Helmet with patch antennas to detect, prevent, and minimize head concussion

摘要

A helmet with wireless sensor system for monitoring of surrounding objects. The helmet with wireless sensor system comprises a wireless transceiver connected to a number of patch antennas to transmit a particular signal and receive reflected signals from surrounding objects, a processing unit that uses the information from reflected signal received by wireless transceiver to calculate the speed, distance, and direction of the object to determine when and where an impact will occur, and a number of inflatable/deflatable pads installed on the helmet and external to the helmet that will be activated prior to an impact.

1. A helmet with wireless sensor system for monitoring and detection of impacts to helmet from surrounding objects, said helmet with wireless sensor system comprising:
a wireless transceiver to transmit a particular signal and receive the reflected signals from surrounding objects through a number of patch antennas; a processing unit that uses the information from reflected signals received by the wireless transceiver through the patch antennas to calculate the speed, distance, and direction of the surrounding objects to activate pads installed on the helmet and external to the helmet before an impact occurs.
