Systems and methods of determining pressure wave exposure
11624276 · 2023-04-11 · ·

A pressure dosimeter can include a body-mountable housing comprising a well having a first end portion open to the atmosphere, a second closed end portion, and a cavity. The dosimeter can include a membrane assembly disposed within the cavity, and a sealing member disposed within the cavity between the membrane assembly and the second end portion. The membrane assembly has a diameter less than a diameter of the cavity and a thickness less than a height of the cavity such that it can move within the cavity allowing air to pass around it and into the second end portion. When exposed to a pressure event the membrane assembly is urged against the sealing member, sealing the second end portion. The membrane will rupture at a selected overpressure threshold.

IDENTIFYING FALSE POSITIVE DATA WITHIN A SET OF BLAST EXPOSURE DATA
20230144611 · 2023-05-11 ·

A method, system, and computer-readable media for identifying false positive data within a set of blast exposure data. After debiasing and filtering the blast exposure data, an algorithm identifies predetermined features within the data that may be indicative of false positive data. The predetermined features are used to calculate a false positive score and if the false positive score exceeds a predetermined score threshold, the data is flagged with a false positive flag and may be removed from the set of blast exposure data.
