Estimating the term…
An apparatus is provided for recording information about an event resulting in application of a force to a body. The apparatus comprises data recording means for recording the information, sensor means for sensing a parameter which enables a predetermined source of force to be distinguished from another, predetermined source of force, and control means responsive to the sensed parameter for controlling the data recording means. The sensor means may comprise a pressure sensor for sensing shockwaves resulting from an explosive force and the resulting signal used to distinguish from other events, such as blunt impacts. The pressure signal may be used to control the storage of acceleration data for injury analysis.
An apparatus for recording data, comprising a substrate, one or more components mounted on said substrate, and additional means for resisting relative movement between said substrate and said one or more components and/or for resisting relative movement between two or more components and further comprising a bracket or other mounting means for mounting said apparatus to a helmet.
An apparatus for recording data, comprising a substrate, one or more components mounted on said substrate, and additional means for resisting relative movement between said substrate and said one or more components and/or for resisting relative movement between two or more components, wherein at least a portion of said apparatus has a face for placing against the exterior surface of the shell of a head protector and at least partially conforms to the shape of the shell.
An apparatus for recording data, comprising a substrate, one or more components mounted on said substrate, and additional means for resisting relative movement between said substrate and said one or more components and/or for resisting relative movement between two or more components and further comprising a pressure sensor, and an aperture for exposing said pressure sensor to atmospheric pressure.
