Abstract (en)

The person walking or skiing in an area where an avalanche can be expected is equipped with a portable detection device. The device is fitted with speed sensors reacting on movements performed in three different directions. The sensors are capable of differentiating between a quick motion, meaning the user is not covered by snow and still skiing or walking, a slowed down motion meaning the user is covered but still alive, or no motion at all meaning the person has died. The information about a movement like a heart beat or the breathing is transmitted to the rescue station. Independent claims are given for a method using the device, another, slightly different device, a method for using that device, an aerial for a short range communication system, and a device incorporating the aerial.
