Abstract
A tamper indication device has a film attached and connected within the circuit that generates a signal in response to a tamper event. The tamper indication device can be incorporated into a bullet proof vest. The sensor circuit in the bullet proof vest does not only detect a bullet strike but also determines the location of the strike base in the sensor zone where the sensor zone has been struck. This circuitry includes a cell phone module with a built in GPS sensor for supplying GPS coordinates and communicating by dispatcher with the vest wearer's name and other identifying information.
Claims12
A device for monitoring and indicating when a flexible film has been broken or penetrated by an unauthorized individual at a time of the tampering, comprising:
- a tamper indication device having a tamper indicating flexible film laminate attached thereto and connected within a circuit that includes an electrically conductive sensor circuit that generates a signal in response to a penetration of said film and therefore penetration of said circuit, said tamper indication device being imprinted with printable conductive ink onto at least portions of a bullet proof vest to provide separate sensor zones on said bullet proof vest to determine a bullet penetration and a location for said bullet penetration based on which of said separate zones is struck and
- a transponder for receiving said signal which generates an output signal to a display or data collection device, or radio and transceiver to provide a continuous automated passive monitoring of a penetration in the flexible film laminate to provide information as to a penetration in said film laminate and where said penetration has occurred in which of said sensor zones.
