This invention relates to an activity monitoring system adapted to eliminate passive movement components caused by external forces from readout data produced by a first and a second motion sensor when attached to a subject during movement. The readout data include gravitational components, movement components caused by active movement of the subject or subject parts, and the passive movement components. A processor estimates first and second gravitational components produced by the at least first and a second motion sensors. It determines a rotation matrix based on the estimated gravitational components, the rotation matrix denoting rotation required for the first sensor to get aligned with the second sensor in orientation. It then multiplies the readout data produced by the first motion sensor with the rotation matrix when rotating the first sensor towards the second sensor. Finally, it subtracts the result of the multiplying from the readout data produced by the second motion sensor when rotating the first motion sensor towards the second motion sensor.

The invention relates to an electronic device for estimating energy consumption of a person. The electronic device uses a mathematical model based on acceleration data for estimating the person's energy consumption as a function of the actual performed activity and acceleration values. The acceleration values are converted to an estimate of energy consumption of a given activity by scaling a value of time integrated acceleration data with an activity scaling parameter. The activity scaling parameters for different activities have been determined off-line by comparing measured energy consumptions over e.g. a day with estimated energy consumptions over the same period, where the estimated values are determined using the mathematical model.

The present invention discloses an optical drive and a method for preprocessing a disc readout signal rk of an optical drive on the basis of a set of low-pass filters. The cutoff frequency fc of the filters wk, more particularly, can be set within the optical bandwidth, which improves the Viterbi detection performance in the case of high speed drive operations. Three types of filters are described, in which a Type I shaping filter performs best given a limited hardware cost for the bit detector. Compared to other more advanced noise- whitening techniques, it is only speed dependent and requires little prior knowledge of the channel and noise, thus cheap and easy to design. The invention can be applied in connection with optical disc drives, in particular when high frequency noises are dominant, for example, in the case of high speed operations.

The present invention relates to a tracking error detection method for an optical storage system wherein an optical disk comprises a plurality of adjacent track portions with a radial track pattern in which a number n > 2 of adjacent track portions repeatedly exhibit non-uniform radial track distances ( TP1 ≠ TP2… ≠ TPn ), whereby the sum of said radial track distances ( TPΣ = TP1 + ... + TPn ) is higher than the reciprocal optical cutoff λ /(2NA) of the optical disk drive. The method comprises projecting a plurality of (n) satellite light spots (S1,..., Sn; SL, SM) and one main spot (SR) onto said optical disk, each satellite spot being displaced in radial direction off the main spot by another one of half the radial track distances (TP1 /2 ≠TP1/2 ≠ ... ≠ TPn/2), respectively, and generating push-pull signals (PP1,...,PPn; PPL, PPM) for each satellite spot. The invention further relates to an optical disk drive implementing said method.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for robust tracking at narrow track-pitches on optical discs, enabling higher densities on Blu-ray Discs (5) as well as near-field discs. Increasing radial density results in loss of radial diffraction within the numerical aperture of the lens. Due to this loss in diffraction, current tracking methods, such as Push-Pull and Differential Phase Detection (DPD), will stop working. The invention provides a method and apparatus that relies on cross-correlating the central aperture (CA) signals of 3 optical spots (22, 24, 26) that are positioned such that there are a central spot (24) and spots (22, 26) positioned to the left (22) and right (26) of the central spot (4) . By using CA signals, the tangential diffraction is used, which is hardly affected by a track-pitch reduction.

A signal processing technique is proposed for compensating for radial to focus crosstalk in an optical storage system including an astigmatic lens (25) and four-quadrant photodetector (26) for generating a focus error signal. A signal processor generates the focus error signal (FESRVO), a tracking error signal (TES) and a central aperture signal (CA) and the proposed radial and focus crosstalk scheme can be described by the following equation (I): Where IFES Rvo represents the improved focus error signal and y1j and y2j are vector components for scaling. Instead, scalar adaptive scaling factors Ϝ1 and Ϝ2 may be applied which can be updated by minimising a cost function J(y1,y2), which is able to imply the radial to focus crosstalk components remaining in the focus error signal.

The invention regards a new threshold crossing timing recovery scheme for use in high capacity optical disc systems. The timing error of a timing error detector is multiplied with a weighing function. This scheme effectively increases the robustness of the optical system against data-induced jitter, which is considered to be the dominant disturbance of the timing recovery as the capacity of the optical discs is high. The invention furthermore describes a number of examples of possible weighing functions.
