Sounds like patent infringement. Maybe you should email that info to Bob Ferris.

Very good point.

Actually the patent is not only for the so called "threat-fire belt",.
The last paragraph of the patent reads:

11. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said electrical impulse element is utilized in combination with a laser-based training system, said laser-based training system including a torso harness worn by said user, said torso harness containing infrared detectors, and said laser-based training system further including a weapon that outputs infrared energy, said laser-based training system is configured to produce a device activation signal upon detection of said infrared energy from said weapon by one of said infrared detectors, and said method further comprises:

receiving, at said electrical impulse element, said device activation signal from said laser-based training system via a communication link; and
generating, at said impulse generator, said non-disabling electrical pulse in response to said received device activation signal for delivery to said user via said pair of electrodes.


Not an expert, but this sounds like an infringement indeed.
Gunther, as the finder you should inform Bob Ferris, make sure to copy to Rudi Muller!!
