A conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) launches wire-tethered electrodes from one or more 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 one or more cartridges, 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.

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.

A wildlife exclusion system for railway tracks is provided which includes an exclusion arrangement positioned to span across the railway tracks at a location along a length of the railway tracks. The exclusion arrangement extends generally perpendicular to the railway tracks and has a series of conductive elements spaced apart from each other to form an exclusion are configured to provide an electric shock to wild animals when particular conductive elements within the exclusion area are bridged thereby. Methods of installing a wildlife exclusion system and methods of discouraging wild animals from traveling along railway tracks are also provided.

Disclosed is an electrical stunning method that is delivered to the head of a slaughter animal. A direct and/or alternating current electric pulse or an electric pulse sequence including two or more direct and/or alternating current pulses is used in the method. Also disclosed is a slaughter method using the stunning method and a design for a device that can be used in the stunning method.

A disclosed pulse generator is configured to detect a voltage waveform output to an electrified element. The pulse generator has a charge circuit, a fire control circuit, an output transformer, and an energizer processor. The charge circuit receives a voltage input from a power source. The fire control circuit receives an output voltage of the charge circuit. The output transformer transforms an output voltage of the fire control circuit into a higher voltage output and delivers the higher voltage output to an electrified element. The energizer processor receives instructions from a communications component, determines one or more waveform parameters based on the instructions, and controls the fire control circuit such that the output of the fire control circuit corresponds to the one or more waveform parameters.

A monitor for an electrical control system has a pulse detection circuit configured to detect a voltage waveform output to an electrified element. The monitor also has a monitor processor. The monitor processor receives the voltage waveform from the pulse detection circuit, measures one or more parameters of the voltage waveform, receives additional information associated with the voltage waveform, compares the one or more parameters to the additional information, and performs an analysis process based on the comparison of the voltage waveform and the additional information. The monitor also has a communication interface configured to deliver a result of the analysis process to an interface component via one or more communication components connected to the monitor processor.
