US12644678 - Electronic target with MEMS sensor

The electronic target includes a front plate, a chamber behind the front plate, a MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) sensor element inside the chamber joined to the front plate by at least a connection element, a main control device electrically connected to the MEMS sensor element, and a signal processing element electrically connected to the MEMS sensor element and the main control device. Due to the MEMS sensor element's small dimension, light weight, low power consumption, high durability, low cost, and stable performance, it can be integrated into the electronic target simply by the connection element without being constrained by its shape and size, and the electronic target can be installed more conveniently and quickly.
