Abstract

Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, and methods for monitoring the status of an implement at a mount. A communications channel may be established between a mount (e.g., holster) telematics device and local and/or remote monitoring service components, sometimes by means of intermediary devices. When the telematics device detects that its associated firearm is removed from its holster, the change in status can be reported to the local and/or remote system.

IPC Classes  ?

• F41C 33/02 - Holsters, i.e. cases for pistols having means for being carried or worn, e.g. at the belt or under the arm
• F41C 33/04 - Special attachments therefor

Abstract

Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, methods, and machine readable media for activating a portable camera in response to the activity of a firearm. A communications channel may be established between a firearm telematics sensor and a video camera, sometimes by means of intermediary devices. When the telematics sensor detects that its associated firearm is removed from its holster, or in motion, or being discharged, it may signals the camera to initiate recording.

Abstract

Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, methods, and machine readable media for using a charging device for delivering electrical power to components of a firearm. The charging device may be shaped to resemble an ammunition magazine. This form facilitates a simple and secure connection to the firearm by repurposing magazine attachment mechanisms already present on or within the firearm. The charging device may be inserted into the firearm while it is not in use, providing power to the firearm's electronics and/or batteries thereof. The charging unit is then removed, leaving the firearm mechanically unchanged and ready for normal operation and use.

IPC Classes  ?

• F41A 9/62 - Magazines having means for indicating the number of cartridges left in the magazine, e.g. last-round indicators

Abstract

Disclosed herein are devices/apparatuses, systems, methods, and machine readable media for implementing and using a system for identifying an individual who discharged a firearm, and for recording, assessing, identifying, and transmitting information related to the firing of a firearm. More specifically, the present invention relates to firearm telemetry, and includes assessing the predictive nature of a trigger- pull and associated activities, which are unique to individual users when firing a weapon. Using the techniques described herein, it is possible to uniquely identify the individual that fired a firearm.
