Abstract: A system includes inertial sensors and a GPS. The system generates a first estimated vehicle velocity based on motion data and positioning data, generates a second estimated vehicle velocity based on the processed motion data and the first estimated vehicle velocity, and generates fused datasets indicative of position, velocity and attitude of a vehicle based on the processed motion data, the positioning data and the second estimated vehicle velocity. The generating the second estimated vehicle velocity includes: filtering the motion data, transforming the filtered motion data in a frequency domain based on the first estimated vehicle velocity, generating spectral power density signals, generating an estimated wheel angular frequency and an estimated wheel size based on the spectral power density signals, and generating the second estimated vehicle velocity as a function of the estimated wheel angular frequency and the estimated wheel size.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a device and method for detection of motion events including towing of the vehicle, jacking of the vehicle, and the vehicle being hit by another object. Processing is split between an MCU and a sensor unit. After the vehicle is turned off and before the MCU enters a sleep mode, the MCU calculates a gravity vector of the vehicle using accelerometer data, calculates threshold values based on the gravity vector, and saves the threshold values. After the MCU enters the sleep mode, the sensor unit subsequently monitors and detects motion events with the saved threshold values.

Abstract: At start-up of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) gyroscope, the drive signal is inhibited, and the phase, frequency and amplitude of any residual mechanical oscillation is sensed and processed to determine a process path for start-up. In the event that the sensed frequency of the residual mechanical oscillation is a spurious mode frequency and a quality factor of the residual mechanical oscillation is sufficient, an anti-phase signal is applied as the MEMS gyroscope drive signal in order to implement an active dampening of the residual mechanical oscillation. A kicking phase can then be performed to initiate oscillation. Also, in the event that the sensed frequency of the residual mechanical oscillation is a resonant mode frequency with sufficient drive energy, a quadrature phase signal with phase lock loop frequency control and amplitude controlled by the drive energy is applied as the MEMS gyroscope drive signal in order to induce controlled oscillation.

Abstract: A system for determining a fly height includes a first head of a disk drive, a second head of the disk drive, a capacitive sensor circuit coupled to the first head and the second head, and a logic device coupled to the capacitive sensor circuit. The capacitive sensor circuit is configured to measure a first capacitance between the first head and the first disk, remove noise from the first capacitance using a second capacitance between the second head and the second disk, and based thereon determine a corrected first capacitance. The logic device is configured to determine the fly height between the first head and the first disk using the corrected first capacitance.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a lead frame including a die pad with cavities, and methods for attaching a semiconductor die to the lead frame. The cavities allow for additional adhesive to be formed on the die pad at the corners of the semiconductor die, and prevent the additional adhesive from overflowing on to active areas of the semiconductor die.

Abstract: An electronic component includes a processor and a memory. The electronic component has a secure platform capable of storing at least one dual key pair and a corresponding digital signature. There is also a system including a host machine and an electronic component capable of being operated by the host machine. The electronic component has a processor, a memory, and a secure platform capable of storing at least one dual key pair and a corresponding digital signature. Another aspect describes a method, which includes reading a public key from an electronic component by a host machine, verifying the public key against a stored key in the host machine, digitally signing data using a private key from the electronic component, verifying the signed data against the stored key, and using the electronic component by the host machine only if the signed data and the public key are verified.

Abstract: A passive cable adaptor for connecting a data source device with a display device is described. The adaptor has a packet-based interface connector at one end, the connector having a positive main link pin, a negative main link pin, a positive auxiliary channel pin, and a negative auxiliary channel pin. At the other end is a micro serial interface connector, wherein multimedia content is transmitted over the cable adaptor and electrical power is supplied over the cable adaptor simultaneously. The cable adaptor has an auxiliary and hot plug detect (HPD) controller utilized to map the auxiliary channel and HPD signals of the packet-based digital display to the micro serial interface ID signal.
