  • Patent number: 11747362
    Abstract: In a method for determining vibrations generated by a device, first vibration measurements are received from a first accelerometer coupled to the device, the first vibration measurements comprising a first device vibration contribution and a first environmental vibration contribution, wherein the device is located within an environment comprising a plurality of devices capable of generating vibrations. Second vibration measurements are received from a second accelerometer located within the environment and not connected to the device, the second vibration measurements comprising a second device vibration contribution and a second environmental vibration contribution. The first vibration measurements and the second vibration measurements are compared. Based on the comparing, the first device vibration contribution is estimated.

  • Patent number: 11566899
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for configuring a motion sensor assembly to compensate for a temperature gradient. First and second sensors of the same type are arranged as opposing pairs with respect to a first axis that may be defined by a temperature gradient caused by at least one thermal element. Combining the output measurements of the first sensor and the second sensor allows effects of the temperature gradient on sensor measurements of the first sensor and the second sensor to be compensated.

  • Patent number: 10726281
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for user and moving vehicle detection in which sensor data for a portable device is processed to determine whether the portable device is in a moving vehicle. Following a determination the portable device is in a moving vehicle, the sensor data is to characterize an association between the user and the portable device to determine whether the portable device is connected to the user. If the user is connected to the portable device, it is then determined if the portable device is being held in hand. If the portable device is held in hand, it is then determined if the user is operating the moving vehicle. Output from an image sensor of the portable device may be used in determining if the user is the operator.
