment within a covered area. When a UE in one MCN of the NOM moves into a different MCN of the NOM, the corresponding MCN communication systems can handover the UE. The UE can also be handed over between MCN communication systems when the MCN communication systems move.

  • Patent number: 11614210
    Abstract: A lighting system for an electrical device includes one or more light sources coupled to an electrical outlet. The one or more light sources are configured to receive power from a power supply and configured to generate output light on at least one side edge of the electrical device. The lighting system includes a controller communicatively coupled to the one or more light sources. The controller is configured to receive a signal from an auxiliary unit and control the one or more light sources to operate between an on-state and an off-state responsive to the signal from the auxiliary unit.

  • Publication number: 20170045338
    Abstract: A humanoid-shaped target for a conducted electrical weapon includes a target body having a three-dimensional shape that represents a corresponding portion of a human body. The target body is configured to receive and stop incoming projectiles from the conducted electrical weapon and to retain the incoming projectiles at least partially within an interior volume of the target body. The target body includes an electrically-conductive material configured to conduct an electric current provided by the conducted electrical weapon between the incoming projectiles when the incoming projectiles are retained at least partially within the interior volume of the target body. In some embodiments, the target body includes multiple target zones arranged adjacent to each other along an outer surface of the target body. The multiple target zones may have differing material properties (e.g., differing densities and/or differing electrical conductivities).

  • Publication number: 20130270772
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an archery target. The archery target includes a main target body defining an aperture and a target insert configured to fit within the aperture. The target insert has a first target surface and a second target surface. The first target surface defines a first target zone and a second target zone. The second target surface defines a third target zone and a fourth target zone. The target insert is configured to be selectively repositionable by a user to allow any one of the first target zone, the second target zone, the third target zone and the fourth target zone to be positioned in a primary target area of the archery target.

  • Patent number: 8333385
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a portable archery target. The portable archery target includes a main target body having a geometric shape. The geometric shape has a first side and a second side. The first side has a first target zone, while the second side has a second target zone that is separate and distinct from the first target zone. At least one of the first target zone and the second target zone has a first three-dimensional animal-simulating indicia. The present disclosure also relates to a method of manufacturing a portable archery target. The method includes adding a resin into a mold cavity that defines a geometric shape of the portable archery target. The mold cavity has a first surface that defines a first target zone and a second surface that defines a second target zone. At least the first surface has a contour that provides a three-dimensional animal-simulating target. The method also includes closing the mold cavity to form a foam body and removing the foam body from the mold cavity.
