Abstract: An inertial measurement unit is affixed to a rigid body. The inertial measurement includes a gyroscope that measures a first angular velocity and an angular acceleration; a first accelerometer that measures a first acceleration; a communications unit that receives a measurement signal, the measurement signal including a second acceleration transmitted from a second accelerometer, the second accelerometer being affixed to the rigid body; and a controller that calculates a relative orientation of the inertial measurement unit and the second accelerometer, and a distance separating the inertial measurement unit and the second accelerometer.

Abstract: A fixed clamping member has a first interior surface and is constructed of a first material. A sensor unit formed on an exterior surface of the fixed clamping member detects a motion of the motion analysis device. A pivoting clamping member secured to a first end of the fixed clamping member has a second interior surface that opposes the first interior surface when the pivoting clamping member is in a secured position. A gripping element constructed of a second material different than the first material is formed over the first interior surface and the second interior surface. A tightening member having a threaded portion is secured to a second end of the fixed clamping member. A knob has a threaded interior portion with a diameter corresponding to the cylindrical threaded portion. An opening on the pivoting clamping member has a shape and a size corresponding to the tightening member.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to acquire information corresponding to a reference orientation that indicates a spatial position of a sensor unit attached to a golf club. The reference orientation is determined based on a vector projecting in a normal direction from a planar surface of the golf club. The circuitry acquires a measurement signal generated by the sensor unit in response to a movement of the golf club, the measurement signal including measurements of one or more of an angular acceleration, a linear acceleration, and an angular velocity. The circuitry generates data corresponding to a motion path of the golf club based on the measurement signal and the reference orientation. The circuitry controls an interface to output the generated data corresponding to the motion path.
