Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassF41A 017/06AbstractActuation of the firing mechanism of a firearm is prevented until grip pattern sensing means on the handgrip of the firearm supply to a microprocessor signals corresponding to a grip pattern stored in a programmed simulated neural network memory. All of these components are contained within the firearm. Programming of the neural network memory is accomplished by using a host computer with a simulated neural network to train that network to recognize a particular grip pattern using grip pattern signals generated by the grip pattern sensing means as the sensing means is repeatedly gripped for the person for whom the firearm is to be programmed. | |
