  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AN INCREASED GYROSCOPIC RATE SENSOR
    Publication number: 20190000344
    Abstract: A sensor module includes multiple accelerometers mounted in a non-collinear arrangement onto a printed circuit board. A processor obtains linear acceleration vectors from each of the accelerometers and through the constraint imposed by the the non-collinear arrangement of the accelerometers onto the printed circuit board, the angular velocity vector of the sensor may be derived by the processor from the linear acceleration vectors.

  • Method and apparatus for a universal sensor
    Patent number: 10058264
    Abstract: A universal sensor pod provides a native sensing function during a first mode of operation and a secondary sensing function during a second mode of operation. The universal sensor pod may transition from the native sensing function to the secondary sensing function upon detecting that a sensor capable of the secondary sensing function is connected to the universal sensor pod via a smart connector. The universal sensor pod may continue one or more native sensing functions along with the secondary sensing function upon detecting that a sensor capable of the secondary sensing function is connected to the universal sensor pod via a smart connector. A code embedded within the smart connector is transmitted to a processor contained within the universal sensor pod and in response, the processor executes a firmware application that is tailored to the secondary sensing function code in response to receiving the code.
