    Abstract: An apparatus for in-situ calibration of a photoacoustic sensor is provided. The apparatus includes a calibration unit that includes at least one processor configured to calculate calibration information. A light emitter of the photoacoustic sensor is configured to emit an electromagnetic spectrum and the photoacoustic sensor is configured to provide at least two measurement signals based on at least two electromagnetic spectra. The calibration unit is configured to compare the at least two measurement signals to obtain the calibration information and apply the calibration information to the photoacoustic sensor to perform the in-situ calibration.

    Abstract: A magnetic sensor may comprise a first linear output sensing element configured to sense a first component of an external magnetic field associated with a first axis. The first linear output sensing element may provide a first output voltage corresponding to the first component of the external magnetic field. The magnetic sensor may also comprise a second linear output sending component configured to sense a second component of the external magnetic field associated with a second axis. The second axis may be substantially orthogonal to the first axis. The second linear output sensing element may provide a second output voltage corresponding to the second component of the external magnetic field. The first output voltage and the second output voltage may be provided to determine an angle, associated with the external magnetic field, corresponding to a plane including the first axis and the second axis.

    Abstract: A sensor comprises a matrix switch that includes a number of switching elements configured in a matrix configuration. The sensor comprises one or more sensor elements configured in a sensor matrix configuration. A controller operates to dynamically select one or more signal routes via the switching elements to communicate data from one or more sensor elements of the sensor matrix. The matrix switch can operate to dynamically route multiple signal routes between sensor elements of the sensor to another component based on a set of criteria.

    Abstract: An example of a device comprises a signal generator to generate a signal causing a magnetic self test field for a magneto-resistive sensing element. A signal input is configures to receive a first sensor signal at a first time instant before the magnetic self test field is applied and a second sensor signal at a second time instant after the magnetic self test field is applied. An evaluation circuit is configured to determine information indicating a safe operation based on an evaluation of the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal.
