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.

The device for applying an electrical pulse includes at least one glove having a glove body ending in glove fingers, at least three of which are provided with first application contacts, connected to an electrical energy source via a control unit. The glove further includes second application contacts. The control unit includes a selector for applying a differential electrical pulse between the first and second application contacts.

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 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.
