Abstract: A neurostimulation system includes a plurality of stimulation electrodes, a plurality of recording electrodes, a waveform generator in electrical communication with the plurality of stimulation electrodes, and one or more computing devices in electrical communication with the plurality of recording electrodes and the waveform generator. The one or more computing devices cause the waveform generator to electrically excite the plurality of stimulation electrodes of the plurality of stimulation electrodes. After electrically exciting the stimulation electrodes, a neural signal is received from the plurality of recording electrodes. The neural signal is determined to be an electrically evoked compound action potential (“ECAP”) by determining one or more features of the neural signal. One or more stimulation parameters are determined based on one or more characteristics of the ECAP.

Abstract: A magazine for loading projectiles into a launch assembly by gravity feed. The magazine has a plurality blades radially extending from a central axis and defining a like plurality of compartments in an axially rotatable ring. The ring rests upon a stationary deck plate having a hole for gravity feed of the projectile into the launch assembly below. Projectiles having different fight characteristics are deposited into the compartments at a safe location, supported by the deck plate and the launch assembly with an associated device are transported to a hostile environment. A first projectile is launched by the launch assembly in a longitudinal direction. The launch assembly is retracted, automatically indexing the rotatable ring and dropping the next projectile through the hole and into the launch assembly for subsequent launch.

Abstract: A method of establishing a system for gathering surveillance data in a hostile environment. The method comprises the steps of providing a movable tractor for ground hauling a trailer, and providing a drone which can be operated independently from the tractor. The trailer has a floor pan for supporting a relay sensor dispensing mechanism and a platform above the floor pan, with a hole for dispensing relay sensors therethrough. The relay sensor dispensing mechanism has an elevator for holding a stockpile of relay sensors, and elevating the relay sensors through the hole. The method comprises disposing at least one relay sensor in the elevator, elevating the relay sensor to a pickup position at or above the platform and retrieving the relay sensor with a drone for subsequent deposition in the hostile environment. The relay sensor then gathers and transceives surveillance data for use and interpretation by an operator. Optional a conveyor chute may replenish the elevator when it is depleted of relay sensors.

Abstract: A system for sending surveillance signals from a hostile environment to an operator. The system comprises an operably movable tractor for ground hauling a trailer and an independently operable drone. The trailer has an actuatable elevator for holding a stockpile of relay sensors and comprising a pair of co-acting elevator belts defining a chute therebetween. The elevator holds a stack of relay sensors for elevation to a pickup-position by the drone. Optionally a conveyor chute may replenish the stack of relay sensors in the elevator.
