Abstract: A method, comprising: providing a target including: (i) a base having a through-hole formed therein that defines an inner perimeter of the base, the base having an outer side running around an outer perimeter of the base, and the base having an inner side running around the inner perimeter of the base, (ii) a first set of first conductive features that are coupled to the outer side of the base, each of the first conductive features extending outwardly, (iii) and a second set of second conductive features that are coupled to the inner side of the base, each of the second conductive features extending inwardly; and detecting an angular position of the target based on a first electrical angle that is associated with the first set of first conductive features and a second electrical angle that is associated with the second set of second conductive features.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus receiving data at a first time from at least one sensor, determining a parameter from the received data for the first time, estimating the parameter for a future time based on the data for first time, and outputting the estimated parameter for the future time to a receiving device. In some embodiments, an IC package can process the received data to generate the estimated parameter for the future time. The IC package may transmit the estimated parameter using a particular protocol. In some embodiments, the receiving device can treat the estimated parameter as real-time data.
