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 wearable audio device may comprise a first directional loudspeaker having a first directionality, a second directional loudspeaker having a second directionality different from the first directionality, a communication interface configured to receive a communication audio signal, and a processor configured to operatively control the first directional loudspeaker, the second directional loudspeaker, and the communication interface. The processor may be configured to perform operations comprising detecting a relative mount position of wearable communication device, selecting a proximal loudspeaker to emit the communication audio signal in accordance with the relative mount position, wherein the proximal loudspeaker comprises one of the first directional loudspeaker and the second directional loudspeaker; and transferring the communication audio signal from the communication interface to the proximal loudspeaker in accordance with the selecting.

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: A conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) comprises one or more mechanisms for receiving, aligning, and maintaining a position of a magazine within a bay of the CEW. Bias spring and datums may be used to align the magazine to be coupled to the CEW, wherein bias springs are configured to apply pressure to push the magazine to interact with datums to align the magazine. A spring and ramp mechanism may be used to maintain a position of the magazine coupled to the bay of the CEW. Respective grades of a locking ramp and a release ramp are used to lock a spring in place when a magazine is coupled to the bay of the CEW.

Abstract: A payload conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) may include a housing configured to house at least a plurality of electrodes and a signal generator. The payload CEW may be removably inserted into a bay of a launcher. The launcher may be mounted on a vehicle. The plurality of electrodes may be configured to be launched from the housing. The housing may be configured to be launched from the bay of the launcher simultaneously with or after the plurality of electrodes are launched. The signal generator may be configured to transmit a stimulus signal through the plurality of electrodes. The signal generator may be configured to transmit the stimulus signal before, during, and/or after the housing is launched.

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 helmet with an adjustable fit system is disclosed herein. The helmet includes a protective shell and the adjustable fit system. The adjustable fit system is coupled to an positioned at least partially within the protective shell. The adjustable fit system includes a frame having two cord attachment points, a cord coupled to the two cord attachment points of the frame, and a tension device releasably coupled to the cord between the two attachment points. The tensioning device is configured to adjust a distance between the two attachment points of the frame via movement of the tensioning device relative to the cord to adjust a size of the adjustable fit system. The cord may pass through the tensioning device to form a first portion between each cord attachment point and the tensioning device, and a looped second portion extending from the tensioning device away from the first portion.
