The present invention concerns a hit detection equipment, usable by a fighter and an opponent for martial arts such as taekwondo, karate or boxing, comprising a central device, a valid surface, for example a jersey and/or a helmet, and at least one authorized surface, for example a glove and/or a shoe. Said valid surface comprises at least one conductive surface and said authorized surface comprises two conductive structures insulated from each other, intertwined with each other over the entire said authorized surface, and each connected to an electrical terminal, and configured so that a contact of said authorized surface on a conductive surface creates a short circuit between the two conductive structures. The present invention also concerns a method for detecting a hit struck by a fighter on an opponent, for martial arts such as taekwondo, karate or boxing, each equipped with an equipment according to the invention.

Mouth Guard Having Low-Profile Printed Circuit Board For Sensing And Notification Of Impact Forces

A mouth guard senses impact forces and determines if the forces exceed an impact threshold. If so, the mouth guard notifies the user of the risk for injury by haptic feedback, vibratory feedback, and/or audible feedback. The mouth guard system may also remotely communicate the status of risk and the potential injury. The mouth guard uses a local memory device to store impact thresholds based on personal biometric information obtained from the user and compares the sensed forces relative to those threshold values. The mouth guard and its electrical components on the printed circuit board are custom manufactured for the user such that the mouth guard provides a comfortable and reliable fit, while ensuring exceptional performance.

RUNNING METHOD DETERMINATION DEVICE, RUNNING-METHOD DETERMINATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM

A running method determination device includes at least one processor that executes a program stored in at least one memory. The at least one processor acquires motion data at a time of running of a user, calculates, based on acceleration data in multiple axial directions included in the acquired motion data, a sum of acceleration vectors in the multiple axial directions as a resultant vector, and determines a type of a running method of the user using at least an angle of the calculated resultant vector as a standard of determination.
