Conducted electrical weapon for assessing connection quality
The patent US12072169B2 outlines a method and system for assessing the quality of connections between a conducted electrical weapon (CEW) and a target. The method involves the CEW generating a pulse of a stimulus signal and determining the quality of the connection by calculating the ratio of the charge that flows through the connection to the charge provided by the pulse. This assessment categorizes the connection as either "good quality" or "bad quality." The method includes additional steps such as measuring the charge on capacitors, detecting ionization of air between the CEW terminals, and establishing thresholds for determining connection quality.
The CEW described in the patent features a processing circuit and a signal generator that work together to perform the quality assessment operations. The system can handle multiple connections, allowing for the selection of specific connections based on their quality. The processing circuit is designed to adapt its operations, including setting pulse rates and selecting connection sequences, according to the assessed quality of each connection. This innovative approach aims to enhance the effectiveness and reliability of CEWs by ensuring optimal connection quality during operation.
