Patent ID: 8051721

Claim:
A surface-mountable shock sensor configuration for replaceably mounting a shock sensor of a plurality of shock sensors, the configuration comprising: (a) a housing assembly; (b) a shock sensor mounted within the housing assembly; (c) said shock sensor being able to yield at least three pulses in response to at least three respective shocks applied to the surface upon which the sensor configuration being mounted; (d) said shock sensor being mounted on said housing assembly using an internal clip acting to securely retain the shock sensor within the housing; (e) said internal clip including a protuberance designed to enhance the transference of mechanical energy from the sensor configuration to the shock sensor; and (f) a pulse emitted in response to a shock being indicative of said shock in a repeatable manner with error bar less than 7/40 of shock indication for all shock sensors of said plurality of shock sensors, thereby substantially eliminating field calibration for the sensor configuration.
