  • Patent number: 10527487
    Abstract: This invention provides a highly-sensitive, high-frequency, soft-polymer vibrations sensor that is integrated with the artwork and logo's currently utilized in equipment to make the sensor(s) unobtrusive. Low-power electronics with the ability to capture and analyze specific signals of concern are utilized as to increase the operational lifetime of the system and decrease the number of re-charge or battery changes per match. High-frequency vibration data is captured and stored locally on the equipment where user-defined code can analyze data and pick specific parameters of concern to send via the wireless communications link to a receiver. The receiver is able to capture the data and re-construct events of interest. This architecture reduces the power and bandwidth requirements of the device while maintaining functionality and the ability to transmit and report parameters and incidents of interest.
