ANTI-PEST DEVICE FOR FRUIT TREES AND THE LIKE
An anti-pest device for fruit trees and the like that prevents trees from being affected by crawling insect pests includes a rectangular sheet of electrical insulating material, which can adopt the shape of an inverted truncated cone or a cylindrical configuration around the trunk of the tree; a band of low-density foam under the sheet that adapts to the physiognomy of the bark, and deforms with the growth of the trunk, whereas the sheet includes a sector that is superimposed thereon and slides on it to adapt to said growth; a pair of parallel conducting wires, separated a distance according to the size of the body of the insect to be exterminated, subjected to a high difference in electrical potential by means of a power supply circuit, such that when an insect tries to get past them, it is automatically electrocuted.

Electrified Riot Protection Shield
The present invention relates to an electrified riot protection shield for keeping law enforcement officers safe while deterring rioters. The shield is designed as a multi-person shield and can be used by a plurality of security officers to shield their bodies, such that when one or more protestors touch a front surface of the shield, a non-lethal electric shock is administered to the protestor's body to deter the protestor or rioter. The shield can be held in front of the officers' bodies by grasping the insulated handles disposed on a rear surface of the device and an electric supply is provided to a metal plate from an integrated battery for providing the electric shock. A trigger is actuated to enable the electric supply to the metal plate and the trigger can be actuated when the metal plate is pushed or touched by a protestor.

Methods and Apparatus for a Conducted Electrical Weapon
A conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) launches wire-tethered electrodes from multiple cartridges to provide a current through a human or animal target to impede locomotion of the target. The CEW may detect when the electrodes launched from the cartridges may provide the current through more than one target. The CEW may detect when electrodes launched from the cartridges may provide the current through the same target. The CEW may set the pulse rate of the current based on detecting the launch of electrodes from more than one cartridge, detecting that electrodes may provide the current through two or more targets, and/or detecting that two or more pairs of electrodes may deliver the current through the same target.

METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR A CONDUCTED ELECTRICAL WEAPON
A conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) launches wire-tethered electrodes from multiple cartridges to provide a current through a human or animal target to impede locomotion of the target. The CEW includes a handle and one or more deployment units. A handle and each deployment unit include a processing circuit and memory. The processing circuit of a handle may communicate with the processing circuit of the one or more deployment units. The processing circuit in a deployment unit may confirm receipt of a message from the processing circuit in a handle. A handle may provide operation and usage data to a deployment unit for storage. A handle may receive data from a deployment unit.
