Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 27 words
A boxing glove comprising: a boxing glove body; and an accelerometer disposed within the boxing glove body which continuously measures an instantaneous acceleration of the boxing glove.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 27 words
A boxing glove comprising: a boxing glove body; and an accelerometer disposed within the boxing glove body which continuously measures an instantaneous acceleration of the boxing glove.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 30 words
The boxing glove as in claim 1 further comprising a radio frequency transmitter disposed in the body and coupled to the accelerometer for transmitting encoded accelerometer readings to a display.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 13 words
The boxing glove as in claim 1 further comprising three mutally orthogonal accelerometer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 32 words
The boxing glove as in claim 1 further comprising a processor operatively coupled to the accelerometer and a radio frequency transmitter which detects and transmits only changes in the continuously measured acceleration.
Claim 6
Independent Claim 80 words
A system for measuring a force of impact of a boxing glove of a boxer comprising: an accelerometer disposed in the boxing glove of the boxer for measuring the force of impact of the boxing glove on an opponent; a radio frequency transmitter disposed in the boxing glove and coupled to the accelerometer for transmitting impact measurements; a radio frequency receiver for receiving the impact measurements; and a display coupled to the radio frequency receiver for displaying the measured impacts.
Claim 7
Independent Claim 80 words
A system for measuring a force of impact of a boxing glove of a boxer comprising: an accelerometer disposed in the boxing glove of the boxer for measuring the force of impact of the boxing glove on an opponent; a radio frequency transmitter disposed in the boxing glove and coupled to the accelerometer for transmitting impact measurements; a radio frequency receiver for receiving the impact measurements; and a display coupled to the radio frequency receiver for displaying the measured impacts.
Claim 8
Independent Claim 82 words
A system for measuring a force of impact of a boxing glove of a boxer comprising: three mutually orthogonal accelerometers disposed in the boxing glove of the boxer for measuring the force of impact of the boxing glove on an opponent; a radio frequency transmitter disposed in the boxing glove and coupled to the accelerometers for transmitting impact measurements; a radio frequency receiver for receiving the impact measurements; and a display coupled to the radio frequency receiver for displaying the measured impacts.
Claim 9
Independent Claim 82 words
A system for measuring a force of impact of a boxing glove of a boxer comprising: three mutually orthogonal accelerometers disposed in the boxing glove of the boxer for measuring the force of impact of the boxing glove on an opponent; a radio frequency transmitter disposed in the boxing glove and coupled to the accelerometers for transmitting impact measurements; a radio frequency receiver for receiving the impact measurements; and a display coupled to the radio frequency receiver for displaying the measured impacts.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 68 words
A display system for displaying an impact level of a boxing glove of a boxer on an opponent, such display comprising: a radio frequency receiver for receiving a continuously transmitted impact signal level from an accelerometer disposed in the boxing glove of the boxer; and a display coupled to the radio frequency receiver for displaying the continuously transmitted impact signal level of the boxing glove of the boxer.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 68 words
A display system for displaying an impact level of a boxing glove of a boxer on an opponent, such display comprising: a radio frequency receiver for receiving a continuously transmitted impact signal level from an accelerometer disposed in the boxing glove of the boxer; and a display coupled to the radio frequency receiver for displaying the continuously transmitted impact signal level of the boxing glove of the boxer.
