Abstract:
In a device (2) for determining the position (P 1 (X, y) ) of a touch on a contact surface (Ia) , a plurality of vibration sensors (4) are configured to detect mechanical vibrations (9) generated by the touch on the contact surface (1a) and to generate corresponding vibration signals, and a processing circuit (6) is connected to the vibration sensors (4) and is configured to determine the touch position (P 1 (x, y) ) via a time-of-f light algorithm, based on differences between times of detection (t 1 , t 2 , t 3 ) of the mechanical vibrations (9) by the vibration sensors (4) .
Abstract:
A device for stabilizing images acquired by a digital-image sensor (5) includes a motion- sensing device (15, 16, 17, 18), for detecting quantities (P, Y, Y) correlated to pitch and yaw movements of the digital-image sensor (5), and a processing unit (14), connectable to the 5 digital-image sensor (5) for receiving a first image signal (IMG) and configured for extracting a second image signal (IMG') from the first image signal (IMG) on the basis of the quantities (P, Y, Y) detected by the motion-sensing device (15, 16, 17, 18). The motion-sensing device (15, 16, 17, 18) includes a first accelerometer (15) and a second accelerometer (16).
Abstract:
The system (1) for detecting and evaluating environmental quantities and events is formed by a device (2) and a mobile phone (3), connected together through a Bluetooth connection (4). The device (2) is enclosed in a containment casing (10) housing a support (20) carrying a plurality of inertial sensors (35) and environmental sensors (36); a processing unit (39), coupled to the inertial sensors and to the environmental sensors; a wireless connection unit (38), coupled to the processing unit; a wired connection port (26), coupled to the processing unit; programming connectors (30), coupled to the processing unit (39) and configured to couple to an external programming unit to receive programming instructions of the processing unit; a storage structure (33), coupled to the processing unit; and a power-supply unit (41). The mobile phone (3) stores an application, which enables a basic use mode, an expert use mode, and an advanced use mode.
