    Abstract: Circuitry for driving a load, the circuitry comprising: driver circuitry; and load sensing circuitry, wherein the circuitry is operable in: a driving mode of operation in which the driver circuitry supplies a drive signal to a load coupled to the circuitry; and a load sensing mode of operation, for estimating a characteristic of a load coupled to the circuitry based on a signal output by the load sensing circuitry in response to a stimulus signal, wherein the circuitry is configured to, in response to a request for operation of the circuitry in the load sensing mode: compare an indication of a current through the load to a predefined threshold; and if the indication of the current through the load meets the predefined threshold, prevent or delay operation in the load sensing mode.

    Abstract: A correction unit for use in a sensor system, the sensor system comprising a force sensor configured to output a sensor signal indicative of a temporary mechanical distortion of a material under an applied force, the correction unit configured, based on the sensor signal, to: estimate an effect of the applied force on how the material will return towards an undistorted form upon a substantial reduction or removal of the applied force; and generate a corrected signal based on the estimation.

    Abstract: A system may include a resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor configured to sense a physical quantity, and a measurement circuit communicatively coupled to the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor and configured to measure one or more resonance parameters associated with the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor and indicative of the physical quantity and, in order to maximize dynamic range in determining the physical quantity from the one or more resonance parameters, dynamically modify, across the dynamic range, either of reliance on the one or more resonance parameters in determining the physical quantity or one or more resonance properties of the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor.

    Abstract: A classification system for classifying sensor samples in a sensor system, the sensor system comprising N force sensors each configured to output a sensor signal, where N≥1, each sensor sample comprising N sample values from the N sensor signals, respectively, the classification system comprising: a classifier configured, for each of a series of candidate sensor samples, to perform a classification operation based on the N sample values concerned and generate a classification result which labels the candidate sensor sample as indicative of a defined target event, thereby generating a series of classification results corresponding to the series of candidate sensor samples, respectively; a determiner configured to output at least one event determination based on the series of classification results; and a controller configured to control the classifier and/or the determiner based on one or more controller input signals.
