Abstract: This invention provides a low-profile, highly-sensitive, high-frequency sensor that can be affixed to equipment. Low-profile electronics with the ability to capture and analyze specific signals of concern can be utilized as to remain unobtrusive. Vibration data can be 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 monitor parameters of the equipment.

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.
