APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR LOCATING THE POINT OF IMPACT OF A BODY ON A SURFACE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/104767

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

An apparatus for locating the point of impact of a body on a surface comprises detecting means (12; 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) adapted to detect pressure waves generated by the interaction of said body with said surface, and a processing unit (15) operatively connected to said detecting means (12; 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d); the detecting means (12; 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) and the processing unit (14, 15) are configured for detecting and processing power values associated with said pressure waves so as to calculate the position of said point of impact as a function of the aforementioned power values. Also described is the related method.
