Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for controlling a sensor assembly with a plurality of same type sensors. Sensors are operated in active and inactive states. The activation state of at least one of the sensors is changed based on an operational parameter that relates to an environmental condition differentially affecting the plurality of same type sensors.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for configuring a motion sensor assembly to compensate for a temperature gradient. First and second sensors of the same type are arranged as opposing pairs with respect to a first axis that may be defined by a temperature gradient caused by at least one thermal element. Combining the output measurements of the first sensor and the second sensor allows effects of the temperature gradient on sensor measurements of the first sensor and the second sensor to be compensated.

Abstract: A circuit board cooling system includes a circuit board with a processor disposed thereon, a cooling unit operating according to an operating configuration to generate air flow to cool a portion of the circuit board, and a plurality of pressure sensors that are coupled with a sensor processing unit and configured to measure air pressure data at their respective locations. The pressure sensors include a first pressure sensor located between the processor and the cooling unit and a second pressure sensor located such that the processor is between the second pressure sensor and the cooling unit. Air pressure data measured by the plurality of pressure sensors is obtained by the sensor processing unit. The sensor processing unit compares the obtained air pressure data to reference air pressure data for the operating configuration and, based on the comparison, determines that a disturbance to the air flow exists.

Abstract: A security system for a building comprises a pressure sensor and a computer system communicatively coupled with the pressure system. The pressure sensor coupled to a movable portion of a window in the building. The computer system is configured to: receive a first pressure measurement from the pressure sensor; compare the first pressure measurement to a reference pressure measurement; and based on the comparison, detect that the movable portion of the window has moved.
