  • Patent number: 8608112
    Abstract: A programmable electronic initiation device that monitors flight parameters to accurately initiate parachute disreefing or disconnect. Tracking elapsed time commencing with a startup trigger and directly measuring atmospheric conditions; temperature and pressure are used for altitude or speed calculations in addition to monitoring the acceleration sensor and liquid contact sensor for impact sensing. The device is user programmable via a software application for initiation based upon elapsed time, altitude, speed, and/or upon landing. The device may also be separated into a sensing module and an actuating module, and linked wirelessly to allow control of one or multiple actuating modules by one sensing module.
