Abstract

The invention relates to a device for interactively protecting a person's vital signs and to a weapon and method for immobilising and capturing the person, using said device. The device is intended to protect a person's vital functions and is preferably, but not exclusively, intended for weapons of the type used to immobilise and capture a person, which apply electric shocks or other emissions to the body in order to immobilise the person, but while simultaneously providing protection against the effects of the electric shock. The device comprises sensors that detect the person's vital signs and signal-processing circuits that control the blocking and/or regulation of the electric shock discharged from the weapon at the moment of use.

Description

 AN DEVICE FOR INTERACTIVE PROTECTION OF THE VITAL SIGNS OF AN INDIVIDUAL AND AN ARMOR AND METHOD OF IMMOBILIZATION AND CAPTURE OF THE INDIVIDUAL, USING SUCH DEVICE

STATE OF THE ART OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of devices, devices and arrangements employed by security personnel and more particularly refers to a device intended to protect the vital functions of an individual and which is applicable, preferably but not exclusively, to weapons of the type of immobilization and capture of the individual, which operate by electric shocks in the individual's body, in order to immobilize the individual but protecting him from the effects of electric shock discharged by the weapon, also including the invention the method and the immobilization weapon. For the purposes of this description, individual or objective can be understood as humans and / or animals.

 DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

[0002] Before entering the description of the devices and systems known in the art and generally employed by security personnel for the intimidation and detention of individuals, it is appropriate to make references to technical concepts that will help to better understand the object and content of the invention.

 [0003] Currently, problems related to lack of security, social crises, demonstrations and street riots, disruptions in public events, lack of control in sporting events, land takeover / usurpations, juvenile delinquency, prison control, are growing day by day. security in gated communities; just to highlight some of an extensive list.

[0004] Economic problems, social inequality, educational decline, the lack of role models; added to the enormous advance of the drug, they have made our world much more dangerous and difficult to control, imposing on the forces responsible for maintaining order; an unprecedented level of demand and challenge.

[0005] Police, Military, Penitentiary, Private Security, Law Enforcement, etc; they must face daily, conflicts where the main objective must be to be able to control a threat situation, applying appropriate and proportional solutions, so that the chances of having to exert a lethal risk response can be minimized.

 [0006] Traditionally these law enforcement agencies use firearms as their main tool to achieve these objectives, which are clearly designed and intended to cause death!

 [0007] In these scenarios, the use of traditional lethal weapons, charges daily worldwide, numerous deaths and / or irreparable damages, which in many cases could have been avoided, to have intermediate solutions, "non-lethal" or minor degree of potential damage; for the aggressors / criminals / convicts / criminals / suspects / etc, as well as for absolutely innocent third parties outside the facts and the law enforcement personnel themselves, who permanently risk their lives to achieve the general welfare of our societies.

 [0008] On the other hand, throughout the World, the forces of Police, Military, Prison, Private Security, Law Enforcement, etc; They seek to use the appropriate weapons to effectively counter crime advances, without being exposed to society, as abusers of the power granted by their function.

[0009] Finally, statistics and studies show that a very high percentage of criminal acts could be repelled and controlled, without the need for use lethal weapons, which add up to unnecessary and numerous daily deaths, throughout the planet.

 [0010] This problem is not new, although it is greater in our times, and the science, technology and inventiveness of man; they have created since ancient times, elements of a "non-lethal" nature, as alternatives to lethal weapons, used in extreme cases.

 [0011] Thus, for example, going back to times of Ninjas and Samurai, we see that there were weapons conceived as "non-lethal", which stood out within the "Kobudo / Ninjutsu", such as the "Shuriken", the "Nunchaku" , etc.; that mainly sought to "immobilize" or cancel the advance of a potential aggressor, without necessarily causing his death.

 [0012] The arms development has been profuse over the years, and on the other hand, the advent and multiple uses of electric energy have not neglected the consideration of using it as a force capable of becoming a true power of deterrence, immobilization and even of causing the death of an eventual aggressor.

 [0013] Thus, for example, the concept of electrified fences, began with developments in the United States and New Zealand, there by 1889; with the initial objective of controlling livestock, and then also becoming a security barrier, which is currently implemented worldwide, indiscriminately and without too many controls; to protect residential, industrial perimeters, limit prisoner escape, etc. These electrified barriers, whose main objective should be to dissuade and ward off potential attempts to cross them, have generated and continue to receive large deaths worldwide.

[0014] On the other hand, one of the most convincing demonstrations of the use of Electric power and its lethal power, was constituted in the creation of the electric chair, a machine designed and used for the application of capital punishment, with the procedure that was called, "electrocution".

 [0015] It was mainly used in the United States since August 6, 1890 when the first execution was carried out with this method; which ended up using as more effective technology, the energy coming from the alternating current (more similar to a train of pulses), beyond the disputes between its Inventor Harold P. Brown with Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla.

 [0016] Also, in 1852, Dr. Albert Soundenburg and Phillipp Rechten obtained Invention Patent No. 8,843 in the United States, of a device for hunting whales, by means of a harpoon capable of causing a high voltage discharge, by connecting from the same to a conductor cable that transmitted the energy, generated by a magneto-electric rotation machine. That way they "electrocuted" the whales, and then slaughtered them, even if the harpoon caused superficial wounds.

[0017] In 1937, a set of devices, such as swords, harpoons, spears and arrows, was patented in the United States, with an internal energy source capable of generating a series of high voltage pulses, whose objectives, they covered the state of "immobilization / incapacitation", until the death of a target person or animal. It was registered under the name "Electric Weapon" ("ELECTRIC WEAPONS"), and was invented by Thomas D. Ryan, under the number 2,805,067, of the patent registry of that Country.

[0018] Already from that moment, Thomas D. Ryan suggested based on his research, that his device could inflict lethal outcomes on human or animal victims, such as atrial / atrial / ventricular fibrillation states; related to severe muscle spasms, caused by discharges electric.

 [0019] Several studies and experiments were conducted on volunteers and animals, in order to quantify the effects of these electric shocks on a living organism; mainly considering the variables of voltage, current, frequency and their duration.

 [0020] Thus, for example, in an article published in IEEE SPECTRUM of February 1969, on pages 44-50, with the title "Lethal Electric Currents", Dalziel and Lee summarize their articles published in 1.968 in "IEEE Transactions of Industry and General Applications ", Vol. IGA-4, pages 467-476; where they provided valuable information on the harmful effects of electric shock based on the experiments that had been performed.

 [0021] The experimental conclusions tend to establish atrial / ventricular fibrillation as the most likely cause of deaths attributed to "electrocution" of this type, which can also cause the interruption of physiological functions such as breathing, burn and general damage irreversible to vital organs.

 [0022] Other studies were also published, carried out by the Uiíderwriters laboratory in 1939, where they analyzed the problem of being able to establish a safety standard related to the type of discharges used in electric fences and according to their report No. 14 of December that year, the recommendation indicated to use pulses of "shocks" of defined magnitudes, separated by recommended time intervals, to try to preserve the life of the receiver of said discharges.

[0023] With the intention of reducing the number of deaths and the growing problems derived from the almost exclusive and often indiscriminate use of lethal weapons for any event associated with the confirmed or presumed crime; has advanced notably in the research and development of new handheld devices, which could provide immobilization and capture capabilities, but without inflicting serious or irreversible damage.

 [0024] Likewise, derived from the habitual use in the field and the farm, to lower the cattle and to conduct it in the whole process of slaughter; the use of the indispensable and widespread "Picanas for cattle", came to be used against the human being, in an undesirable way.

 [0025] It is engraved in the memory of many societies of the World, abuse, torture, death; framed as crimes against humanity, where these devices involved in these acts appear.

 [0026] But the truth is that the problems related to security breaches and the uncontrolled progress of crime have prompted the development of devices that, without the need to cause death, leave an eventual objective temporarily canceled. the dangerous.

 [0027] ^ In this way, observing the behaviors and effects on animals and human volunteers, of the electric shocks of the "picanas", studies and research were deepened, trying to establish the functional characteristics of these discharges and their maximum limits of application in humans, as to achieve "reversible" temporary effects of immobilization, without reaching death.

[0028] This line of research and developments, was shown as promising, for the creation of a new generation of "non-lethal" devices, for use by law enforcement, as well as by ordinary citizens, as a means Basic protection and self defense.

[0029] The so-called "Stun Gun", turned out to be the first devices derived from the "traditional picanas", and became effective, simple and practical hand-held elements, widely distributed throughout the world; that today, they are even found in camouflaged form, in other devices, such as cell phone equipment, flashlights, etc.

 [0030] The "Stun Gun" have the characteristic of requiring direct contact, of the "melee" type, with the human or animal objective, which is intended to immobilize and / or capture. This characteristic, also becomes an important limitation, since normally, it is not possible to approach those levels, a potential human aggressor who is carrying a "white weapon" for example, or an animal 'uncontrolled, rabid, etc.

[0031] The observation of this limitation, relative to the "distance" factor relative to the objective; but with the recognition of the effectiveness of the power of the "electric shock"; generated worldwide, a large number of developments backed by several international patents, ^" in which it was sought to achieve a series of devices of a primarily" non-lethal "nature, which allowed to exercise that capacity at a safe distance from the objective, similar to Typical distances of use, for "lethal weapons" (fire, normally).

 [0032] Thus, with the intention of reducing the number of deaths related to the use, unnecessary lethal weapons; companies around the world, such as Karbon Arms (which acquired Stinger Systems in 2010); Taser International, Inc .; Condor Technologies Náo-Letais (www.condornaoletal.com.br), which recently launched its non-lethal weapons called "Spark"; Security Devices international Inc .; among many other developers and manufacturers; they advanced in the construction of handheld devices, to be used as "non-lethal weapons", whose basic objectives should be the "immobilization and capture" of the target human being or animal.

[0033] Many of these developments, more technically referred to as "Hand- held stun gun for incapacitating a human target, "as described for example in US Patent No. 6,636,412; assigned to the company Taser International, Inc., of Scottsdale, AZ (US), were involving patentable developments in this regard, based on the non-limiting references of the following inventions and patents, of which US 3,523,538; US 3,803,463; US 4,253,132; US 4,541, 191; US 4,872,084; US 4,982,645; US 5,654,867; US 5,698,815; US 5,758,448; US 5,786,546 ; US 5,831,199; US 5,936,183; US 5,955,695; US 5,962,806; US 6,053,088; US 6,256,916; US 6,269,726; US 6,360,645 and US 6,393,752.

 [0034] These inventions related to the creation of "non-lethal" devices and methods, to neutralize by means of the paralyzing effect of a high-power electric shock, were mainly based on the implementation of elements such as "metal darts / conductors", with capacity of being thrown at the target several meters, maintaining the electrical conduction link by means of retracted conductive cables, which, attached to the power source of the device, caused the desired discharge, closing the electrical circuit through the circulation of these currents, through the target body (human / animal). This link to "close" the discharge circuit through the body of the target (human / animal), darts and conductive cables, usually remains physically attached to the "non-lethal weapons", although there are developments, especially from Russia, where "repeat and prompt load" applications have been implemented, in which these sets of conductor cables and darts (basically) are decoupled / disconnected, allowing the discharge of the power source to be deployed through another set "temporarily" in solidarity with the device.

[0035] For any of these possible applications, the methods, systems and technologies involved in this patent are of absolute application, not restrictive or limiting, for other possible configurations of these existing "non-lethal weapons and devices".

 [0036] The extensive documentation and worldwide experimentation, which exists on the application of electrical impulses, without reaching the limits of lethality, has been used as a basis by all the leading manufacturers of this type of "non-lethal weapons".

 [0037] Thus, in 1981, with US Patent No. 4,253,132, by the inventor John H. Cover, called: "POWER SUPPLY FOR WEAPON FOR IMMOBILIZATION AND CAPTURE"; a complete weapon of this type was already presented, and the convenience of using "pulses" of discharge with "neutral" intervals was ratified, to achieve the desired effects to disable a living human or animal being; safeguarding in turn, the resilience and duration of limited sources of power.

 [0038] Novel adaptations of these "pulses of electrical energy" have been developed over the years, relating to these "non-lethal" weapons of intent; defining amplitudes, times, repetitions, voltage and current levels, etc .; to achieve the best effect of "immobilization and capture", trying to safeguard the restoration without permanent damage of the individual receiving such discharges. For these levels the term "let-go" has been defined as the threshold between what would not cause harm, and what would damage.

[0039] The truth is that because they are devices, which must be "portable"("Handheld"), of similar characteristics to conventional lethal firearms; They must try to achieve maximum efficiency relative to consumption (they usually work by high-efficiency rechargeable batteries), so that finally, the marketed devices are applicable and practical for the end user. [0040] Additionally, there would be nothing desirable, situations, in which the forces of Police, Military, Prison, Private Security, Law Enforcement, etc; they had to count on the need to use these devices, as a defense, to save a life, protect themselves, etc; and the same, were not available, for a quick "discharge" of their internal power sources (Batteries, normally).

 [0041] That is why the determination, by all manufacturers of this type of "non-lethal weapons"; It has been based on the emission of "electrical pulses with non-emission spaces", since they have been able to achieve discharge results, which can even cause death (ie maximum power), simultaneously optimizing the consumption levels of these devices, finally achieving a huge amount of "shots" ("pulses of controlled electrical discharge") of high effectiveness, without recharging them with high periodicity.

[0042] The first "non-lethal weapons" systems, supported by this 1981 patent by John H. Cover, were based on electrical impulses that traveled from the weapon to the first dart, then from that first dart through the body of the person or animal subject to the shot ("discharge"), to return by the second dart and the conductor cable, to the weapon, thus closing the electrical circuit.

 [0043] The electrical impulses were produced at a rate of between two and ten pulses per second, with 20 kilovolts, delivering in each discharge, from 0.01 to 0.5 joules; capable of inducing involuntary muscle contractions and the desired immobilization.

[0044] Later, many other patents emerged in the World, trying to optimize these devices and controlled discharge pulses, responsible for achieving the desired immobilization effects.

[0045] On the other hand, many experiences were able to demonstrate with volunteers, that these discharge pulse schemes were not highly effective; since in many cases, the people who received them, could continue walking or running to the target in front of them.

 [0046] This situation, taken to real cases, involving the forces of Police, Military, Prison, Private Security, Law Enforcement, etc .; it would cause catastrophic results, since none of these forces could rely on these devices, and their lives would be in serious danger.

 [0047] The first response to this situation was to redefine the characteristics of these "discharge pulses", raising and modifying some parameters, to increase the degree of effectiveness, relative to the immobilization and possibility of subsequent capture, sought by the forces of the order.

 [0048] The market for the dissemination and sale of these "non-lethal" weapons grew rapidly, as crime and crime grew; achieving sales mainly in some states of the United States and other countries of the World.

[0049] However, simultaneously with the introduction and dissemination of these alternative weapons, whose initial fundamental objective was to "save lives, reducing the unnecessary use of lethal weapons"; on the contrary, a huge number of deaths related to the use and application of the same began to be registered.

 [0050] Excesses and abuses in the use of these devices were verified by the Police, Military, Prison, Private Security, Law Enforcement, etc; that finished being caratular, like situations of "torture".

[0051] ¹¹ "Non-lethal" weapons became known by prestigious and influential governmental and non-governmental organizations, such as dangerous and torture. [0052] "Amnesty Inernational" (www.amnesty.org), just to mention one of the most important organizations for the defense of human rights in the whole World, which with its global movement has more than 2.2 million people, present in more than 150 countries; and has submitted many international claims and recent documents, extremely compromising, where detailed listings of the dead related to the use of these devices are provided.

[0053] Under the title of one of his latest reports "Less than lethal? The use of stun weapons in US law enforcement (Index: AMR 51/010/2008)", dated December 16, 2008, "Amnesty International" , presented worldwide, this detailed report of deaths associated with the uses of these devices, highlighting the devices most involved with the name "Taser", referring to one or more products of TASER International, Inc., as well as for products at that time of Stinger Systems, Inc. (today Karbon Arms), among others.

 [0054] In this Link, a huge number of cases and documented claims are detailed; that generated and generate current lawsuits, against the manufacturers of "Taser" devices, and have blocked their use in virtually all

Countries, which even these companies, provide as a commercial reference:

 [0056] The data submitted by "Amnesty International" on these victims in the use of "non-lethal" weapons, with the title "LIST OF DEATHS WING USE OF STUN WEAPONS FOLLOW ΓΝ US LAW ENFORCEMENT, includes all the details of these deaths and the implications of using the "Tasers" in those events.

[0057] There are numerous private studies and investigations, proposed by companies such as Taser International, Inc. (http://www2.taser.com/research/Science/Paqes/CurrentElectronicControlDevic eResearch.aspx). but in general terms, they have not been accepted by the international community, as to allow the diffusion and use of these "electronic control devices (ECDs)" (or Temporary Immobilizers Deterrent "ITDs", among other denominations); and irreversible deaths and / or damage have not ceased, in the restricted environments where these devices are applied.

 [0058] The truth is that even in the United States, where the greatest number of inventions, experiences and manufacturing companies of these devices reside; the restrictions of use, are important for several great states of this nation.

 [0059] Amnesty International, as well as many other entities, governments, municipalities, citizens, non-governmental organizations, civil associations, lawyers and judges, relatives of victims, etc .; they have been vigorously demanding and impeding the dissemination and use permits of "Taser" devices, all over the World.

 [0060] The arguments against it are based mainly on the fact that despite the generic designation of these devices, as "non-lethal"; It is clearly demonstrated and documented that they can cause large deaths.

[0061] The main users of these devices, coming from Police, Military, Prison, Private Security, Law Enforcement, etc .; they cannot determine the need to use these weapons, for example, if the person to whom they will be shot has an electronic cardiac assist system (electronic pacemaker, ¹ etc.) implanted in their body, ePcuál will surely be operating before those "stress" situations, and that obviously, will be seriously affected, when they circulate through your body, these tremendous pulses of energy, which can generate with very high probability, a serious physiological trauma or cause death.

[0062] On the other hand, the functional characteristic of these devices is based on the emission of a set of high voltage pulses, which, when circulating through the human body or an animal, "confuse" the neurotransmitter nerve mechanisms, causing arrhythmic and involuntary contractions of the affected muscle tissues ("NMI"). Despite the attempts of the designers, to minimize these effects by working with the so-called "let-go" threshold, the truth is that too many electromagnetic propagation variables are involved in the human or animal body; as to be able to guarantee that the heart will not be affected, by these strong electrical impacts.

[0063] So it has been documented, a huge number of cases and unfortunately are still registered in the restricted areas, where these "Taser" weapons are being used; of deaths due to critical conditions such as "atrial / ventricular fibrillation", which can lead to cardiac arrest, caused by the electrical shock received.

 [0064] Recent studies with animals have concluded that the current use of this type of "Taser" type electric shock weapon can cause fatal arrhythmias in pigs, which raises additional questions about its use in humans.

[0065] In addition, it has recently been reported that almost ten percent of the 41 "Taser" weapons tested in a study commissioned by the "Canadian Broadcasting Corportation" applied a considerably greater current than the one the manufacturer indicated as possible, which underlines the need to implement life protection criteria, involved in the innovations that will be detailed here.

There are even aberrant documents (also recorded in videos), where Police, Military, Prison, Private Security, Law Enforcement, etc .; they gave additional shots ("electric shock pulses") with these electronic control devices (in English "electronic control devices" (ECDs)), to an alleged criminal / target; when this was already according to subsequent forensic studies in a state of "atrial / ventricular fibrillation", and immediately after death, which actually took place, unfortunately.

[0066] Even more critical is the already registered actions of this type of weapons on children and women who were pregnant; where the risks are much greater.

[0067] The leading companies in the development and manufacturing of these devices, such as Taser International, Inc .; they have registered huge losses and their best commercial results, are restricted, in which in most cases, they are only allowed permits, to "put in test schemes", for long periods these "non-lethal" weapons; In addition, in many of these cases, factories must deliver at no cost, to facilitate these processes - which in general are stopped or have been lost in terms of commercial insertion, in all the sites they have tried to enter.

[0068] The truth is that all these efforts by the main manufacturers, to try to demonstrate that these "non-lethal" weapons (ECDs, etc.), are safe, effective and with minimal incidence and interference in the normal operation of the physiology of the human body or an animal; Negative facts and public opinion, goes against, arguing that in no way, vital parameters are taken into account.

[0069] Developing and manufacturing companies of this type of Stun Gun, "Taser" devices, etc; they are being checked, by hundreds of millions of international lawsuits, presented in general by relatives of people who have died or suffered serious damage, in incidents where they were used. [0070] Thus, for example, I detail below material related to a recent case, which is among the last demands received by the Taser International, Inc. Company, for the sum of USD 6,200,000.-:

 [0075] "Lawsuit against Taser highlights risks in deaths by Taser http://bloasJindlaw.com/iniured/2010/01/taser-lawsuit-hiQhliphts-ri

deaths.html

[0076] Taser International Inc. is no stranger to the lawsuits, but this time it received the lunge thoroughly. According to the Las Vegas Sun newspaper, the Scottsdale, Arizona factory is sued in a Taser gun lawsuit by the family of a Las Vegas doctor who died in 2008. He was only 33 years old. The lawsuit is another example of what some see as a risk of death posed by the use of Taser weapons in certain situations. The lawsuit says that Mr. Ryan Rich suffered a seizure while driving. The road patrol officer allegedly neutralized Rich using his Taser five times (twice as a paralyzing "stun gun"). When he was taken to a hospital, he was pronounced dead. The lawsuit alleges that Taser did not disclose the risks - lethal of its products .... the product can cause cardiac arrest and "ventricular fibrillation." The lawsuit also alleges that the company did not warn law enforcement officials to wear defibrillators to mitigate the risks of brain damage or death if the suspect goes into cardiac arrest after officials use the device. AZ Central reported that Robert C.'s wrongful death lawsuit Heston resulted in a ruling against Taser Inc. for the amount of $ 6.2 million in damages.

[0077] According to the Las Vegas Sun, the 9th Circuit will soon rule on strict guidelines on the use of tasers by law enforcement. Neyada is one of the states in the jurisdiction of the 9th Circuit. "

 [0078] This true avalanche of negative results, and the impossibility of expanding these technologies and applications to a true international scale, drove the implementation of several additional technologies and patents; but that finally did not produce to date, the reversal of the opinion of the main human rights organizations and other entities, and the "Taser" type devices, are increasingly associated with the concept of "torture" in broad sectors of World society

 [0079] Thus, for example, special identification elements were incorporated, for each "shot" ("discharge pulse"), to leave evidence in the scene of use of these "non-lethal" weapons; automatic audio and video recording systems with the triggering, intended to leave a probative document, of how the Police, Military, Penitentiary, Private Security, Law Enforcement, etc., deployed their actions, etc.

 [0080] Calibration technologies of the "discharge pulse" type ("Pulse Calibration System" of Taser International, Inc., for example) were also developed, which in theory is adjusted to ensure an effective "immobilization / Neuromuscular disability (what you sign as Taser International, Inc., call the term "NMI"), using the lowest possible discharge levels on the target (a person or animal), so that they are safer.

[0081] These innovations, also on some devices, allow saving records and perform optional manual controls by the operator, on the main components of these "discharge pulses" (current, time, amplitude, repetition, etc.).

 [0082] We find many of these applications, endorsed by some of the following US Patents numbers: US 7,075,770 Bl, US 2006/0209489, US 2007/0097592 Al, US 2007/0130815 Al, US 2009/0180234 Al, US 4,541,191, US 7,778,005 B2, basically.

 [0083] In cases such as that of the company Taser International Inc., a private report was obtained, based on a study of the Institute of Legal Medicine of Malaga in Medical Notebooks No. 35 of 2004; in which it is mentioned that these devices generate 50,000 volts in vacuum, but in contact with the person, this value is reduced to about 400 volts with a current of 0.0021 amps, which makes it "non-lethal" per se, since it is known that in general the lethal effect of electric current depends on the intensity and not on the voltage.

 [0084] However, these studies have not been accepted by the community in general and human rights defenders around the World, in view of unfortunate events that continue to occur.

 [0085] In effect, this did not reduce the deaths that continue to be generated, nor the negative impact and perception of society as a whole, together with governments, municipal security offices, police forces, military forces, prisons, private security , "Law Enforceméht", human rights organizations, etc.

[0086] There are plenty of opposition scenarios, and just to mention other World campaigns against "Taser" devices (assuming it is the current leading company in this industry and has become a denomination generic), I include this Link:

 [0087] www.campaignagainstthetaser.com

 [0088] In his commercial career to survive, companies such as Taser International, Inc., Karbon Arms, Inc., etc; They announce in their press releases and by all the different means of promotion and dissemination possible, that they have a growing presence and applications in more than 50 countries, beyond the United States and one of them is to mention an example, Argentina.

 [0089] Reality indicates, specifically, that this type of device, "ECDs", "Non-lethal Weapons", etc; They are specifically blocked and banned for use in Argentina, as evidenced by the following articles and links attached below:

 [0090] http://www.amnestv.org.ar/noticias-v-documentos/archivo-de- noticias / argentina-5

 [0091] The Chamber said goodbye to Taser guns

[0092] Published on December 1, 2010

 [0093] The Chamber II of the Chamber in the Contentious Administrative and Taxation ratified the ruling of first instance that definitively suspended in last July the use of Taser X 26 weapons for the Metropolitan Police, after an amparo appeal that had presented the Observatory of Human Rights of the City (ODH). The first resolution underlined data from the UN Committee Against Torture and other international organizations that ensure that Taser-type weapons, used in more than 40 countries, can kill or damage the physical integrity and health of people. The appeals court ruled after hearing the ODH and Eugenio Burzaco.

[0094] http://tiempo.elargentino.com/notas/camara-diio-adios-las-pistolas- taser

 [0095] In addition, finally, only less than 10 units of this type of device came into this country; with which, it is clear, the huge problem that relates to the current state of this technology.

 [0096] At all sites where these devices were sold or introduced for testing; There were serious questions and conflicts of social opposition, government, non-governmental organizations, human rights defenders, etc; so that these "non-lethal weapons" are not allowed.

[0097] All the most successful and important companies in the World, referring to the design and production of these devices, such as Karbon Arms (which acquired Stinger Systems in 2010); Taser International, Inc .; among others; They are suffering huge losses and much worse, their major promotional marketing efforts are seriously affected, putting many players in this industry, in bankruptcy situations.

 [0098] I have carried out research in recent years, referring to the propagation of pulses of electric energy, generators of electromagnetic fields, and their incidence in humans, which ended up generating in one of its applications, my Patent of Invention referred a "A PASSIVE DETECTION AND INDICATION SYSTEM, OF NON-IONIZING ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATIONS AND STATIC ELECTRICITY, SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO APPLY / INTEGRATE IN ALL TYPES OF ANTI-RADIATION / ANTI-STATIC / ANTI-REFLECTION BATTERIES IN EMBOSSED DISPOSALS WITH CATHODIC RAY TUBES (TRC), MAINLY ".)

[0099] This patent 'which was granted in the Patent and Trademark Registry of ARGENTINA, with the number "AR005692B1", was also registered in the United States, as "Passive svstem for the detection and indication of non-ionizinq electromaqnetic radiations and static electricitv", with the number US 6,577,132 B2 in the USPTO; in European countries and China, mainly; It involved a specific management of the counterproductive effects in our body of High Voltage discharges, coming from "Flyback" type devices, typically inserted in devices integrated with "TRC" (Cathode Ray Tubes), in a non-limiting manner.

 [00100] This base helped me to clearly understand the functional principles of these so-called "non-lethal weapons", "ECD", electrified liquid launchers, electric plasma, directed energy weapons, Electromagnetic Pulse Projectile (PEP), wireless electric darts, Electrified Fences, etc .; its implications within the organism of the human being (and animals), and discover innovations that are the basis of this Invention Patent, whose main objective will be to "save lives", adding an invaluable added value to "Taser" type industries and other "non-lethal" devices, Electrified Fence developers, etc. - that will revolutionize the concepts and reverse the objections that the markets present worldwide, thereby causing enormous benefits in terms of sales, insertion and adoption of methods, systems and equipment, with a great commercial development.

[00101] Another of the great objectives sought is to achieve the worldwide implementation of regulations that require the inclusion of the methods, systems and technologies involved in a non-limiting way in this Invention Patent, in order to safeguard in this way the integrity Physics of the Police, Military, Prison, Private Security, "Law Enforcement", organizations that defend rights humans, etc .; as well as ordinary citizens; avoiding abusive uses, and torture environments, related to the operation of the current available technology of "non-lethal weapons" or the English "Less Lethal Weapons", globally.

[00102] In reference to the regulations that should be implemented throughout the World, in relation to the operation of these "non-lethal weapons and systems" or the English "Less Lethal Weapons"; it would be to cancel and prohibit, the "continuous emission" (continuous firing), of a set of high voltage pulses ("NMI"), without preset limits, being able to even activate them, until the batteries are consumed.

[00103] It is clear and widely proven worldwide that the current state of these so-called "non-lethal" methods, systems and technologies, are blocked in their good diffusion intensities, due to the impossibility they present, of being able to take in consideration, the basic physiological functional states of the person (or animal) that is the object of the attacks made by these devices.

 [00104] On the other hand, various methods, systems and technologies are also known to provide prompt and accurate information, of the main functional physiological parameters, of human beings and animals. These systems designed to provide prompt and accurate information on the main functional physiological parameters of humans and animals; they can operate through different levels of approach and contact, with the human body or an animal, through the use of "contact and contactless sensors, that is, at a distance.

[00105] These methods, techniques and devices, allow to record with precision, fundamental data, of the behavior of our organism or of an animal, by applying sensors on the surface of the skin, with aggregates of products to optimize this contact, such as "gels", or even by needles inserts at epidermis level; achieve heart rate, respiratory readings, body movements, etc.

 [00106] Even different technologies have been developed, which in a very simplified and reliable way, allow to record these vital vital signs, such as heart rate and its anomalies; by means of only two electrodes, arranged in areas far away even from the heart muscle, providing correct and prompt readings.

[00107] Thus, for example, US Patent 4,027,663; called "HEART BEAT DETECTOR", describes one of these alternatives, applicable even to extremely unstable, noisy conditions, in emergency environments, with vibrations, without the possibility of finding ideal application points for the two electrodes in terms of proximity to areas cardiac, etc. Like many other similar devices, these are simple circuits, of reduced space and capable of operating with conventional batteries.

 [00108] This device, in the first instance, has a conductivity detector circuit, to ensure the good contact of the electrodes with the subject's skin, and then performs an immediate detection, filtering and indication of the cardiac electrical potentials, and the so-called " QRS complexes "; to provide an indication of ECG (Electrocardiogram).

[00109] Seeking to avoid problems related to eventual contact and conductive coupling, between the sensors described above and the skin of the person analyzed; US Patent Application Publication 2009/0309605 Al, called "ELECTRIC POTENTIAL SENSOR", describes electrodes of this type, where a detection of cardiac potentials is implemented, with a capacitive coupling, which dispenses with the need for electrical contact "sensor -skin ", achieving excellent results, only with physical action of the parts. This "Electric Potential Sensing technology ", is very tested and developed for example, by the University of Sussex, Brighton, (GB).

 [00110] But, thinking mainly of patients with skin difficulties, such as burns and other controls, where adhering the sensors to the body, could be a problem, devices were generated, to be able to make measurements of the electric fields that emanates the brain and the heart (Electroencephalogram / EEG and ECG electrocardiogram, respectively); Without contact with the subject.

[00111] In US Patent Application Published 2011/0043225 Al, called "NON-CONTACT BIOPOTENTIAL SENSOR", the use of a capacitive bio-sensor system ("Capacitive Biosensor System"), which achieve this same type of biometric / physiological readings, without contact between the sensor and the subject's skin; achieving an efficient response in the separation range of a few millimeters (less than 4mm), designed to operate over light clothes or the same hair, which can separate the skin from the sensor.

 [00112] Continuing research on available technologies, methods and systems, applicable to distance measurement (without contact), of basic physiological / biometric states, such as heart rate (ECG), respiratory rate, etc; a large number of developments are found, which can serve to implement the present invention.

[00113] The combination of so-called wireless bio-radar sensors, in English "wireless bio-radar sensor", operating with 1 or 2 antennas, using free ISM frequencies (such as 902 - 928 MHz; 2.4 - 2,483 GHz; 5.15 - 5.35 and 5,725-5,875 GHz, for example), in conjunction with the application of the "Doppler"effect; they have allowed to achieve very precise "contactless" measurements, at distances of the order of 50 cm of the subject (human or animal). The use of these frequency bands, and the designs known, allow to achieve results based on very small, economical and low power consumption circuits.

 [00114] Thus, for example, in Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 5, 149-168, 2008, the assembly of a "WIRELESS BIO-RADAR SENSOR FOR HEARTBEAT AND RESPIRATION DETECTION", B.-J. Jang of the Department of Electrical Engineering, Kookmin University; S.-H. Wi and J.-G. Yook of the Department of Electrical Engineering, Yonsei University; M.-Q. Lee of the Department of Electronic, Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Seoul and K.-J. Lee, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Yonsei University, all of Korea; they demonstrated very good and reliable results, based on the use of these combined principles.

[00115] On the other hand, in the Published Patent Application US 2009/0203972 Al, called "APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR MONITORING PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNS", radiofrequency signals combined with "UWB" transmission and reception sensors are also applied. ("ultrawideband Radio Frequency Sensor"), in conjunction with the "Doppler" effect, with the introduction of a "standard" signal as a "pulsed continuous wave signal", taking the differences between the transmitted and received remotely from the subject (human or animal), after being amplified and filtered; it allows to obtain effective and infringia as the readings EGC, of respiratory rate and movements, to distances of separation of the order of the meter.

 [00116] Under the current state of the art it would be very convenient to have a new technology for the protection of the vital functions of individuals, attachable to the aforementioned immobilization weapons of the type known in the art as well as others of different types where such protection is necessary.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [00117] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an interactive protection device for the vital signs of an individual and a weapon and method of immobilization and capture of the individual, using said device, being a device intended for protection of the vital functions of an individual and that is applicable, preferably but not exclusively, to weapons of the type of immobilization and capture of the individual, which operate by electric shocks or other emissions in the individual's body, in order to immobilize the individual but protecting it from the effects of electric shock, the device comprising sensors of the individual's vital conditions and signal processing circuits that control the blocking and / or regulation of the electric shock of the weapon before, during and after the "firing" effective, understood as electric shock, but not restrictively.

 [00118] It is also an object of the present invention to provide an interactive protection device for the vital signs of an individual applicable to an immobilization and capture weapon of the individual operating by electric shocks or other emissions, for the use of security forces, such as a self-defense element, being a weapon that presents at least a pair of darts intended to come into contact with the body of the individual to be immobilized and captured, said darts being connected to respective conductive cables that are connected to a transformer powered by a source capable of providing a difference in electrical potential through said dart cables to generate an electric shock through the body of said individual, and a microprocessor to control the functions and parameters of the weapon, while said protection device comprises:

[00119] At least one sensor connected to said cables to collect a reading of vital physiological conditions of the individual before impact and / or once impacted the darts in the individual's body,

 [00120] An extractor and signal integrator circuit having an input connected to said at least one sensor, to take at least one signal corresponding to said reading of physiological conditions collected by said at least one sensor,

[00121] At least one pulse detector connected to said cables to read at least a period of time of no electrical activity,

 [00122] Being said sensor, said extractor and signal integrator circuit and said pulse detector connected to said microprocessor of the device to block and / or modify the pulse discharge patterns to be performed on the individual based on said vital physiological conditions detected in the individual

[00123] It is also an object of the present invention to provide a weapon and method that employ the aforementioned device of the invention, forming a new technology that allows "non-lethal weapons" and similar devices to be integrated; to achieve something unique and innovative: "allow, that these systems, are adapted in their operation, depending on the particular physiological characteristics and conditions, of the human being or objective animal, among other applications and substantial benefits, which will be detailed later, in a non-limiting way. " That is, with the implementation of the present invention, this industry will cease to be "blind" and necessarily independent of the vital functions, of the people and / or animals receiving the emissions of these "non-lethal weapons and immobilization devices.

[00124] Thus, considering the general functional principles and taking advantage of the basic characteristics applied to the constitution of these "non-lethal" methods, systems and technologies; It is proposed to insert different types of physiological sensors, which will add a new concept of "operational interactivity", which will revolutionize the current market, so as to create a new generation of "non-lethal" methods, systems and technologies, which will be characterized, among other functions and benefits; For the "interactivity" with the potential target of its application, whether human or animal.

 [00125] It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a device for an operator of the Police, Military, Prison, Private Security, "Law Enforcement" forces, as well as remote / independent drive mechanisms with and without control, etc. ., can "release" the download of a "Taser" type device to a potential / confirmed offender / suspect, detecting if it is dependent on an artificial electronic cardiac assist system (pacemaker, etc.), and thereby avoid the emission of a discharge of high voltage pulses, which would surely prove fatal. That is to say, this set of methods, systems and technologies, subject of this invention, will become, through its implementation, in a non-limiting way, a true Interactive Technology for the Protection of Life.

[00126] On the other hand, while the "Taser" type devices, they would be discharging at least about 5 to 7 seconds of high voltage pulse emission, to achieve the "NMI" on a target, the operating principles involved in This Invention, in a non-limiting manner of its implementation, could be "simultaneously" monitoring changes in heart rate, or other critical vital signs, such as respiratory rate, motor seizures, etc. of the person (or animal) subject to the discharge; and sending "interactively" signals, so that "non-lethal weapons and immobilization devices", intelligently adjust the levels and characteristics of the emissions generated, in order to avoid reaching critical vital states, such as thresholds of "atrial fibrillation / V entrictílar", or cause death.

[00127] Additionally, the invention allows if an agent of the forces Police, Military, Penitentiary, Private Security, "Law Enforcement", etc., would be "firing" with a "Taser" type device, on an alleged or confirmed criminal / suspect, and another second agent will generate another shot of a similar device "not lethal" on the same goal; the principles of operation involved in this invention, in a non-limiting way of its implementation, would prevent a "force abuse", protecting the person (or animal) from the knowledge of the state of their vital functions interacting with the levels of emissions (or blocking them) and / or generating "alarms" for the operator of these devices, avoiding unnecessary additional shots (additional downloads), particularly if the subject was already controlled. After a first "firing" (controlled sequence of high voltage electrical pulses, in a non-limiting way) to a human or animal being, the experience and generalized methods demonstrate that there is a time of "shock", confusion and recovery of several seconds.

 [00128] It is also the object of the present invention to provide methods of at least one "removable blockade in emergencies", to prevent an agent of the Police, Military, Prison, Private Security, Law Enforcement ", etc; can execute another shot / download, immediately, consecutive to the previous download.

[00129] The operating principles involved in this Invention, in a non-limiting manner of its implementation, allow for "interactive" monitoring, indicating and adjusting the conditions of possible consecutive discharges; avoiding situations of 'cardiac risk' such as the thresholds of "Atrial / Ventricular Fibrillation", which could cause death, of the person (or animal) subject to discharge. [00130] That is, the main objectives of the methods, systems and technologies, involved in this invention, will allow the creation of a new generation of non-lethal or lethal weapons and devices to which these innovations can be added ", for example in the use of firearms, on a target, which was injured, etc .; the possibility of being able to monitor the vital physiological functions of the target person or animal, "adjusting and limiting" accordingly the types of discharges, emissions, etc. .; that they be perpetrated upon them, seeking to safeguard their physical integrity, avoiding abuses of power, irreversible damage and death; while still considering their basic mission. These innovations will undoubtedly revolutionize the global scope of application and use , from the Police, Military, Prison, Private Security, "Law Enforcement", etc .; since for the first time, these "non-lethal" devices and methods, type "Rate r "for example, may be used, without risk of suffering social convictions, public opinion, human rights defenders, etc .; and / or run the risk of being summed up by the legal control forces.

[00198] Thus, we describe in a non-limiting way, the basic functional principles of this invention, for this application model, where the Pulse Detector 44 is provided, which detects the presence of high voltage pulses, which are transmitted from the output of the non-lethal device / weapon, through Cable 26, TX 32, and Dart 28, closing the electrical discharge circuit, through the passage of the electrical pulses through the Human target 60, and returning through the Dart 29, continuing on RX 34, Cable 27, to the non-lethal device / weapon.

 (00199) The Pulse Detector 44 is connected to the Inductive / Capacitive Sensors 35 and 36, which can operate as a non-limiting example, such as an amperometric clamp, recording the electrical activity and the start and termination of high voltage pulses, on the Cables 26 and 27, and sending said synchronization data, to the Pulse Detector 44, through the cables 45 and 46. On the other hand, and by way of protection / redundancy of information, for the synchronization of the Pulse Detector 44 , in this non-limiting model of application of this invention, a direct supply from the output of the Microprocessor 50, through from the conductor 45a.

 [00200] The Pulse Detector 44, will indicate to the Radio Frequency Sensor device 41, the time spaces in which the latter can operate, to detect the basic functional physiological parameters, through the different types of technologies already described previously, in a non-limiting way.

[00201] On the other hand, the Radio Frequency Sensor device 41, is responsible for interpreting the basic physiological signals, which it processes, after sending over Cable 47, which is in solidarity with Cable 26, converted into Antenna / Sensor 31 , operating as a true TX 32 transmitter; the signals that will allow to discriminate these parameters, in a non-limiting way, using for example the "Doppler" Effect, verifying the differences received through the RX 34 receiver, which is in solidarity with the cable 27, operating as an RX 34 receiving antenna, which conducts the information to the Radio Frequency Sensor 41, via Cable 48. capable of rearming the information, which it receives in an interrupted / fragmented way, from the Radio Frequency Sensor 41, to send them to the Alarm Dispatcher Interactive Classifier 43, which will finally interpret the possible alerts and conditions, so that they are informed to the Microprocessor 50, to through Contact 46a; to condition, modify or block, the type of discharge ("shot") to be generated from these non-lethal devices, which are implemented with the methods, systems and technologies, involved in a non-limiting manner in this invention. .

[00203] Figure 7 illustrates in a non-limiting and schematic way, a flow chart of the most commonly used and arranged block of components in the known art, for the implementation of this type of "non-lethal immobilization and capture weapons", type "Taser", which are descriptively shown in dashed lines (not continuous), and are synthesized in Source 52, which is connected to Switch / Switch 51, which sends power to Transformer 53, which charges Capacitor 54, whose output produces the high voltage pulses used in this type of devices, through the Output Transformer 55; all this activated by Trigger 49, which derives its command signal to Microprocessor 50, which controls all the functions and parameters of the device; with a greater functional detail and insertion / interconnection of the methods, systems * and technologies involved in this invention, providing a descriptive that highlights the main functions of each part, interacting with current art.

 [00204] Conventional components are illustrated in dashed or "dotted" lines (not continuous); while the parts of the invention are shown in continuous lines.

[00205] In this way, a non-limiting diagram of the criteria is presented of this invention, in a schematic model, referred to a possible Human Objective 60, whose Heart 59 generates a "cardiac signal" 61 illustrated in Figure 8.

 [00206] Thus, Figure 9, graphically in synthetic and non-limiting form, a sequence of high voltage pulses 62, which travels through Cable 26, see Figure 7, where the amplitude thereof is highlighted in the voltage level scale 70, in Volt, with level VI, and a time scale where the spaces without electrical activity 63 are presented, presented as TI to Tn, being "n" undefined.

[00207] Said train of pulses, which constitute in a non-limiting manner those denominated in the industry, "NMI", Electric Shock Signal, etc., are detected at the output of Transformer 55, by Sensor 35, which sends the information to the Detector. Pulse 44, through conductor 45, as shown in Figure 7. Once the discharge circuit is closed through Cable 26, Dart 28, Human or Animal Target 60, Dart 29, and Cable 27; the pulse train is reduced in its values 64, as shown in Figure 10. It, as shown in Figure 7, will be detected by Sensor 36, which will send said information to Pulse Detector 44 through Cable 46, where in addition the periods of non-electrical activity 65 or between times of non-electrical activity, will be very similar to those of output 63, see Figure 9 and Figure 10.

 [00208] Figure 8 presents a non-limiting graph, of a diagram of the cardiac response 61, of the Heart 59, of the human objective 60, of Figure 7. This information / reading, is made in lapses 63 and 65, is say TI, T2, T3 .... Tn, of Figure 9 and Figure 10, from the Radio Frequency Sensor 41, in synchronized form, with the indications that arrive from the Pulse Detector 44, shown in Figure 7.

[00209] Figure 1 1 shows a graph 66, which shows, on the one hand, the presence of high voltage pulses 67, generated ("fired") by these non-lethal weapons, and times without activity (TI, T2, T3 .... Tn), supplied by Pulse Detector 44, to the Radio Frequency Sensor 41, so that it activates the Antenna / Sensor system 31 and 33 (Figure 7), and can make measurements of critical physiological parameters, in those lapses 68, so that later, they are integrated by the Signal Extractor / Integrator 42 (Figure 7 ), as shown by the reconstructed signal 69, of similar characteristics to the original 61.

 [00210] Thus, in Figure 7, this data is passed to the Interactive Dispatcher / Alarm Classifier 43, so that the most critical physiological patterns such as the presence of artificial electronic assistants 39 (Pacemakers, etc.), or the presence of overlapping fetal beats 57, or near or triggered critical states of ventricular fibrillation 58; and the corresponding alarms are sent, to Microprocessor 50, through Contact 46a; so that the shot is blocked and / or the discharge levels are conditioned ("shot"), on target 60, to avoid severe damage or death of the subject / target.

This non-limiting schematic model of the application of the innovative criteria of this invention; It refers to a possible human objective, whose heart is in severe risk states.

[00214] Figure 15 illustrates, in a non-limiting and schematic manner, a flow chart of the most commonly used block of components known in the art, from the output generating the "shots" (high voltage pulses, in non-limiting form), normally constituted by an Exit Transformer (55), for the implementation of this type of "non-lethal immobilization and capture weapons", type "Taser"; presenting the basic components of this invention, with its corresponding flow and insertion / interconnection diagram, with the different possible alternative configurations to convert into Transmission Antenna / Sensor 31 (TX) 32 and Receiving Antenna / Sensor 33 (RX) systems ) 34, to conductive cables 26 and 27, used in current art. Conventional components of the prior art are illustrated with "dotted" (non-continuous) strokes; while the components and parts of the device of the invention are illustrated in continuous lines.

[00215] Thus, diagrams 71, 72 and 73, present in a non-limiting way, different application models, to convert the current Conductor cables 26 and 27, of the current art; in true Transmission 31/32 and Reception 33/34 systems, with positioned attachments and at full wavelength or fractional distances, of the frequencies used from the Radio Frequency Sensor 41, guaranteeing a distance not less than one meter, from the Darts 28 and 29, to achieve a "broad irradiation cone", which allows to obtain cardiac reading, mainly, but not in a limited way; regardless of the position in which the last spheres are fixed on the target (human / animal).

 [00216] In the non-limiting diagram 71, a design is presented, in the indicated sector, giving a concentration of curled cable of 26 and 27, and painted with an 'electromagnetic effect enhancing or favoring material, such as graphite, which tends to behave like a small "helical" type antenna.

[00217] In the non-limiting diagram 72, there is a design, in the indicated sector of the cable 26 and 27, of a graphite tubing, which tends to facilitate the resonance conditions at that site thereof. [00218] In the non-limiting diagram 73, an insert design of a graphite micro toroid is presented, which will be wound, in the indicated sector, a part of the cables 26 and 27, individually, to achieve the effects of desired antenna / sensor.

[00219] Thus, diagrams 74, 75, 76, 77 and 78, present in a non-limiting way, different application models, modifying the Conductor cables 26 and 27, of the current art; making them partially "bifilar", extending the cables 47 and 48 that are connected to the Radio Frequency Sensor 41, to achieve the necessary Transmission and Reception objectives.

 [00220] Thus, diagram 75 exemplifies, in a non-limiting manner, the implementation of a "micro-parabolic drop-down antenna", on a second cable added to 26 and 27, extending cables 47 and 48 that are connected to the Sensor. Radio Frequency 41, which with the impulse of the shot and effect of the frontal air, 76 will be deployed, aiming at the human or animal target.

 [00221] On the other hand, diagram 77, exemplifies in a non-limiting way, the implementation of another type of "micro antenna", grouping the second cable extending cables 47 and 48 that are connected to the Radio Frequency Sensor 41.

[00222] Finally, diagram 78 exemplifies, in a non-limiting manner _, the implementation of another type of "micro antenna", twisting the second cables 47 and 48 that are connected to the Radio Frequency Sensor 41.

[00223] Figure 16 illustrates, in a non-limiting and schematic manner, an exemplary configuration of this type of "non-lethal immobilization and capture weapons" technologies and devices, which commonly operate by means of high voltage ¹ pulse discharges; impure in its design, with the innovations involved in this invention as indicated by the device or Block 20 of the invention.

 [00224] The signals 81, transmitted by the Radio Frequency Sensor 41, of Figure 7, are projected to the target 37, returning reflected signals 82, which according to their type of variation, will be interpreted, within the Device or Block 20 , exemplary in a non-limiting manner of this invention, to generate an indication of Interactive Alert 80 (visual, audible, etc.), and modify and / or condition the functional parameters of non-lethal weapons 2-5, to safeguard the life of the target 38.

[00225] Figure 17 illustrates in a non-limiting and schematic way, a diagram where the presence of a time slot 79, (TI) existing in a usual manner while performing, for example, the tasks of pointing and deterrence to a target potential 37, with these non-lethal weapons 25 (Figure 16).

 [00226] This time 79 (TI), is the one existing before a trip is made ("NMI" discharge, etc.), causing the presence of the first High Voltage Pulse Pl, then generating a new time, without electrical activity T2, and so on (Tn), during the time that the Pulse train is extended, which configures each shot (discharge) of these non-lethal weapons 25.

[00227] Figure 18 illustrates, in a non-limiting and schematic manner, an exemplary configuration of this type of "immobilization and capture" non-laminar weapons and devices 25, which commonly operate by means of high voltage pulse discharges; implemented in its design, with the device or block 20 according to The present invention. They are also shown as a non-limiting example, an application where the implementation of these innovations, allows detecting or continuing to detect, at the average distance D2, once the Cable 26 assembly has been triggered, operating as Antenna / Sensor 31, Transmitter (TX) 32, and Dart 28, and Cable 27 assembly, operating as Antenna / Sensor 33, Receiver (RX) 34, and Dart 29 (discharge of high voltage electrical pulses) of 25; special physiological data 57, of a possible human objective 56, which is pregnant, according to indication 57, presenting special cardiac states 38 ("superimposed fetal beat", for example).

 [00228] These special physiological readings are obtained by signals 81, transmitted by the Radio Frequency Sensor 41, of Figure 7, which are projected to objective 56, returning reflected signals 82, which according to their type of variation, will be interpreted-, within the Device or Block 20, exemplified 'in a non-limiting manner of this invention, to generate an indication of Interactive Alert 80 (visual, sound, etc.), and modify and / or condition the functional parameters of the weapons not lethal 25, to safeguard the life of objective 56, especially protecting life in formation that houses, much more sensitive, the type of discharges caused by lethal weapons 25.

 [00229] All this happens, when even the objective 56, has not been reached by Darts 28 and 29, subtracting cover the distance jump D3, to impact it.

[00230] Figure 19 shows in a non-limiting manner, as all this occurs, while time 79 (TI) passes, after which, when Darts 28 and 29 hit, on target 56, once the additional distance D3 has been traveled , closing the electrical circuit on it and activating only at that time, the train of High Voltage Pulses ("ΝΜΓ, etc.), which begin with Pl. [00231] For its part, Figure 20 illustrates, in a non-limiting and schematic manner, an exemplified configuration of this type of "non-lethal immobilization and capture weapons" technologies and devices 25, which commonly operate by means of high voltage pulse discharges. ; implemented in its design, with Device 20 of the present invention. In this application as a non-limiting example, the implementation of the present innovations of this invention is shown, in order to detect before, during or after the end of the trip (discharge of high voltage pulses, "NMI, etc.) generated from a non-lethal weapon 25; special physiological states 59, of a target 60, that can modify or block the form of discharge ("firing") of these non-lethal weapons 25, generating Alarm 80 signals, for the operator thereof, with interactive detection of physiological critical conditions, such as those near a "Ventricular fibrillation 58, for example.

 [00232] These detections, which produce simultaneous and interactive modifications, on non-lethal weapons 25, through the interaction of the functional criteria of this invention, in a non-limiting manner, operating on the basic circuits for generating electric shock pulses (" Shooting "), thereof; they are achieved by actuating the Cable 26 assembly, operating as Antenna / Sensor 31, Transmitter (TX) 32, which emits signals 81, and the Cable 27 assembly, operating as Antenna / Sensor 33, Receiver (RX) 34, which receives the signals 82, at an average distance D5, for example in the order of 1 meter, of the target 60, remaining at the distance D4, which separates it to the non-lethal weapon 25.

[00233] The distance D5 is the one that has resulted in a non-limiting way, being the most appropriate, based on experiments, as to propose a possible application model of this invention; since in that way, dispersion angles of antenna lobes can be achieved, which allow to cover the functional physiological zones keys, such as the heart area, even if Darts 28 and 29 have been anchored, in distant or inappropriate places on target 60, for that purpose.

 [00234] Figure 22 illustrates, in a non-limiting and schematic manner, an exemplary configuration of this type of "non-lethal immobilization and capture weapons" technologies and devices 25, which commonly operate by high voltage pulse discharges; in which the Device or Block 20 of the invention is implemented. In this application as a non-limiting example, the implementation of the present innovations of this invention is shown, in order to detect before, during or after the end of the trip (discharge of high voltage pulses, "NMI, etc.) generated from a non-lethal weapon 25; normal physiological states 84, of a target 60, which could be modified, from the application of the discharge ("firing") of these non-lethal weapons 25, modifying the normal states of Alarm 80, for the operator of these, with the interactive detection of physiological critical states, such as those near a "Ventricular fibrillation 58, for example.

[00235] Figure 23 is a diagram that allows us to better understand that the interactive detections and measurements, successive to those made during the period 79 (TI), are repeated between times T2, after the discharge of the High Voltage Pulse ( start of "Shot") Pl, and so on.

[00236] On the other hand, Figure 24 illustrates ¹ in a non-limiting and schematic way, an exemplary configuration where more than one weapon, in this case two application weapons of application, are presented in the same scene, on the same target 60 this invention, ie "non-lethal immobilization and capture weapons" 25, referred to as "A" and "B", which commonly operate by high voltage pulse discharges; and incorporating the Protective Device 20 of the present invention. In this application as a non-limiting example, the implementation of the present innovations of this invention, in one case, in which the non-lethal weapon "A" (25) has detected that the target 60 has been placed in critical condition 59, close, for example, to "ventricular fibrillation" 58, adjusting from the operating criteria of this invention, with the Device or Block 20, interactively the functional parameters of the device 25.

 [00237] Almost simultaneously, the carrier of the non-lethal weapon "B" (25) would be presented, to try to fire (send a discharge of high-voltage pulses, "NMI", etc.), on the same target 60, in critical state of survival 58; it turns out that by pointing "B" (25), signals 81 and 82, would indicate through the functional principles of the invention, inserted into the non-lethal weapon 25; the critical state 58, with the presence of Alarm 80.

 [00238] For its part, Figure 25 illustrates in a non-limiting and schematic way, the measurement process, which is carried out by means of the implementation of Device 20 of this invention, on the non-lethal weapon "A" (25); during periods or periods 63 (TI, T2, T3, T4, Tn), to record the critical state of objective 60; while in Figure 26, it is shown as the non-lethal weapon "B" (25), detects in advance, at the time of aiming, before firing ("TI"), the presence of critical state 58, of objective 60 , receiving Alarm 80.

[00239] Figure 27 illustrates another situation in schematic form where it can be understood that even having generated the "expulsion" of Darts 28 and 29 of the non-lethal weapon "B" (25), and having anchored them on the target 60, in critical condition 58, for example "ventricular fibrillation" 59, the principles of non-limiting operation of this invention by means of Device 20, would cause "Blocking" 85, of this weapon, avoiding accelerating a process close to death of objective 60, or present situations that are difficult to justify, related to the abuse of force. [00240] Despite "Blocking" 85, of the non-lethal weapon "B" (25), it is expected that the operator of the same, has the option, also "unlock" of the Trigger (49, in Figure 7), for cases of force majeure. This special activation could be operated, by means of a "double" trigger, or by unlocking another switch on the non-lethal weapon 25. A special record of what would be being developed could also be initiated at that time, for later research purposes.

 [00241] For its part, Figure 28 illustrates in a non-limiting and schematic way, the measurement process, which is carried out by the Device 20 of the invention, on the non-lethal weapon "A" (25); during halftime 63 (TI, T2, T3, T4, Tn), to record that critical state of objective 60; while in Figure 29, it is shown as the non-lethal weapon "B" (25), it has been maintained in the space of time ("TI"), without causing the "firing" of electric shock pulses, "NMI" , etc; on target 60, but having been launched and anchored in the body of this, Darts 28 and 29.

[00242] Figure 30 illustrates, in a non-limiting and schematic manner, an exemplary configuration of this type of "non-lethal immobilization and capture weapons" technologies and devices 25, which commonly operate by high voltage pulse discharges; incorporating or implemented in its design, with the innovations involved in this invention, that is, with the Device or Block 20; for an operation of operation / execution of "multiple shots (discharge of high voltage pulses," NMI ", etc.)", normally defined as "repetition" or "multishot" where the different sets basically constituted by cables and darts; they can be solidary physically and electrically connected to the weapon, or be ejected and disconnected, at the end of each shot ("discharge of high-voltage electrical pulses). A functional diagram is not limitative of the application criteria of the device 20 of the invention, I ran three differentiated objectives, where "D" 37, refers to possible urf objective, which has in its body an electronic cardiac assist device (pacemaker, etc.), which is detected and classified, by means of the application parameters of Device 20, in a non-limiting manner, by indication 39. On the other hand, " E "56, refers to a possible pregnant target, which has in its body a fetal presence, which is detected and classified, by means of the application parameters of Device 20, in a non-limiting manner, by indication 57. Finally," F "60, refers to a possible objective, which is in a critical physiological state, close to" ventricular fibrillation ", which is detected and classified, by means of the application parameters of Device 20, in a non-limiting manner, by indication 58 The latter, too, has been given the suffix "n", indicating that this criterion of application of this invention could be extended to a greater number of similar devices.

 [00243] Thus, with the same constitutive systems, which make up the main blocks, in a non-limiting manner of this invention; this multi-shot application could be supported (high voltage pulse discharges, "NMI", etc); using a corresponding set of Pulse Detectors, Cables operating as Antenna / Sensor (Transmitter and Receiver), basically.

 [00244] Thus, for the example presented with the objective "D" 37, the set of Pulse Detectors 35a and 36a, will transmit the detected signals, by cables 45a and 46a; where the Antennas / Sensors, implemented in the cables, would operate as Transmitter "TX" 47 a and Receiver "RX" 48 a.

[00245] Thus, for the example presented with the objective "E" 56, the set of Pulse Detectors 35b and 36b, would transmit the detected signals, by cables 45b and 46b; where the Antennas / Sensors, implemented in the cables, would operate as Transmitter "TX" 47 by Receiver "RX" 48 b. [00246] Finally, for the example presented with the objective "F" 60, the set of Pulse Detectors 35c and 36c, would transmit the detected signals, by cables 45c and 46c; where the Antennas / Sensors, implemented in the cables, would operate as Transmitter "TX" 47c and Receiver "RX" 48c. For other configurations of known art, where the generating output of this "repetition" or "multishot" shooting capability (multiple electrical discharges, in a non-limiting manner), is operated from a single Output management device, such as a "SWITCH" (Switch), instead of multiple Output Transformers (for example); The set of Pulse Detectors, Cables, Antennas and Sensors could also be minimized.

[00247] Finally, Figure 31 illustrates in a non-limiting and schematic way, by way of example, the most typical configurations containing such technologies and devices of "non-lethal immobilization and capture weapons" 25, which commonly operate by high voltage pulse discharges, with the possible external mounting alternatives, as an accessory added to the current known art, of the Protective Device 20 of the invention, which can also be incorporated, in generic form, on the body of a lethal weapon (of fire).

 [00248] Thus, a possible upper external assembly 96, would allow fixations in anchors normally provided for aiming elements (such as telescopic sights, etc.), intermediate modules 97 and 98, could be coupled to the body of the non-lethal weapon 25, integrating the technology of this invention, and allowing from them, the assembly and disassembly of other mobile accessories, as they are typically for example, the "cartridges containing the set of Cables and Darts" 100, etc.

[00249] Finally, considering the accessories of Recording Cameras, in their different types, which has the current art of these non-lethal weapons 25, a possible integration of the technology of this invention, integrated together with an accessory, is presented 99.

 [00250] Figure 32 illustrates, in a non-limiting and schematic way by way of example, the most typical configurations, which contain such technologies and devices of "non-lethal immobilization and capture weapons" applied to the so-called "Stun Gun" 22, which commonly operate by means of high voltage pulse discharges, with the possible external mounting alternatives, as an accessory added to the current known art, of the Protective Device 20 of the invention, which can also be incorporated, in generic form, on the body of a weapon of the same or different type.

 [00251] Thus, a possible upper external assembly 94, which extends the electrodes thereof, or a lower application 95, in the "cylinder head" of these devices.

[00252] Figure 33 illustrates, in a non-limiting and schematic way by way of example, the most typical configurations, which contain such technologies and devices of "non-lethal immobilization and capture weapons", configured as an "electrified machete" 23, which commonly operate by means of high voltage pulse discharges, with the possible external mounting alternatives, as an accessory added to the current known art, of the Protective Device 20 of the invention, which can also be incorporated, in generic form, on some part of the body of the weapon or machete. For example, it may be a possible upper external assembly 94 extending the electrodes thereof, or a lower application 95, in the "cylinder head" of these devices.

[00253] In accordance with yet another embodiment of the invention, Figure 34 illustrates in a non-limiting and schematic manner, a flow chart of the most commonly used and arranged block of known components for the implementation of this type of " non-lethal weapons of immobilization and capture ", type" Taser ", that to Descriptive titles are shown in dashed lines (not continuous), and are synthesized in Source 52, which is connected to Switch / Switch 51, which sends energy to Transformer 53, which loads Capacitor 54, whose output produces the pulses of high voltage used in this type of devices, through the Output Transformer 55; all this activated by Trigger 49, which derives its command signal to Microprocessor 50, which controls all the functions and parameters of the device; with greater functional detail and insertion / interconnection of the methods, systems and technologies involved in this invention. More particularly in accordance with this embodiment, a Defibrillator Module 40 is introduced, presenting its interaction with current art, and highlighting the provision that this defibrillator module provides in the assistance of the affected individual. Conventional components are illustrated in dashed or "dotted" lines (not continuous); while the parts of the invention are shown in continuous lines.

 [00254] In this way, a non-limiting diagram of the functional criteria of this invention is presented, in a schematic model, referring to a possible Human Objective 60, whose Heart 59 generates a "cardiac signal of serious imminent risk", such as for example, a "Ventricular Fibrillation" box, indicated with reference 61, warning about the need to implement a "cardiac defibrillation" process immediately, that is, a special high-voltage discharge train that can be provided through of module 40 of the invention.

[00255] Also according to another embodiment, Figure 35, graphically in synthetic and non-limiting form, the same functional diagram of Figure 34, where the possibility of integration of all the innovations of this invention, including the Module, is detailed Defibrillator 40 within the Microprocessor (s) 50, normally constituting the basic circuits of weapons and non-devices lethal, which mainly operates by means of discharges from pulses of electric energy ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, hand held, type "machete / baton electrified ", etc.) as" Taser "weapons in all possible versions and presentations.

[00256] Figure 36 illustrates, in a non-limiting and schematic way by way of example, the most typical configurations, which contain such technologies and devices of "non-lethal immobilization and capture weapons" 25, already implemented with the technologies involved in this invention; where the detection of a critical state with life risk is detailed, 58 such as "Ventricular Fibrillation", for example, and the possibility of switching and activating the integrated Defibrillator Module 40, operating (discharging high voltage pulses), through the Cables / Darts of the normally removable "Refill Cartridges" 100, of these devices.

[00257] Figure 37 illustrates, in a non-limiting and schematic way by way of example, the most typical configurations, which contain this type of non-lethal "weapons" technologies and devices for immobilization and capture "25, already implemented with the technologies involved in this invention, where the detection of a critical state with life risk is detailed, 58 such as "Ventricular Fibrillation", for example, and the possibility of switching and activating the integrated Defibrillator Module 40, operating (discharging the pulses high voltage), through the Cables 102 and Contacts 103 of a compatible and interchangeable Unit 101, with the normally removable "Cartridges" of recharge, of these devices, on a human target 60 or animal at risk of life.

[00258] Finally, according to yet another alternative embodiment of the invention, Figure 38 illustrates, in a non-limiting and schematic manner, a flow chart of the most commonly used component block and arranged in the known art, for the implementation of this type of "non-lethal immobilization and capture weapons", type "Taser"; presenting components of this invention, with the optional aggregate of the Defibrillator Module and its corresponding interaction with its corresponding flowchart and insertion / interconnection, with the current art; highlighting, more particularly in accordance with this embodiment, the possibility of detecting and warning remotely, about possible states of Alert, related to the physiological parameters of an operator of the Security Forces, "Law Enforcement", etc. "88, of Security forces, "Law Enforcement", etc. Thus, thanks to the physiological parameter detection mechanisms integrated in this invention 20, applied in a non-limiting manner to this type of "non-lethal immobilization and capture weapons", type "Taser", in a non-limiting way 25, the latter is presented, in the "resting" situation 87, which could be configured to detect and transmit by means of communication available in the current art 89 ("M2M", WiFi, ZigBee, GPRS, etc.), to give notice in a non-limiting way, to a Control Center 90; permanently, information on its basic functional physiological parameters or special states of Alert 58, through the wireless signals 81 and 82, which would receive this data from the heart 59, which would be transmitted. On the other hand, thanks to the physiological parameter detection mechanisms integrated in this invention 20, applied in a non-limiting way to this type of "non-lethal immobilization and capture weapons", type "Taser"; in a non-limiting manner 25; the case of the operator of the Security Forces, "Law Enforcement", etc. "88, of the Security forces," Law Enforcement ", etc., is presented in the" porting "situation 86, on which They could configure biometric identification and recognition parameters, which would only allow the activation and use of these devices to their assigned owner.

[00259] As it appears from the previous description, one of the main objectives of the present invention, is to "save lives" in environments of use of "non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate primarily by discharges from pulses of electrical energy or other types of energy and emissions developed or developed for that purpose, but not in a limiting way, as it could be applied to lethal devices and weapons "; It only focuses on the survey, detection, monitoring, measurement, etc., of the fundamental parameters, which can determine in the highest percentage, the physiological conditions (human and animal), capable of causing them to be irreparable and / or death.

 [00260] What we are trying to obtain, are basic, fast and effective data, that serve to "feed back" automatically and / or manually, the conditions of unloading ("firing"), of "non-lethal weapons and devices, that operate mainly by means of pulses of electrical energy, but not in a limiting way, since it could be applied to lethal devices and armaments "; so that lives can be saved, fundamentally.

 [00261] However, since the scope of the present invention contemplates it, it is intended to protect all kinds of possible applications of survey, detection, monitoring, measurement, etc., of the physiological parameters and conditions (human and animal), which may be added for this or other purposes, on this type of "non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate primarily through discharges from pulses of electrical energy, but not in a limited way, as it could be applied to lethal devices and armaments."

[00262 As also indicated, the present invention may use Doppler Radio Frequency Sensor technology, known in English as "Radio Frequency Doppler Sensor", already disseminated in the current art, which for that reason is not detailed and is the most recommended ¹ } to implement one of the application models of this invention, focused on the detection of "cardiac signals", in a non-limiting manner; as the mechanism of distance capture of critical physiological signals, of the objective (human or animal).

 [00263] Without going into further analysis of these matters that are well known in the art and will not be examined in detail in this invention; It is important to note that all these circuits and methods are economical, capable of providing very accurate physiological readings and are easily integrated into the current technology of weapons and non-lethal devices, which operate mainly through discharges from pulses of electrical energy (" NMI ", etc.), but not limited to, type" Stun Gun "(in its different presentations and models, handheld, type" machete / electrified baton ", etc.) as" Taser "weapons in all Possible versions and presentations.

[00264] As seen above, the invention provides methods, systems and technologies; that integrate and adapt ^'intelligent and interactive, and physiological mechanisms detection / biometrics, as well as mechanisms, methods, systems and technologies alert; within the "non-lethal weapons and devices, which mainly operate through discharges from pulses of electrical energy, but not in a limited way."

[00265] One of the risks of applying these non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate mainly through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun" (in their different presentations and models, of hand, type "machete / baton electrified", etc) like the weapons type "Taser" in all the possible versions and presentations; It is related to the application of these levels of high voltage pulses, on targets (human or animal) that may carry in their bodies, electronic stimulation systems artificial heart (pacemaker, etc.).

 [00266] There are different types of cardiac pacemakers or electronic assistants, which are normally permanently implanted under the skin, which by means of an electronic circuit emitting electrical pulses, which when reaching the heart through electrodes also implanted, regulates the rhythm of the heartbeat It is used to produce a normal heart rhythm and is susceptible to being affected or interfered with by any external electronic equipment, especially those that can generate high voltage pulse discharges.

 [00267] Many pacemakers not only stimulate the heart when necessary, but also know how to recognize the heart's own signals to react to them as scheduled. The detection of these signals is carried out by the invention, as described, through the mentioned cables, which behave like antennas. Through these antennas, it can also receive signals external to the heart, which can act as interference, and which can compete with the normal functioning of the pacemaker, generating serious risks. The levels of protection that current pacemakers and cables have are usually resistant to the most common external interference; but not for the level of interference and close discharge of high voltage, which present any of the non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate mainly through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not in a limited way, "Stun Gun" type (in its different presentations and models, hand-held, "machete / electrified baton" type, etc.) as the "Taser" type weapons in all possible versions and presentations.

[00268] That is, in any case that high-voltage pulse discharges ("shots") occur, from non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate primarily through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI"), etc), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, handheld, type "machete / electrified baton", etc.) as "Taser" type weapons in all possible versions and presentations ; about objectives (human or animal) that these electronic cardiac assistants possess in their organisms, their life will be in danger.

 [00269] On the other hand, the Police, Military, Penitentiary, Private Security, Law Enforcement, etc .; they are absolutely incapacitated, of being able to prevent such cases, as to avoid or modify an action against these "special" objectives, which could end with an unfortunate deadly balance and a strong social condemnation.

 [00270] Unfortunately, this story is consistent with a large number of registered cases, where¾ the action of these devices caused death or serious damage to the target (human or animal) to which one or more discharge of high pulses was given tension, with these weapons and non-lethal devices, which operate mainly through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("ΝΜΓ, etc.), but not limited to, type" Stun Gun "(in its different presentations and models, handheld, type "machete / electrified baton", etc.) as "Taser" type weapons in all possible versions and presentations.

 [00271] All electronic cardiac assistants generate and emit electrical signals, which can be recognizable and detected; for its differentiation with the natural physiological impulses and emissions of the human body (and animals too), basically.

[00272] On the other hand, there are '^' less widespread pacemaker technologies called "on demand", which are activated by sending heart rate pulses, only when they detect abnormalities, generated by stress, nervous tension, distress, etc.; that cause the person (or the animal) to modify the parameters that should be appropriate for the device.

[00273] According to the experiences and statistics, these tables specifically, without exception, are those generated in situations related to the use of these weapons and non-lethal devices, which mainly operate through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI" , etc.), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, handheld, type "machete / electrified baton", etc.) as "Taser" type weapons in all possible versions and presentations; therefore, the signals of this type of artificial pacemaker would also become easily recognizable, in the subject harassed / involved in these situations. " ^{1 ',?}

 [00274] One of the methods, systems and technologies of this invention, is then to provide these devices, and therefore the forces of Police, Military, Private Security Prisoners, "Law Enforcement", etc., that the operate of an intelligent system of recognition of targets (human and animal) that have implanted electronic pacemakers, even at a time before the discharge ("fired") of the high voltage pulses originates, after the activation of the weapons and non-lethal devices, which operate mainly through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not in a limited way, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, hand-held, type "machete / electrified baton ", etc.) as" Taser "type weapons in all possible versions and presentations, blocking or modifying their discharge pattern (" NMI ", etc.), to minimize the life risks of the recipient of these downloads.

[00275] In another of the applications involved in this invention, considering the detection capability of "ECG" and / or "circuits, devices and methods" special detectors such as those mentioned above; The use / introduction of these non-lethal weapons and devices is foreseen, which mainly operate by means of discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun", in its different presentations and models, hand-held, "machete / electrified baton" type, etc., such as "Taser" weapons in all possible versions and presentations; of the detection mechanisms of fetal beats superimposed on the main ones, which are detected from the target subject (human or animal), to interact with the high voltage discharge pulse emission systems of these weapons, blocking them or modifying them to minimize damage physiological and / or avoid lethal risks.

 [00276] It is clear that in addition to how aberrant it would be to act on these or any weapons on pregnant women; It is scientifically proven, the much greater sensitivity of the fetus to the effects of an electric shock.

[00277] On the other hand, through the incorporation of this invention, they can be detected even before the discharge of high voltage pulses from these weapons is generated, on the target (human or animal); all possible anomalous cardiac states or that could indicate a previous state that would lead to a severe risk of lethal consequences.

[00278] Without going into the detail of art already known, for example, in the Latin American Congress of Biomedical Engineering, which was held in Havana, Cuba, in May 2001, doctors and specialists Dr. Roberto Montero Herrera, Daniel Jiménez González, María del Carmen Raola Iglesias, Alberto Rodríguez Gómez, of the Central Institute of Digital Research of Havana, Cuba; presented one of the simple methods to detect implanted pacemakers in people (as well as anomalous / overlapping pulses), with the title "DETECTION OF MARCAPASOS IN RECORDING PORTABLE EQUIPMENT ", through the use of band pass filters that allow the ECG signal and the pacemaker signal to be discriminated.

 [00279] Similarly, there is an unfortunate history, of serious incidents and / or deaths, triggered "a posteriori", that there were discharges of these weapons and non-lethal devices, which operate mainly through discharges from pulses of energy electrical ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to, type "Stun

Gun "(in its different presentations and models, hand-held, type" machete / electrified baton ", etc.) as" Taser "weapons in all possible versions and presentations; on human or animal targets, by frames such as" fibrillation atrial / ventricular ", which led to cardiac arrest and death.

 [00280] Beyond the most common parameters of cardiac risk, which can be induced and / or triggered, by the intrusion into the organism (human or animal), of electrical discharge pulses ("NMI", etc.); There is an important list of possible physiological states of consideration, which are easily recognizable and detectable by circuits, systems and methods of "ECG", very recognized in current art and science, whose denominations, by way of example only, are:

 [00281] - Cardiac Arrhythmias:

 [00282] · Sinus Tachycardia:

 [00283] · SINUSAL BRADICARDIA:

 [00284] · HEADPHONES FIBRILATION:

 [00285] · HEADPHONE FLUTER:

 [00286] - Arrhythmias of atrial / ventricular origin:

 [00287] · RATE OF THE AV UNION OR NODAL RHYTHM:

[00288] · AV OR NODAL UNION TACHYARD: [00289] • HEADPHONE / VENTRICULAR CONTRACTIONS

 [00295] • AURICULO-VENTRICLUAR LOCK:

[00297] • AV block 3 ^or grade.

 [00298] • FASCICULAR BRANCH LOCK:

 [00299] • PREEXCITATION SYNDROMES:

 [00300] Thus, in another of the applications involved in this invention, considering the detection capability of the "ECG" circuits, devices and methods and / or special detectors such as those mentioned above; The use / introduction of these non-lethal weapons and devices, which mainly operate through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations) and models, of hand, type "machete / cane electrified", etc.) like the weapons type "Taser" in all the possible versions and presentations; of mechanisms, systems and technologies more specific yet, well known in the art, to be able to determine with greater precision and anticipation, at least, we are the most dangerous physiological, which precede in the generality of cases, pictures near death (of the person or animal object), such as cardiac arrest, etc. ^

[00301] For reference purposes only, possible circuits have been described to be fully or partially integrated into these non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate mainly through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun", in its different presentations and models, handheld, type "machete / baton electrified", etc. , such as "Taser" weapons in all possible versions and presentations; based for example, in US Patent 3,612,041; called "APPARATUS FOR DETECTING VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION", of October 12, 1971. Other possible applications of use, total or partial, for the described implementations, may also be the technology disclosed in US Patent 6,434,417 Bl of Eric Lovett, called "METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING CARDIAC DEPOLARIZATION "or in the results of the IV Latin American Congress on Biomedical Engineering 2007, Bioengineering Solutions for Latin America Health, IFMBE Proceedings, 2008; Volume 18, Part 1, 61-64, DOI: 10.1007 / 978-3-540- 74471-9 15, with the title Ventricular Fibrillation Detection Algorithm Based on Phase Space Reconstruction with Variable Delay, by José Francisco Sáenz Cogollo and J. Bustámante / Written by Carmen Müller-Karger, of the North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology.

[00302] On the other hand, through the incorporation of this invention, it will be possible to detect even before the discharge of high voltage pulses from these weapons, on the human or animal target, all possible anomalous cardiac states or that could indicate a previous state that would lead to a severe risk of lethal consequences. ^one

[00303] The methods, systems and technologies of this invention are then to provide these devices, and therefore the forces of Police, Military, Prison, Private Security, - "Law Enforcement", etc. to operate them; of an intelligent system of recognition of human and animal objectives that they possess altered or serious risk physiological states, at a time prior to the discharge or "firing" of the high voltage pulses, during the discharge and at the end of it after the activation of the weapons and non-lethal devices, which operate mainly by discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("ΝΜΓ, etc.), but not limited to, type" Stun Gun "(in its different presentations and models, hand, type" machete / baton electrified ", etc. .) as the "Taser" type weapons in all possible versions and presentations, blocking or modifying their download pattern ("NMI", etc.), to minimize the life risks of the recipient of these downloads.

 [00304] All these systems and technologies of non-lethal devices are characterized, among other things, by having pointing elements, such as lasers, flashlights, etc .; which are normally activated by the operator, prior to having to generate a trip (download). The methods, systems and technologies, involved in this invention, can be activated in conjunction with the pointing action, allowing the device developed with this novel technology, to begin to detect physiological states and eventual alerts, both manually and / or automatically, that would condition the type of electric shock pulse pattern to be provoked, on the target (human or animal), or block the "firing", indicating to the user, that it would be a special situation.

[00305] On the other hand, documented cases are unfortunately abundant, where human or animal targets, receiving "shots" (high voltage pulse discharges or other technologies referred to as "non-lethal" or "little lethal") of this type of weaponry; they have passed to extreme physiological states, such as "ventricular fibrillation," followed by death. In cases like these, the exclusive solution, accepted, by all the World Health and Emergency Committees, is based on the prompt application of a pulse system of electric shocks on the heart area, normally described as "Defibrillators" devices. In the millionaire lawsuits and prohibitions of use, that suffer the designers and manufacturers of these generations of types of non-lethal armaments, such as the most widespread generically under the denomination, type "Taser"; it is argued that the security forces ("Law Enforcement", etc.) that use them, should be "compulsorily" equipped, with "Defibrillators" devices, in order to save a life, in cases, in which frequently, the use of this type of weapons; unleash these irreversible pictures, without the use of this technology. Now, for costs, practicality, response time, space, mobility and many other factors; It would be impossible to supply each of the members of the security forces ("Law Enforcement", etc.) with a Defibrillator equipment. In addition, the focus of situations and environments, in which members of the security forces ("Law Enforcement", etc.), are deployed carrying this type of armaments should not be lost; where they are fundamentally prepared and predisposed to face situations of aggression, where they will seek to effectively and promptly reduce suspicious targets, etc. That is, it would not be logical or possible, to think, that the forces of the security forces ("Law Enforcement", etc.) could be forced to face situations of aggression, in potentially life-threatening environments, acting for the common good; "Before" acting, remember to take a cardiac resuscitation team with you, to be potentially used before your "aggressors, suspects, etc".

[00306] Thus, this invention basically allows the inclusion of the defibrillator module, reusing some characteristics of the typical functional circuits of these non-lethal Weapons, Taser type, etc .; in a non-limiting way; how part of the main circuit or as an external accessory adaptable to them.

[00307] The fact of "carrying" this capability in their own weapons, together with the benefits of my invention, which allow the detection of these life-threatening states (such as ventricular fibrillation, for example); it will allow the security forces ("Law Enforcement", etc), to perceive these cadres, to have "at hand" an element of emergencies and rescue / resuscitation, in the same place where they are, immediately to the "victim"; thus optimizing the possibilities of recovering it, once the integrated technology has been used, as an integrated "Defibrillator" method.

 [00308] The history of human losses in these environments is documented, and this solution, added to the "non-lethal armament" (in a non-limiting way), would allow for a prompt response and recovery attempt, in cases finally caused by the use of weapons of this type or another, or simply spontaneous pictures of heart accidents on public roads, etc .; where a carrier of these non-lethal armaments and devices, in a non-limiting manner; I could act, with the goal of saving lives.

[00309] Even for configurations of weapons and non-lethal devices, which operate primarily through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, hand-held, type "machete / electrified baton", etc.) such as "Taser" weapons in all possible versions and presentations, which are designed with the ability to "repeat" downloads, using heads with terminals / contacts / electrodes / cables / darts / etc .; differentiated, as to be able to make a second, third or more shots (discharges), on the same or different objectives (human or animal), where this capacity would also be used, to this application, of the integrated defibrillator module, in cases of emergency. There, a new shot could be made, considering more appropriately, the area to be hit with the "darts", "switching and activating" the operation of the integrated defibrillator module; to emit pulses of electrical recovery in the heart area of the subject in question.

[00310] In special cases, this integrated defibrillator module could even be used to attempt to recover in an emergency environment from an operator of the Police, Military, Prison, Private Security, Law Enforcement, etc., or for a third party, who is in that critical state, without another nearby resource, to try to save his life. Generating a new "shot of the darts" at close range, seeking a better positioning of the same around the heart area or having an interchangeable head system, provided with special contacts for this purpose, such as those used in the current art in "Portable Defibrillators" devices. This "Interchangeable device for defibrillating function ^i", and similar anchor mounting sites where exchanged or connect the various systems and cable assemblies Darts; it is also constituted as a clear innovation in the industry, since it is not registered, a similar element throughout the World. It can be a "passive" system, which basically improves the conditions of contact and electrical coupling, between the device, and the body of the person in cardiac emergency; using the internally appropriate little circles, in these weapons and non-lethal devices, which operate mainly through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, of hand, type "machete / cane electrified", etc.) like the weapons type "Taser" in all the possible versions and presentations; thus modifying the pattern of discharge of the same ("NMI", etc.), so that they generate high voltage pulses, of typical "cardiac defibrillators" characteristics.

 [00311] On the other hand, for the cases, where the technology of the internal circuits of these weapons and non-lethal devices, which mainly operate by discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not in limiting form, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, hand-held, type "machete / electrified baton", etc.) as "Taser" type weapons in all possible versions and presentations, have not been updated with the technological incorporations and innovations that I propose in this set of novelties and inventions; The innovation and incorporation of a new type of "Exchangeable head / cartridge" is presented, with similar characteristics to those carried by the set of "Darts / Cables", within which, in addition to the latter, it has a set of " Cables / Contacts ", an" active "circuit is integrated (may include additional source of energy), which interacting externally with the non-lethal armament, type" Taser "in a non-limiting way, generates the" defibrillator electrical pulses "required for these cases of emergency.

[00312] Additionally, and innovating mainly in the care and protection of the operator of the Police, Military, Prison, Private Security, Law Enforcement, etc .; and considering the facilities of current art, in terms of communication mechanisms, and remote measurement and remote control technologies ("Machine to Machine" or "M2M"), the innovation of being able to use them is presented, to transmit physiological parameters normal and / or abnormal (such as an emergency card for "cardiac arrest", for example), of an operator of a non-lethal weapon and / or device, which operate primarily by discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI"), etc.), but not fit limiting, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, hand-held, type "machete / electrified baton", etc.) as "Taser" type weapons in all possible versions and presentations; being able to give an alert, for example, to a Control Center, type "911", etc., about the medical emergency, providing the location to seek the assistance of a close colleague, etc.

 [00313] This detection capabilities of certain physiological states that this invention adds to the traditional non-lethal weapons and devices industry, which operate primarily by discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI, etc.), but not limited to , type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, hand-held, type "machete / electrified baton", etc.) as the "Taser" type weapons in all possible versions and presentations; it would allow not only to alert and monitor the physiological state of the operator, but also, to be able to create "personalization and recognition" parameters, which link these with the user, so that only that person can operate the non-lethal device / weapon, in all its forms, of non-limiting way.

[00314] However, this invention is not limited to applying these readings and monitoring of vital / biometric physiological functions (such as ECG, etc.), to interactively feedback and modify the type of discharge pattern of these weapons and devices. lethal, which operate mainly by discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, hand, type "machete / baton electrified" , etc.) as "Taser" weapons in all possible versions and presentations; but also contemplates the "simultaneous" implementation (while high voltage pulse discharges occur), of these methods, using other mechanisms of easy isolation of the related problem at the risk of damaging sensors and detectors, in relation to the high circulating voltage, mainly.

 [00315] As described above, the present invention contemplates and protects the use of other methods of measurement, detection, etc. remotely, with or without physical contact with the person or animal, of vital parameters, such as heart rate, breathing, etc., for other applications, where the support of contacts / electrodes / darts / will not be used etc. to position the antennas at a suitable distance from the subject (human or animal), the introduction of methods, systems and technologies such as those known as "Ultra-wideband Radar Methods and Techniques of Medical Sensing and Imaging" are presented; which facilitate more complex readings, which can operate at effective distances of the order of 7.5 Mtrs.

 [00316] Portable developments such as those presented on October 10, 2005; by the University of California and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, are a good example of the possibilities of integration of these circuits, to be able to interact in another form of presentation, with the protected functional principles of this invention.

[00317] On the other hand, there are already preliminary advances, such as those presented, by MIT graduates (Ming-Zher Poh), where with a simple WEB camera (WEBCAM), they were able to record at a distance, heartbeats, and others in the future vital signs, based on changes in brightness and color of the analyzed subject.

[00318] Because of problems related to the evidence of the type of use that was given to these non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate mainly through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("ΝΜΓ, etc.), but not in form limiting, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, handheld, type "machete / electrified baton", etc.), such as "Taser" weapons in all possible versions and presentations; Many manufacturers and developers have included Cameras in them; therefore the present invention also contemplates and protects the possibility that they are optimized and remotely determine physiological readings such as ECG and abnormal states; and that these data can interact to regulate the type of download pattern generated, considering for the first time, the organic response of the objective (human or animal).

[00319] All systems, methods and technologies, used by "non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate primarily through discharges from pulses of electrical energy (" NMI ", etc.), but not in a limiting manner; they are based on basic defense / attack criteria, which start from the permanent targeting of the subject, to reach direct contact, in a distance management environment, scalable from hand-to-hand fighting, the handling of "white" weapons and firearms . Resulting latter the most comparable to the "non - lethal weapons and devices, operating ^'primarily through discharges from power pulses (" NMI ", etc.), but not limited to ; where, according to statistics and experiences, the greatest number of armed confrontations and gunfire are recorded at distances of a few meters, where you can keep "focused" within the field of attack / aim of a weapon, to the target.

[00320] As has been clearly explained, the "non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate primarily through discharges from pulses of electrical energy (" NMI ", etc.), but not in a limited way; type" Stun Gun "(in its different presentations and models, hand-held, type "machete / electrified baton", etc.) such as "Taser" weapons, operate from direct contact, up to several meters of the target (human or animal), in the latter cases, by the use of cables and metal darts that conduct the electrical discharge pulses to it. [00321] However, it is difficult to achieve a low impedance electrical coupling, between the contacts / electrodes or "darts" that conduct these high voltage electrical pulses, and the skin surface (of the human being or an animal); where especially in the case of the human objective, clothing, adds a series of layers of separation and isolation, of consideration.

 [00322] But, developers and manufacturers around the World, of the various non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate primarily through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not in a limited way; "Stun Gun" type (in its different presentations and models, hand-held, "machete / electrified baton" type, etc.) as the "Taser" type weapons in all possible versions and presentations; taking advantage of the "high voltage pulses" generation capabilities of these devices; they use the principles of "ionization of the air", to achieve that their discharges reach the objective, by means of the "spark jump" that thus establishes a conduction circuit that crosses the body of the objective. Of course, the present invention, as described, finds suitable application in this type of weapons.

[00323] Specifically, when these various non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate primarily by discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not in a limited way; "Stun Gun" type (in its different presentations and models, hand-held, "machete / electrified baton" type, etc.), such as "Taser" weapons in all possible versions and presentations; they "fire", an electrical circulation circuit is closed, typically characterized by: the output of the high voltage pulse generating source of the activated device, which then reaches its contacts / electrodes integral thereto or remote by means of cables and darts; which then ionize the air between them and the target's skin, to circulate through their body, until reaching the other contact / electrode / dart ionizing the air and returning to close the circuit in the device.

 [00324] It is very unlikely that when using these varied "non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate primarily by discharges from pulses of electrical energy (" NMI ", etc.), but not in a limiting way; type" Stun Gun " (in its different presentations and models, hand-held, type "machete / electrified baton", etc.), such as "Taser" weapons in all possible versions and presentations; direct electrical contact can be achieved, between its terminals ( contact / electrode / dart / etc.) and the body / skin of the target (human or animal).

[00325] This invention takes advantage of the means of "permanent approach and aiming," which typically exists in the application of the methods, systems and technologies of these various non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate primarily through discharges from pulses of electrical energy. ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, handheld, type "machete / electrified baton", etc.), such as "Taser" weapons in all possible versions and presentations; to achieve the insertion of methods, systems and technologies that enable automatic or manual interaction with these devices, adjusting and conditioning their operating parameters, with the fundamental objective of avoiding abuse, permanent damage and saving lives.

[00326] As it has also been deciphered above, 'among the main innovations involved in this invention, is the use of the time spaces, which are generated between the emission ("shots") of high voltage pulses, which caused for these varied "non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate primarily through discharges from pulses of electrical energy (" NMI ", etc.), but not in a limited way; type" Stun Gun "(in its different presentations and models, of hand type "machete / electrified baton", etc.), such as "Taser" weapons in all possible versions and presentations; to achieve the desired immobilization effects.

[00327] That is, the invention takes advantage of those periods of time or "between times" in which there is no electrical activity in these devices, to interact and convert to their contact terminals, electrodes, darts, cables, functional circuits, etc. , in a true method, system and technology for interactive monitoring of the physiological vital functions of the target (human or animal), which is being "shot" or is already being emitted ("firing") high discharge pulses tension, taking advantage of the level of contact, closeness and permanent focus on it.

[00328] However, given that there are possible methods, systems and technologies, capable of registering remotely even with independent sensor systems and / or antennas (without using terminals, cables and darts, for this purpose), physiological risk parameters for life, which are mainly considered in this invention, the invention also provides and protects the concept of allowing the blocking and / or interactive adjustment of the electrical emissions of these non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate mainly by discharges from pulses of electric power ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to; "Stun Gun" type (in its different presentations and models, hand-held, "machete / electrified baton" type, etc.), such as "Taser" weapons in all possible versions and presentations; manually or automatically; to reduce the levels of lethal risks, depending on the anticipated reading, during and after a pulse discharge caused by them, on a target (human or animal).

[00329] Both for one of the possible applications of this invention, which lies in the use of contact terminals, electrodes, darts, cables, functional circuits, etc .; to turn them into a true method, system and technology of interactive monitoring of the physiological vital functions of the target (human or animal), which is being "shot" or the applications described above, based on independent systems; in a non-limiting manner to the protections of this invention, it is considered that it will be more appropriate and convenient in terms of production, to use, as a priority, the proposed methods, systems and technologies, to take advantage of the "between times" in which there is no electrical activity in These devices, to perform these "interactive corrective readings", optimizing the levels of consumption and recharging of these units and protecting environments of possible electromagnetic interference and / or damage to electronic circuits due to over voltage risks.

[00330] The contact terminals, electrodes, darts, cables, etc., of these non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate primarily by discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to , type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, hand-held, type "machete / electrified baton", etc.) as the "Taser" type weapons in all possible versions and presentations; they start to behave like Sensors, Antennas and Waveguides, that through a "High Voltage Pulse Detection System", active / passive with inductive / capacitive coupling, etc., operating as an "amperometric clamp", detecting the presence of high voltage pulses, on the terminals of these devices, for example, and a "Signal Integrator", is capable of collecting fundamental physiological readings to protect physical integrity and protect life, of the objective (human or animal) involved , blocking or modifying the discharge patterns of high voltage pulses ("NMI", or other denominations, according to the manufacturer), interacting with their generation systems, manually and / or automatically. [00331] The whole "High Voltage Pulse Detection System" (active / passive), is based on simple principles known in the art, where it is not justified to expand with bibliography; where circuit diagrams and designs abound, with alternatives of inductive / capacitive coupling / etc, or operating actively as a "micro amperometric clamp", where the passage of the current generated by the High Voltage Pulses would also serve to synchronize , the activation and blocking of the measurements that are carried out, in a non-limiting way in this invention, with the "Radio Frequency Sensor".

 [00332] Similarly, and for reference only, of a possible non-limiting application, referred to this invention, the circuits disclosed as "Pulse Detector" may be mentioned in Published Patent Application No. 20010045822; or the so-called "Signal Pulse Detector", - disclosed in US Patent 3898481.

[00333] In relation to the "Signal Integrator" system, several developed circuit options are found in current art, based on simple principles, well known from the art, of abundant application, for example, in the Integration and Reconstruction stages of signals, in "Spread Spectrum" circuits, regardless of the frequency in which they operate. There are interesting, but not limiting, reference points regarding the application criteria of this invention, being in these "Spread Spectrum" circuits, designs that allow fractional information to be sent, between noise pulses, which is then reconstructed. In any case, and only for a non-limiting reference of a possible application of the constituent criteria of this invention, a design ¹ called "ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT FOR THE COUPLING OF MODULATED SIGNALS IN HIGH FREQUENCY PULSE WIDTH WITH GALVANIC INSULATION" can be mentioned , presented by the UNIVERSITY POLITECNICA DE VALENCIA, from Spain, Valencia; whose inventors, PEREZ MARTINEZ, JUAN JOSE. GUIJARRO ESTELLES, ENRIQUE, present in the output stages of these circuits "signal reconstruction" systems, applicable to these possible designs, related to the present invention patent. (Patents granted on 07/24/1997, with the Main Classification: H03K7 / 08, H03K9 / 08).

[00334] Similarly, the "High Voltage Pulse Detection System" may be synchronized with the pulse generation system, which is normally based on these devices, on a Microprocessor, which controls all the functions thereof. . In this way, if both were arranged simultaneously, they could operate to provide redundant or protective information, in the event that either of them fails.

[00335] Assuming that direct contact between the skin of the subject (human or animal) and the contacts / electrodes / darts / etc. is almost never generated. of non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate primarily through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, handheld, type "machete / electrified baton", etc.) as "Taser" type weapons in all possible versions and presentations; as to guarantee an electrically conductive coupling of low impedance; The use of physiological state detection mechanisms that do not require this level of direct contact is privileged. However, the protection in this invention of more restricted applications is not ruled out, nor does it cease to be claimed, where these direct contact levels can be used, more related to the typical "Stun Gun" applications, where the operator supports contacts / terminals / electrodes / etc; in uncovered areas of the subject's body, such as the neck of the human being, for example. [00336] On the other hand, based on my investigations and statistics, added to the training methods to which the Police, Military, Prison, Private Security, "Law Enforcement", etc., forces are normally subjected to the application of These non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate primarily by discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, hand, type "machete / electrified baton", etc.), such as "Taser" weapons in all possible versions and presentations; There are more typical areas where the terminals, electrodes, contacts / darts / etc. of the same are applied on the body of the target (human or animal).

[00337] The typical and most widespread constitution of non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate primarily through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun" (en its different presentations and models, of hand, type "machete / baton electrified", etc.) like the weapons type "Taser" in all the possible versions and presentations; They are based on the following main elements: a cabinet that houses a Power Source (normally rechargeable Batteries or 9 Volt Batteries), which is connected directly or through a "Switch" to a Primary Transformer that raises the voltage, to deliver it to a Capacitor that generates the pattern of electric discharge pulses, which are led to the Output Transformer which is the one that finally causes the high voltage pulses, achieving energy levels of the order of the tens of "Joule" for each transmitted pulse ; Once the Trigger is activated through a Microprocessor, which finally controls the "Switch" and releases the electric shock, once the circuit of electrical circulation between the terminals / contacts / terminals / electrodes is established / darts / etc., of the device and the subject's body (human or animal).

 [00338] In modern systems of weapons and non-lethal devices, which operate primarily through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, hand-held, type "machete / electrified baton", etc.), such as "Taser" weapons in all possible versions and presentations; The "Microprocessor" stage is also used to verify the conditions of electrical continuity between the terminals / contacts / terminals / electrodes / darts / etc., of the device and the subject's body, normally established through the ionization effect of the air, conform to the type of high voltage pulse pattern ("NMI", etc.) to emit, verify and optimize energy expenditure, etc.

 [00339] Making the innovations set forth in this invention, part of the unloading (firing) circuits of these non-lethal immobilization and capture devices, type "Taser"; they would behave as Sensors and Antennas, which through a "High Voltage Pulse Detection System" and a "Signal Integrator", would be able to collect fundamental physiological readings to protect physical integrity and protect life, from the objective (human or animal) involved, blocking or modifying discharge patterns of high voltage pulses ("NMI", etc.).

[00340] As previously mentioned, there are different ^" types of methods, systems, details of designs and technologies for remote monitoring of functions such as ECG, respiratory rate, movement detection, etc .; very effective and proven, free use and adaptation, which could be included in this invention, so that they provide other physiological indications, so that they interact with the discharge generation systems ("shots") of these "non-lethal" devices, in non-lethal form limiting

 [00341] Based on the inventor's investigations, it has been possible to "insert / insert" different types of reading and monitoring signals, during the non-transmission spaces between the "high voltage pulses", which after being integrated, reconstruct fundamental physiological readings, capable of modifying the types and levels of these discharges ("NMI", etc.), propped up by these non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate mainly through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc. .), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, handheld, type "machete / electrified baton", etc.), such as "Taser" weapons in all possible versions and presentations, on a body (human / animal).

 [00342] Today, most of the non-lethal weapons and devices, which operate primarily through discharges from pulses of electrical energy ("NMI", etc.), but not limited to, type "Stun Gun" (in its different presentations and models, of hand, type "machete / baton electrified", etc.), like the weapons type "Taser" in all the possible versions and presentations; they have microprocessors in their circuits, which could perfectly support most of the main circuits involved in this invention, at high production scales.

[00343] All these known technologies of different sensors described, ECG, Pacemaker Detectors, etc. It is available in the current art, in degrees of electronic niiniatufización, at the microchip level, or integrable at the software level, to devices such as Microprocessors, with remaining processing capacity. This facility would allow to implement the innovations of this patent, in production lines, at a very low cost, and with an enormous added value of differentiation, by creating a new category of non-lethal weapons methods, systems and technologies. "interactive", of high citizen acceptance.

 [00344] On the other hand, there are nowadays, proven and varied "contactless" technologies and monitoring methods, which provide the same type of information, on the same main physiological functions, such as heart rate, respiratory readings, movements bodily, etc., of human beings and animals, but operating at a distance. Again, these technologies and monitoring methods are contemplated for use with the present invention.
