SUMMARY:
Ballistic Impact Detection System,
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
A wearable ballistic impact protection
system detects impacts to a body. The system includes multiple sensors
for detecting vibration. The sensed vibrations are converted to
electrical signals which are filtered. Electronic components are
provided to determine whether the filtered signals have frequency and
amplitude characteristics of impact that cause injury to a body.
Preferably, the sensors are Piezoelectric film sensing elements.
Information regarding the extent of the impact and injuries to the body
may be transmitted to a remote location so that medics or other
personnel may be informed to the extent of injuries to the body so that they may provide medical assistance.
