  • Patent number: 10185563
    Abstract: The present solution targets independent or inter-dependent resource management scenarios such as multi-sensor and other scenarios of possible process/component sharing, intended for individual or group synchronized core task management as part of a flexible long-term solution for monitoring, self-calibration, built-in self-testing, measurements and/or group synchronization dependant strategies. An extension to I2C/I3C compatible instruments is described. Disclosed is a module comprising an interpreter sub-module, for receiving and responding to I2C/I3C sequences and a register bank module comprising a plurality of registers for storing values. The disclosed module and method of operation can be used for initialization, measurement, and resource management through mixed-signal analog bus scheduling, synchronization and group addressing for built-in calibration strategies for example.

  • Publication number: 20100280792
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to a portable and autonomous device and corresponding method for the measurement, recording and calculation of dynamic parameters of the pedestrian locomotion of its bearer. The method hereby disclosed allows determining the distance effectively travelled, the velocity of displacement and the pressures exerted on the contact surface of the lower limb with the ground, during the pedestrian locomotion, according to its different phases. Through sensors strategically placed, accelerations, angular velocities and pressures are measured and recorded on the control unit. The device disclosed includes a processing unit that implements the method disclosed and a communication unit to transfer to an external unit the calculated parameters. The disclosed invention can be used in applications that involve monitoring parameters of the locomotion activity or daily ambulation of its bearer, in the areas of health and sports or in any physical and occupational activities.
