    摘要: A MEMS device with teeter-totter structure includes a mobile mass having an area in a plane and a thickness in a direction perpendicular to the plane. The mobile mass is tiltable about a rotation axis extending parallel to the plane and formed by a first and by a second half-masses arranged on opposite sides of the rotation axis. The first and the second masses have a first and a second centroid, respectively, arranged at a first and a second distance b1, b2, respectively, from the rotation axis. First through openings are formed in the first half-mass and, together with the first half-mass, have a first total perimeter p1 in the plane. Second through openings are formed in the second half-mass and, together with the second half-mass, have a second total perimeter p2 in the plane, where the first and the second perimeters p1, p2 satisfy the equation: p1×b1=p2×b2.

    摘要: The disclosed system includes a user-mountable electronic device, an output interface, and at least one processor. The electronic device includes a housing and at least one sensor device located within the housing and configured to generate sensor output that indicates orientation or motion of the user-mountable electronic device. The at least one processor is operated to: receive the sensor output; identify, based on the received sensor output, a body part on which the user intends to deploy the user-mountable electronic device; determine a preferred orientation of the user-mountable electronic device relative to the identified body part; and cause the output interface to provide deployment guidance that indicates the preferred orientation of the user-mountable electronic device.

    摘要: A quickdraw for sport climbing includes two carabiners held together by a connecting element having a central region which ends in a loop for the carabiners at each of the two end regions. This connecting element is provided with at least one sensor in the central region between the loops or near to one of the loops. As a result of a minimal movement or touch of the quickdraw, the at least one sensor, triggered by use of the quickdraw, emits an electronic signal which is received by a base station communicating with a smartphone and/or a computer so that the signal can be processed, stored and compared with previously stored signals in order to show or graphically represent the corresponding values resulting therefrom on the display.

    摘要: A battery-powered sensing apparatus adapted for embedding in concrete comprises a housing having a base portion and a removable lid, the housing providing a scaled enclosure, and at least one sensor for monitoring one or more environmental conditions for the concrete. The sensing apparatus further comprises a control module; a wireless communication module; and a battery. The control module, wireless communication module and battery are mounted on the lid so as to be located within the sealed enclosure as internal components, and so as to be removable with the lid after the sensing apparatus has been embedded in concrete.

    摘要: The present invention measures jump heights using an IMU sensor module slipped in a pocket of a removable side ankle mount clip placed over any low, mid or high tops ankle athletic running shoe. A micro-processor in the IMU sensor module converts analog jump height data collected with real time digital signal processing to digital data sent to specialized algorithms loaded in a RF paired smartphone to refine the digital data to accurately calculate the height of the jump. The clip has two downward spaced legs joined by a curved arch at the top with a first leg being flexible and fitting snugly against a wearer's ankle below the fibula bone with the curved arch resting over the shoe's collar. The second leg has a foot extending outwardly from the curved arch to form a pocket with a top opening to receive and snugly hold the module.

    摘要: A device for tracking a mobile article comprises a navigation system adapted to track a movement of the mobile article, a power source adapted to power the navigation system, an acceleration sensor, and a computation unit receiving an output signal from the acceleration sensor. The computation unit determines whether the mobile article is at a standstill or moving based on the output signal and initiates a sleep mode if the output signal has not changed for a specifiable time.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides wearable apparatus and method for calculating drift-free plantar pressure parameters for gait monitoring of an individual. Most conventional techniques use different kind of sensors placed in in-sole based wearable apparatus but are costly and not effective in calculating accurate plantar pressure parameters. The disclosed wearable apparatus uses off-the shelf piezoelectric sensors that are widely available in market with less cost. The drift-free plantar pressure parameters are calculated using drift-free static pressure data obtained by numerically integrating acquired dynamic sensor data from the piezoelectric sensors, using a LiTCEM correction mechanism. A 6-DOF Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU sensor) helps in isolating zero-pressure duration indicating when a foot of the individual is in air during a stride, while obtaining the drift-free static pressure data. The disclosed wearable apparatus calculate the drift-free plantar pressure parameters for long duration and facilitates monitoring walking patterns of the individual.
