20100206070 | SPEED METER HAVING PEDOMETRIC FUNCTION - A speed meter having pedometric function comprises a casing provided with a liquid crystal screen, a gravity sensor provided in electric connection in the casing, a circuit board, and a microprocessor. A changeover switch is respectively connected with the gravity sensor and the microprocessor. Thereby, the forward speed of a vehicle can be obtained by the detection of the gravity sensor and the calculation of the microprocessor when the vehicle is driven. After the changeover switch is switched into a status of walking or running, the step count of a user can be obtained by the detection of the gravity sensor and the calculation of the microprocessor and shown on the liquid crystal screen. | 08-19-2010 |
20120291546 | INERTIAL SENSOR - One inertial sensor detects an acceleration in a driving direction as well as an angular rate about one axis and an acceleration in a detecting direction at the same time. A driving-direction acceleration detecting unit is provided to members vibrating in mass members on the left and right via an elastic body. In this manner, when an acceleration is applied in the driving direction, the mass members on the left and right normally vibrated with a same amplitude and in opposite phases have displacement amounts in a same phase, and the driving-direction acceleration detecting unit detects the displacement amounts in the same phase as a capacitance change, thereby detecting the acceleration in the driving direction. | 11-22-2012 |

20150075282 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING OVERHEAD LINE MOTION - A system for monitoring motion of an overhead line includes a monitoring device. The monitoring device includes an accelerometer and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to accept data from the accelerometer corresponding to line movement, analyze the data to determine displacement data corresponding to a displacement of the overhead line, accept data corresponding to a location of at least one external object proximate to the overhead line, and analyze the displacement data to determine a clearance from the at least one external object. | 03-19-2015 |
20150308830 | MICRO-ELECTROMECHANICAL APPARATUS WITH PIVOT ELEMENT - A micro-electromechanical apparatus may include a substrate, a first frame, a plurality of first anchors, a region and a plurality of pivot elements. The plurality of first anchors and the region is disposed on the substrate. The region is surrounded by the plurality of first anchors. Each of the pivot elements includes a pivot end and a rotary end. Each of the pivot ends is connected to a corresponding first anchor and each of the rotary ends is connected to the first frame such that the first frame is able to rotate with respect to an axis passing the region. The micro-electromechanical apparatus having the pivot elements and the region is adapted for detecting multi-degree physical quantities such as angular velocities in at least two axes, angular velocities and accelerations, angular velocities and Earth's magnetic field. | 10-29-2015 |
20160126121 | SENSOR SYSTEM FOR SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING APPARATUS - A chamber monitoring system may include a parallel architecture in which a single sensor control system is coupled to a number of different processing chamber control board sensor lines. In an illustrative embodiment, a single rotation sensor such as a tachometer may reside in a central control unit remote from the processing chambers such that rotation data may be processed by a single system and thereafter routed according to a variety of different network communication protocols to the main system controller, a factory interface, or both. In this and other embodiments, pull-up networks in the central control unit and the chamber control boards are matched so as to reduce electrical signal anomalies such as crowbar effects. The central control unit may be programmed via a main system controller to operate according to user defined parameters, which in turn may enable the system to differentiate between certain operating states. | 05-05-2016 |
