摘要： A helmet blastometer for characterizing the direction, speed, magnitude, and duration of a blast event to determine the likelihood of blast-induced traumatic brain injury (biTBI). Time of arrival (TOA) gage sensors are mounted on a rigid outer shell of the helmet each producing a TOA signal in response to a fast rising blast induced positive pressure change above a predetermined threshold. A receiver analyzes the positive pressure changes from the gages to determine direction, speed, and magnitude of a blast. Other TOA gauge sensors can be used to produce a TOA signal in response to a negative pressure change below a predetermined threshold. The positive and negative pressure change TOA signals are used to determine blast duration. A second set of internal contact pressure sensors is connected to an inner liner of the helmet to detect contact pressure on a user's head to determine if biTBI has been sustained.

摘要： A combination acoustic and flash suppression system and method for use with a weapon that fires a bullet. A noise suppressor module or section of the system is adapted to be connected to a distal end of a barrel of the weapon, and a flash suppressor module or section of the system is adapted to be connected to the outlet end of the noise suppressor module, so that the downstream position of the flash suppressor module relative to the noise suppressor module helps to disrupt a Mach disk from forming at a downstream location from the discharge port when a bullet fired from the barrel exits from the discharge port so as to suppress both flash and noise.

摘要： A first optical receiver and a second optical receiver are provided for receiving a calibrate command and a power switching signal, respectively, from a remote processor. A third receiver is provided for receiving an analog electrical signal from a transducer. A calibrator generates a reference signal in response to the calibrate command. A combiner mixes the electrical signal with the reference signal to form a calibrated signal. A converter converts the calibrated signal to an optical signal. A transmitter transmits the optical signal to the remote processor. A primary battery supplies power to the calibrator, the combiner, the converter, and the transmitter. An optically-activated switch supplies power to the calibrator, the combiner, the converter, and the transmitter in response to the power switching signal. An auxiliary battery supplies power continuously to the switch.

摘要： A passive blast pressure sensor for detecting blast overpressures of at least a predetermined minimum threshold pressure. The blast pressure sensor includes a piston-cylinder arrangement with one end of the piston having a detection surface exposed to a blast event monitored medium through one end of the cylinder and the other end of the piston having a striker surface positioned to impact a contact stress sensitive film that is positioned against a strike surface of a rigid body, such as a backing plate. The contact stress sensitive film is of a type which changes color in response to at least a predetermined minimum contact stress which is defined as a product of the predetermined minimum threshold pressure and an amplification factor of the piston. In this manner, a color change in the film arising from impact of the piston accelerated by a blast event provides visual indication that a blast overpressure encountered from the blast event was not less than the predetermined minimum threshold pressure.

摘要： A helmet blastometer for characterizing the direction, speed, magnitude, and duration of a blast event to determine the likelihood of blast-induced traumatic brain injury (biTBI). A set of external sensors, each having one or more time of arrival (TOA) gages, is mounted at various positions on a rigid outer shell of the helmet. Each external sensor includes a first TOA gage that produces a TOA signal in response to a fast rising blast induced positive pressure change above a predetermined threshold. These positive pressure change TOA signals are received by a receiver and analyzed to determine direction, speed, and magnitude of a blast. At least one of the external sensors may also include a second TOA gauge that produces a TOA signal in response to a negative pressure change below a predetermined threshold. The positive and negative pressure change TOA signals from the same external sensor are used by the receiver processor to determine blast duration. In another embodiment, a second set of internal contact pressure sensors is connected to an inner liner of the helmet to detect contact pressure on a user's head. Preferably, the receiver processor determines that a biTBI has likely been sustained by when one or more of the blast direction, speed, magnitude and contact pressure has satisfied a predetermined biTBI threshold, upon which a biTBI warning indicator may be triggered.
