MIPS AB has been working on the idea of reducing the rotational energy to the head during oblique impacts since 1996. Together with the Royal Institute of Technology the founders of MIPS AB have published a number of reports in peer-reviewed technical journals. Below are the most relevant papers concerning the MIPS technology.
