    Abstract: A device including microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors are used in dead reckoning in conditions where Global Positioning System (GPS) signals or Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are lost. The device is capable of tracking the location of the device after the GPS/GNSS signals are lost by using MEMS sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes. By calculating a misalignment angle between a forward axis of a sensor frame of the device and a forward axis of a vehicle frame using the data received from the MEMS sensors, the device can accurately calculate the location of a user or the vehicle of the device even without the GPS/GNSS signals. Accordingly, a device capable of tracking the location of the user riding in the vehicle in GPS/GNSS signals absent environment can be provided.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an air filter sensor system that can monitor a status of a filter and provide information to a remote system regarding the filter's status. The system can receive, by a computing server via one or more computer networks and from each of a plurality of sensor assemblies coupled to a corresponding plurality of air filters, information indicative of filter contamination levels respectively associated with each corresponding air filter of the plurality of air filters. Each of the respective filter contamination levels being provided by one sensor assembly of the plurality of sensor assemblies based at least in part on a difference in detected air pressure between first and second sides of the corresponding air filter. The system tracks the respective filter contamination levels over a first period of time and determines, by the computing server and based at least in part on the tracking of the respective filter contamination levels, a schedule for one or more maintenance events associated with a first air filter of the plurality of air filters.

    Abstract: A device including microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors is used in dead reckoning in conditions where Global Positioning System (GPS) signals or Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are lost. The device is capable of tracking the location of the device after the GPS/GNSS signals are lost by using MEMS sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes. By calculating a misalignment angle between a sensor frame of the device with either the movement direction of the vehicle or the walking direction of a pedestrian using the MEMS sensors, the device can accurately calculate the location of a user of the device even without the GPS/GNSS signals. Accordingly, a device capable of tracking the location of a pedestrian and a user riding in a vehicle without utilizing GPS/GNSS signals can be provided.

    Abstract: A sensor management system includes a cloud-based sensor configuration system and an electronic device. The electronic device includes a sensor unit. The sensor unit includes configuration data that controls operation of the sensor unit. The configuration data includes a classifier that classifies feature sets generated from sensor signals of the sensor unit. The electronic device sends sensor data to the cloud-based sensor configuration system. The cloud-based sensor configuration system analyzes the sensor data and generates a new classifier customized for the sensor unit based on the sensor data. The cloud-based sensor configuration system sends the new classifier to the electronic device. The electronic device replaces the classifier in the sensor unit with the new classifier.
