Abstract:
A system  100,  for determining the velocity of a hammer  120  of a keyboard instrument, with a light transceiver  140  and processing circuitry  160.  The light transceiver  140  being configured to transmit a light signal to a hammer  120  to measure a hammer velocity, receive a reflected light signal from the hammer  120  indicative of the velocity of the hammer  120  and send an electrical signal to the processing circuitry  160,  where the electrical signal is based on the reflected light signal from the hammer  120.  The processing circuitry  160  being configured to receive and process the electrical signal so that a time interval between the electrical signal passing through a first trigger point and a second trigger point and the velocity of the hammer  120  can be determined.

Claim (Index 21):
A method for determining a velocity of a hammer of a keyboard instrument, the method comprising:\n transmitting a light signal to a hammer; receiving a reflected light signal from the hammer indicative of a position of the hammer as the hammer moves between a rest position and a strike position; generating an electrical signal based on the reflected light signal received from the hammer; determining a time interval between the electrical signal passing through a first trigger point representative of a first hammer position and a second trigger point representative of a second hammer position; and determining a velocity of the hammer based on the time interval, wherein i) the first hammer position corresponds to a first hammer height above the rest position, or ii) the second hammer position corresponds to a second hammer height below the strike position, the second hammer height being in close proximity to the strike position.
