    摘要: A sensor assembly includes a housing, a sensor, and a transmitter. A power supply is configured to power the sensor assembly. A light harvesting element is configured to convert incident light into electrical energy for replenishing the power stored by the power supply. A controller activates and deactivates the sensor in accordance with a first activation schedule. The controller monitors a power reserve parameter of the power supply. When the power reserve parameter drops below a first power reserve threshold, the controller alters the activation schedule to a second activation schedule for the sensor that reduces power consumption from the power supply. After the light harvesting element replenishes the power stored by the power supply above a second power reserve threshold, the controller alters the activation schedule to return to the first activation schedule.

    摘要: A micro inertial measurement system includes a housing, a sensing module, and a damper. The sensing module includes a rigid sensing support, a measuring and controlling circuit board mounted on the rigid sensing support and an inertial sensor set on the measuring and controlling circuit board. The inertial sensor includes a gyroscope and an accelerometer. The sensing module is mounted in the housing. The damper is mounted in the housing and set in the gap between the sensing module and the inside wall of the housing. By use of the above-mentioned structure, the noise immunity of the inertial measuring system can be greatly improved, and the volume and weight of the inertial measuring system can be greatly reduced.

    摘要: The invention relates to a sensor device (10), in particular for use in a motor vehicle, comprising a housing (11) for receiving a sensor element (1), wherein the sensor element (1) has contact surfaces (21 to 23) that are electrically conductively connected with electrical plug connections (27) arranged in the housing (11), in the region of contacts (24 to 26), wherein the sensor element (1) is applied with force by a housing element (13), in particular formed as a housing cover, in the direction of the contacts (24 to 26) for the purposes of electrical contacting, and wherein a support in the form of a 3-point contact is formed between the sensor element (1) and the housing (11). According to the invention, the sensor element (1) has at least two measuring devices (5, 6), and the at least two measuring devices (5, 6) have three contact surfaces (21 to 23) that form the 3-point contact.
