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 13):
A method for launching one or more wire-tethered electrodes toward a human or animal target to provide a stimulus signal through the target to impede locomotion of the target, the method comprising:\n positioning a lid over an opening of a canister, the canister having the opening and a cavity therein, the opening in fluid communication with the cavity, the lid having a plurality of notches along a circumference thereof, the plurality of notches in fluid communication with the cavity; after positioning, placing the canister into an atmosphere of a pressurized gas, the pressurized gas from the atmosphere enters the cavity via the notches; while the canister is in the atmosphere of the pressurized gas, sealing the lid to the canister thereby sealing the opening to retain the pressurized gas in the cavity; after removing the canister from the atmosphere of the pressurized gas, piercing the canister to release the pressurized gas retained in the cavity to launch the electrodes toward the target; and after launching, providing the stimulus signal through the target via the electrodes to impede locomotion of the target.
