Abstract: A slave device may receive a clock signal from a master device via a bus. The slave device may detect a first pulse of the clock signal. The first pulse indicates that a bit is to be written to a slave shift register of the slave device. The slave device may identify a timeout threshold associated with the clock signal. The slave device may determine that the timeout threshold expired without a second pulse from the clock signal being detected. The slave device may reset, based on the timeout threshold expiring, the slave shift register to synchronize the slave shift register with a master shift register of the master device.

Abstract: A device may determine a sensor identifier corresponding to a sensor integrated circuit (IC) associated with a sensor system. The device may provide the sensor identifier corresponding to the sensor IC. The device may receive, based on providing the sensor identifier, compensation parameter information associated with the sensor IC. The device may cause a set of compensation parameters, associated with the compensation parameter information, to be stored on a controller associated with the sensor system. The set of compensation parameters may include one or more parameters associated with correcting a measurement performed by the sensor IC or a safety result provided by the sensor IC.

Abstract: Examples provide a method, a component, a tire-mounted TPMS module, a TPMS system and a machine readable storage or computer program for determining time information of at least one contact patch event of a rolling tire and a method for locating a tire. A method for determining time information of at least one contact patch event of a rolling tire, includes obtaining information indicative of a rotational rate of the tire; obtaining a sequence of samples indicative of at least an acceleration component during at least one rotation of the tire; and determining a position of at least one reference sample in the sequence, wherein the position of the at least one reference sample is indicative of the time information of the contact patch event of the rolling tire.

Abstract: Examples provide a method, a component, a tire-mounted TPMS module, a TPMS system and a machine readable storage or computer program for determining a duration of at least one contact patch event of a rolling tire. A method for determining a duration of at least one contact patch event of a rolling tire, comprises obtaining a sequence of acceleration measurement samples of the rolling tire from a tire-mounted acceleration sensor; and determining the duration of the contact patch event based on acceleration measurement samples of the sequence between a first time instance when the acceleration measurement samples cross a first threshold and a second time instance when the acceleration measurement samples cross a second threshold.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus which has, among other things, a MEMS device with a first measurement arrangement for capturing a measurement variable (X1) based on a physical variable, which has a useful variable component (N1) and a first disturbance variable component (Z1), and a second measurement arrangement for capturing a second disturbance variable component (Z2). The apparatus furthermore has a disturbance compensation circuit which is configured to combine the second disturbance variable component (Z2) and the measurement variable (X1) with one another and to obtain a disturbance-compensated measurement variable (Xcomp). The MEMS device is arranged in a housing, wherein the MEMS device is in immediate mechanical contact with the housing by way of at least 50% of a MEMS device surface.
