  • Sensor system for measuring a parameter
    Patent number: 10473688
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a sensor system for measuring a parameter of a body. The sensor system includes a housing mountable to a rotating part of the body. The housing includes a first dual-axis accelerometer having a first measurement axis and a second measurement axis, the first dual-axis accelerometer arranged to measure a first acceleration along the first measurement axis and a second acceleration along the second measurement axis and a second dual-axis accelerometer having a third measurement axis and a fourth measurement axis, the second dual-axis accelerometer arranged to measure a third acceleration along the third measurement axis and a fourth acceleration along the fourth measurement axis. The sensor system also includes a processor configured to receive the first, second, third and fourth measured accelerations and determine from the first, second, third and fourth measured accelerations the parameter.
