Homework Statement
i have a school research, that i have to give at the end of this year
Relevant Equations
there is no equations yet, only physical research
I am developing a Taekwondo body protector scoring system using a textile piezoelectric sensor. The sensor is designed to detect mechanical force and convert it into an electrical charge. However, it is sensitive to temperature variations, leading to potential inaccuracies and instability in the system. External factors, such as changes in room temperature and the player's body heat after sweating, can impact the sensor's performance.

I have the following questions:

**How can I enhance the temperature stability of the system to mitigate the impact of convection, conduction, and radiation? Are there tools available that can provide comprehensive temperature stability simultaneously?

**If there is no tool that provides this level of temperature stability, can I implement an alternative approach? For instance, could I integrate a temperature sensor and then combine the information from the piezoelectric sensor and the temperature sensor to correct the piezoelectric output?

**Which method is the most effective among the options mentioned? If you have any alternative methods that you believe would be superior, I would appreciate your insights. This research is crucial for my academic year-end project, and I thank you for your attention!

It depends how temperature affects its behaviour. If it simply stops working above some feasible temperature there's obviously no way forward. Do you have data on it?

What materials can improve the durability of a Taekwondo body protector scoring system?

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) or thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) can be added to the body protector to improve its durability and resistance to impact. These materials are known for their strength and flexibility, which can help the scoring system withstand repeated strikes.

How can sensor placement be optimized for better stability in scoring?

Sensors should be strategically placed in areas that are most likely to receive strikes, such as the chest and abdomen. Additionally, using a grid pattern for sensor placement can ensure even coverage and reduce the likelihood of missed detections, thereby improving scoring accuracy and stability.

What role does firmware play in enhancing the stability of a scoring system?

Firmware can be optimized to filter out noise and false positives, ensuring that only legitimate strikes are recorded. Advanced algorithms can also be implemented to differentiate between different types of strikes and their intensities, contributing to a more stable and reliable scoring system.

Can wireless communication affect the stability of the scoring system?

Yes, wireless communication can introduce latency and signal interference, which may affect the stability of the scoring system. Using a more reliable wireless protocol, such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or Zigbee, and ensuring a strong, interference-free signal can help mitigate these issues.

How does power management contribute to the stability of a Taekwondo body protector scoring system?

Efficient power management ensures that the sensors and communication modules operate consistently without interruptions. Using high-capacity rechargeable batteries and incorporating power-saving features can help maintain stable performance throughout extended use, reducing the risk of system failures during a match.
