Abstract:
A conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) impedes locomotion of a human or animal target by providing a stimulus signal through the target via one or more electrodes. The CEW includes a propulsion system. The propulsion system provides a force that launches the one or more electrodes toward the target to deliver the stimulus signal. The propulsion system includes a canister of pressurized gas, an anvil, and a manifold. The canister releases the pressurized gas. The manifold delivers the pressurized gas to the electrodes to launch the electrodes. The canister has a cavity and an opening. A lid seals the opening to retain the pressurized gas in the cavity of the canister. The lid includes notches to fill the cavity with the pressurized gas.

Claim (Index 1):
A deployment unit for cooperating with a conduced electrical weapon to provide a stimulus signal through a human or animal target to impede locomotion of the target, the deployment unit comprising:\n one or more wire-tethered electrodes, the one or more electrodes positioned in the deployment unit prior to a launch of the one or more electrodes; a canister having a cavity therein and an opening, the opening in fluid communication with the cavity; a lid having a plurality of notches along a circumference thereof, the lid for sealing the opening to retain a pressurized gas in the cavity of the canister; wherein:\n prior to placing the canister into an atmosphere of the pressurized gas:\n the lid is positioned over the opening and welded to the canister along a first portion of the circumference of the lid; \n the lid is welded to the canister along the first portion of the circumference of the lid to seal the lid and the notches of the first portion of the circumference; \n the notches of a remaining portion of the circumference remain in fluid communication with the cavity; \n \n after placing the canister into the atmosphere of the pressurized gas:\n the pressurized gas from the atmosphere enters the cavity via the notches of the remaining portion; \n the remaining portion of the lid is welded to the canister to seal the lid and the notches of the remaining portion thereby sealing the opening to retain the pressurized gas in the cavity; and \n \n after the canister is removed from the atmosphere of the pressurized gas and positioned in the deployment unit, the canister is pierced to release the pressurized gas to launch the one or more electrodes from the deployment unit toward the target to provide the stimulus signal through the target to impede locomotion of the target.
