Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include a host system and a management controller. The host system may include a host system processor and a device coupled to the host system processor. The management controller may be communicatively coupled to the host system processor and configured to provide management of the information handling system and manage multiple functions instantiated on the device via a single sideband interface channel interfaced between the device and the management controller by communicating function-oriented sideband commands, each function-oriented sideband command including a function address field for setting forth a function of the multiple functions to which the function-oriented sideband command is addressed.

Abstract: The strain gauges comprise an insulated substrate (6) carrying metallic layers (1-4) formed as a labyrinthine patterns, characterised in that the metallic layers are carried on opposite sides of the substrate in a substantially matching relationship mounted on a Platform (7). The platform may carry two sets of gauges set at right angles to each other so as to sense movement in two dimensions. The platform may be designed to emulate a snowboard surface, a skateboard surface or a pair of skis.
