  • Publication number: 20060234669
    Abstract: A mobile device with a manually operated power source which generates power sufficient to operate the device when shaken by a user. A cable connected between the power source and mobile device carries the generated power from the power source to the mobile device such that the mobile device can be powered. The cable has a length sufficient to enable a user to hold the mobile device in one hand and the power source in the other hand such that the mobile device can be held stationary and used while the power source is simultaneously shaken. The mobile device and power source are preferably arranged such that they can be mechanically coupled together to form a single unit.

  • Publication number: 20050279205
    Abstract: A non-lethal laser-based disorientation system comprises a laser light source which generates visible laser light at one or more predetermined wavelengths. When directed by an operator at an opponent whose vision is unprotected, the light disorients and/or dazzles the opponent. The system also includes an eye protection system which substantially blocks light at the predetermined wavelengths, while being substantially transparent to visible light at other wavelengths. The light source is arranged such that the fluence of the generated light does not cause permanent damage to the opponent's eyes. The generated laser light is scanned and/or diverged, to cover a large field of view, as well as to limit the light's fluence. The eye protection system preferably comprises goggles worn by an operator and associated personnel, the lenses of which have an optical coating designed to block the predetermined wavelengths while being substantially transparent to visible light at other wavelengths.
