  • Device and system for ultrasonic transmission of accelerometer data
    Patent number: 11948442
    Abstract: A system for detecting impacts includes a housing configured to be worn by a user. An accelerometer is connected with the housing. The accelerometer is configured to detect an acceleration indicative of an impact experienced by the user. An inaudible tone chip is positioned about the housing. The inaudible tone chip is configured to transmit ultrasonic tones including data of the impact to a remote device. A remote device includes a receiver. The receiver is configured to receive the ultrasonic tones transmitted by the inaudible tone chip.
