Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an air-speed sensor, system and monitoring process This sensor generally comprise a sensor casing having a leading surface and distinctly oriented input ports. Each input port can independently capture respective air pressure and connects to a pressure sensor that independently measures that air pressure digital processor connects to each pressure sensor and can digitally compute pressure ratios between the input ports and compare these ratios against designated pressure ratios corresponding to designated incident airspeed angles of incidence to output an airspeed incident angle and airspeed accordingly.
Claims23
An airspeed sensor comprising:
- a sensor casing having a leading surface and having plural distinctly oriented input ports defined therein to capture a respective air pressure at each one thereof;
- respective pressure sensors disposed within said casing in fluid communication with respective ones of said input ports to sense said respective air pressure for each one thereof;
- a digital processor operatively coupled to each of said pressure sensors to digitally compute respective pressure ratios between said input ports and compare said ratios against designated pressure ratios corresponding to designated incident airspeed angles of incidence to output an airspeed incident angle and airspeed accordingly.
An airspeed sensing system comprising:
- an airspeed sensor comprising plural distinctly oriented input ports to capture a respective air pressure at each one thereof;
- respective pressure sensors in fluid communication with respective ones of said input ports to sense said respective air pressure for each one thereof;
- a digital processor operatively coupled to each of said pressure sensors to digitally compute respective pressure ratios between said input ports and compare said ratios against designated pressure ratios corresponding to designated incident airspeed angles of incidence to output an airspeed incident angle and airspeed accordingly.
A helmet comprising:
- an integrated airspeed sensor comprising plural distinctly oriented input ports to capture a respective air pressure at each one thereof, and respective pressure sensors in fluid communication with respective ones of said input ports to sense said respective air pressure for each one thereof, wherein each of said pressure sensors are configured for operative coupling to a digital processor to digitally compute respective pressure ratios between said input ports and compare said ratios against designated pressure ratios corresponding to designated incident airspeed angles of incidence to output an airspeed incident angle and airspeed accordingly.
An athletic component comprising:
- an integrated airspeed sensor comprising plural distinctly oriented input ports to capture a respective air pressure at each one thereof, and respective pressure sensors in fluid communication with respective ones of said input ports to sense said respective air pressure for each one thereof, wherein each of said pressure sensors are configured for operative coupling to a digital processor to digitally compute respective pressure ratios between said input ports and compare said ratios against designated pressure ratios corresponding to designated incident airspeed angles of incidence to output an airspeed incident angle and airspeed accordingly.
