Nevada Patent of the Month – July 2024
Advanced Materials and Devices, Inc. (AMAD) has secured a new patent for their wearable multi-directional blast sensor (MDBS). Unlike traditional sensors, this device integrates multiple pressure sensors arranged in different planes within a single unit. This allows simultaneous measurement of blast pressure from various directions, enhancing accuracy and reliability in assessing blast exposures. Coupled with blast parameter sensors and an analog-to-digital converter, the MDBS captures detailed pressure data in real-time, crucial for understanding blast dynamics.
Encased in a robust housing, the MDBS ensures durability and reliability in diverse environments, maintaining acoustic impedance compatibility with its surroundings. It features sensory indicators—visual, audible, or tactile—that promptly alert wearers to blast magnitudes, aiding in timely response and injury prevention. Furthermore, its advanced controllers manage data storage and event triggers efficiently, leveraging rolling memory buffers to capture pre and post-blast data sequences.
Medical professionals benefit significantly from the MDBS’s capability to record and analyze blast parameters such as pressure and acceleration. This data informs critical medical decisions, contributing to databases that correlate blast exposure with health outcomes like Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The device’s operational versatility extends to personnel, animals, structures, and vehicles, ensuring comprehensive blast monitoring across various applications.
Moreover, the MDBS employs AI and machine learning algorithms to enhance trigger accuracy, mitigating false alarms and optimizing data collection during blast events. Its integrated display provides immediate feedback on exposure levels and operational status, facilitating real-time monitoring and post-event analysis. By combining innovation with practical functionality, AMAD sets a new standard in blast sensor technology, paving the way for safer environments and informed decision-making in blast-prone settings.
