    Abstract: Technologies for determining a user's location include a mobile computing device to determine, based on sensed inertial characteristics of the device, a walking gait of a user. The walking gait is one of a first gait indicative of the user holding the g device to the user's side or a second gait indicative of the user swinging the device along the user's side. The device further detects that the user has taken a physical step based on the inertial characteristics and the determined walking gait of the user, and determines a raw directional heading of the device indicative of a direction of the physical step. The device determines an estimated location of the user based on the determined raw directional heading, an estimated step length, and the user's previous location.

    Abstract: A sensor interface circuit enables signal reconstruction on data received from a sensor prior to sending the data to various sensor clients. Multiple sensor clients have different frequencies configured to receive sensor data. The sensor interface circuit performs signal reconstructions including data interpolation to generate interpolated data signal having frequencies corresponding to the different frequencies configured for the different sensor clients. Signal reconstruction can also include filtering the data. The sensor interface circuit sends the reconstructed data to the multiple clients in accordance with their different frequencies.

    Abstract: In a method for protecting electronic data, a data processing system (20, 20A, 20B) uses (a) a master electrocardiogram (ECG) identifier (44) for an authorized user of the system and (b) a secret chip key (26) for the system to encrypt data in the system. Also, before allowing the encrypted data to be decrypted, the system collects an ECG reading for a current user of the system and uses (a) the collected ECG reading for the current user and (b) at least one predetermined ECG identifier (EID) vector for the authorized user to determine whether the current user is the authorized user. In response to determining that the current user is the authorized user, the system uses the master ECG identifier (44) for the authorized user and the secret chip key (26) for the system to decrypt the data.

    Abstract: Apparatus, method and storage medium associated with UAV position estimation are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an UAV may comprise a transmitter-receiver arrangement to transmit and receive communication signals, including receipt of absolute positioning system (APS) signals from one or more APS sensors, and wireless signals from one or more proximately located other UAVs; one or more motors or engines to provide propulsive force for the UAV; and a flight controller coupled to the transmitter-receiver arrangement and the one or more motors or engines to control at least the one or more motors or engines to provide propulsive force to navigate the UAV, based at least in part on the APS and relative positioning signals. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.

    Abstract: Technologies for determining a user's location by a mobile computing device include detecting, based on sensed inertial characteristics of the mobile computing device, that a user of the mobile computing device has taken a physical step in a direction. The mobile computing device determines a directional heading of the mobile computing device in the direction and a variation of an orientation of the mobile computing device relative to a previous orientation of the mobile computing device at a previous physical step of the user based on the sensed inertial characteristics. The mobile computing device further applies a Kalman filter to determine a heading of the user based on the determined directional heading of the mobile computing device and the variation of the orientation and determines an estimated location of the user based on the user's determined heading, an estimated step length of the user, and a previous location of the user at the previous physical step.

    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that includes a first housing, where the first housing includes at least one first housing accelerometer and at least one first housing gyroscope, a second housing, where the second housing includes at least one second housing accelerometer and at least one second housing gyroscope, and a hinge. The hinge rotatably couples the first housing to the second housing, where a hinge angle is determined using data from the first housing accelerometer, the second housing accelerometer, the first housing gyroscope, and the second housing gyroscope if the electronic device is not in a portrait orientation where the hinge is vertical to a ground or not in motion and is determined using data from the first housing gyroscope and the second housing gyroscope if the electronic device is in portrait orientation or is in motion.
