  • ELECTROMUSCULAR INCAPACITATION DEVICE AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20130003247
    Abstract: Incapacitation of a mammalian subject results from the application of a pulsed, low-power electric waveform. The waveform is applied to the subject at a frequency and over a time period sufficient to induce involuntary muscular contraction. Additionally, the contraction causes limited lactic acid production and is non- or minimally-injurious to the subject's tissues. A device utilizing such a waveform is designed to control or otherwise subdue an individual.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 10, 2012
    Publication date: January 3, 2013
    Inventors: Kenneth J. Stethem, Casey Hathcock, Bruno D.V. Marino, Anita Mehta, Robert Randolph Bernard, James Lee, Viet Thinh Pho
