  • Patent number: 5654867
    Abstract: An electrical impulse-type immobilization weapon having both the capability for launching two tethered electrodes at a remote target, as well as for contacting, by means of two spaced apart contacts, a target located immediately adjacent the weapon. Furthermore, the present invention provides a novel manner for indicating whether or not launched projectiles have indeed impacted the target and have enabled the target to be subjected to an electrical impulse by establishing a current between the two projectile electrodes on the target surface. Furthermore, the present invention provides a sighting capability to increase the accuracy of target impact at a remote location. The sighting capability is provided herein by a pair of solid state laser devices mounted mechanically to the immobilization weapon in a manner which provides an accurate indication of the likely impact points for the remotely launched projectiles on a remote target.

  • Patent number: 4902465
    Abstract: A cleated dust control mat having a rubber or rubber-like backing in which the longitudinal edges of the rubber-like backing projecting outward from the pile surface thereon is smooth and thicker than the body of the rubber or rubber-like backing material. The thicker edges are produced by using a perforated silicone pad which is narrower than the desired width and has beveled edges thereon to provide a curved transition therein between the body and the longitudinal edges of the backing material.
