Title: Vibration monitoring device
Inventor: ANDREW BARRY STEPHEN
IPC: H04W52/00
Filed: 2021-06-16
Abstract: A vibration monitoring device for measuring hand-arm vibration (HAV) and/or whole-body vibration (WBV) of an operator using vibration generating equipment, such as power tools, ride-on machinery or vehicles. The device comprises a vibration sensor and a wake-up receiver which receives signalling from an equipment identification module. The wake-up receiver detects a predetermined feature, e.g. a pulse width, pattern of pulses or frequency, indicative of the signalling originating from the identification module. In response to the detected feature the wake-up receiver provides a wake-up signal which activates a further receiver for decoding the signalling. The further receiver may measure the receive strength of the signalling and may ignore signals with a receive strength below a receive strength threshold and decode signals with a receive strength above the threshold. The activation of further circuitry only when a signal is detected reduces the power consumption of the device, providing a power saving mode.
