Conducted electrical weapon with charge storage and signal generation
The patent US12025409B2 describes a conducted electrical weapon (CEW) that incorporates a sophisticated signal generator circuit designed to enhance its operational efficiency. The CEW features multiple electrodes that can be launched toward a target, with a signal generator circuit that includes a current source circuit for generating a stimulus signal. This circuit is connected to a first driver circuit, which consists of a first terminal linked to a first electrode, a switch device, and a charge storage circuit. The processing circuit manages the operations by providing an enable signal to the switch device, allowing charge storage, and subsequently enabling the current source circuit to deliver the stimulus signal through the weapon's components. The charge storage circuit may include capacitors and resistive elements, which are configured to store charge for a duration that exceeds the time the current source is active.
Additionally, the patent outlines methods for operating the CEW, emphasizing the sequential activation of switch devices and the delivery of the stimulus signal through the weapon's electrodes. The system allows for the selective turning on of multiple switch devices, facilitating the flow of the stimulus signal through both the first and second electrodes. The operations include storing charge in the charge storage circuit, disabling the enable signal, and ensuring that the first switch device remains activated based on the stored charge. This innovative design aims to improve the functionality and effectiveness of conducted electrical weapons, providing a structured approach to signal generation and delivery in tactical scenarios.
