The invention concerns a method and a base station (21) for controlling beam forming in a mobile cellular network: Antenna units (212) of base stations (21) of a cluster of neighbored base stations (21) apply a respective beam pattern sequence on each sector of a cell served by the respective base station (21). The beam pattern sequence is selected from a respective predefined set of beam pattern sequences and each beam pattern sequence defines a sequence of beam subsets used for communication with mobile units (41, 42, 43, 44). One of the base stations (21) of the cluster which acts as trigger base station informs all neighbored base stations of the cluster of neighbored base stations (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27) not to change their beam pattern sequences. The trigger base station (21) controls the antenna unit (212) of the trigger base station (21) to change the beam pattern sequence applied on the sectors of the cell and sequently apply two or more different beam pattern sequences of the predefined set of beam pattern sequences on the respective sector. The trigger base station (21) triggers one or more mobile units (41, 42, 43, 44) located in the cluster of neighbored base stations to calculate one or more signal quality parameters for currently applied beam pattern sequences of the trigger base station (21). The trigger base station (21) selects an optimal beam pattern sequence from the set of the predefined beam pattern sequences based on the one or more calculated signal quality parameters and the antenna unit (212) of the trigger base station (21) applies the optimal beam pattern sequence as a new beam pattern sequence on the respective sector.

A stun gun having an electrically insulated protuberance that extends to a height above the line between the vertical terminations of the exposed electrical target contacts. Before the weapon's target probes can be brought in contact with the target, the insulative protuberance compresses the target's muscle. This action shortens the length of the muscle while increasing the area of tissue involved in a subsequent shocking discharge. This, in turn, increases the likelihood of a sustained involuntary flexing or extending contraction of the muscle. A rectangular ammunition bay may be placed in the weapon with a portion of one partially exposed probe touching the ammunition's negative contact and a portion of the other partially exposed probe touching the ammunition's positive contact. In the event of a ballistic deployment failure, without the addition of any circuitry, the weapon can still act as a manual contact weapon.
