    摘要: A physical quantity measuring apparatus has: a plurality of physical quantity sensors of the same type, each of which detects a physical quantity at intervals of a predetermined length of time; a computing unit that calculates an output value according to physical quantities detected by the plurality of physical quantity sensors at each detection time; and a deciding unit that makes a predetermined decision according to an output value calculated about the immediately preceding detection time and to physical quantities detected by the plurality of physical quantity sensors at the current detection time. The computing unit calculates an output value at each detection time according to a decision result of the deciding unit.

    摘要: A method (500) for monitoring rotation of a lighting unit (200) includes the steps of: providing (510) a lighting unit comprising a sensor (32), a controller (22), a first gear (212) configured to rotate the lighting unit about a first axis, and a second gear (214) configured to rotate about a second axis, wherein the second axis is substantially perpendicular to the first axis; rotating (520) one of the first and second gears, wherein the rotation causes rotation of the lighting unit about the first axis from a first position to a second position; generating (530), by the sensor in response to rotation of the second gear, sensor data; and translating (540), by the controller, the sensor data into information about rotation of the first gear.

    摘要: A way to exchange contact information between two people in a quick, easy and fun way is provided. Each user wears a bracelet that includes an embedded communication circuit and a bracelet-to-bracelet proximity sensor. When two bracelets are positioned within an inch or so, the proximity sensor of each bracelet will detect the presence of the other bracelet and will then activate the communication circuit to both transmit and receive an ID code to each respective bracelet. Each received code will be stored in onboard memory and can later be retrieved and used to initiate a more formal connection where more personal contact information (e.g., email addresses, cell phone numbers, etc.) may be selectively and safely exchanged, as desired.In one embodiment, each bracelet includes a magnet and a magnetic field detector. When two bracelets are close to each other or touching each other, each bracelet will detect the magnetic fields of the other bracelet, which will cause the exchange of information between bracelets.According to another embodiment, each bracelet includes an accelerometer and a microphone and associated control circuitry so that should two users decide to exchange contact information, each will create a common gesture (such as a ‘high-five” slap) and simultaneously shout out a predetermined selected audible word, phrase or sound (such as: “alright” or “great”). Once confirmed, the communication circuit of each bracelet will transmit and receive contact information. Both these embodiments and others are described in greater detail below.
