    Abstract: A method of estimating in-cylinder pressure includes receiving a vibration signal from a vibration sensor mounted proximate a compression ignition (CI) engine, receiving angular position information for the CI engine, and determining in-cylinder pressure based on the angular position information and on a combustion component of the vibration signal.

    Abstract: Supercapacitor-based sensors having flexible solid-state electrolytic elements are described. The deformation of the electrolytic element in response to an applied force or strain changes the area of capacitive layers defined by contacting surfaces of the electrolytic element and one or more electrodes of the sensor. The resulting change in capacitance of the capacitive double layers is indicative of the magnitude of the applied force or of the strain. The flexible solid-state electrolytic element may include cellulosic material distributed in a cured ionic polymeric matrix. Techniques for forming the flexible solid-state electrolytic element include wetting a cellulosic material with a photocurable composition comprising an ionic liquid, a prepolymer composition, and a photoinitiator, and photocuring the photocurable composition for a predetermined curing period by exposing the wetted cellulosic material to a predetermined curing wavelength.

    Abstract: A position sensing system for measuring a position of a linearly moving object includes a high magnetic permeability material positioned on the moving object, an electromagnet configured to generate an alternating magnetic field, and at least one magnetic sensor configured to measure an intensity of a first magnetic field that is based on the alternating magnetic field. A controller is configured to estimate a linear position of the moving object based on the measured intensity of the first magnetic field.

    Abstract: One example is directed to an end effector position estimation system for an off-road vehicle, which includes at least one inertial measurement unit (IMU) configured to be positioned on at least one of actuators and links of the vehicle that together move the end effector of the vehicle, and configured to generate measurement signals. The position estimation system includes at least one other IMU configured to be positioned on a base of the vehicle, and configured to generate other measurement signals. The position estimation system includes an estimation unit to estimate a position of the end effector of the vehicle based at least in part on the measurement signals and the other measurement signals, wherein the estimation unit is configured to perform an estimation method that removes an influence of terrain-induced vibrations and terrain slope in the measurement signals based on the other measurement signals.

    Abstract: A position sensing system for measuring a position of a moving object includes a first magnetic sensor configured to measure an intensity of a magnetic field produced by the moving object. The system includes a controller configured to estimate a position of the moving object based on a nonlinear model of the magnetic field produced by the moving object as a function of position around the moving object, and based on the measured intensity of the magnetic field produced by the moving object.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes devices, system, and a method for the prediction and prevention of acute decompensated heart failure or other patient conditions involving fluid accumulation in legs or hands. In one example, a wearable device contains a drift-free leg-size sensor and a tissue-elasticity sensor. Both sensors may be relatively inexpensive and developed using innovative new sensing ideas. Preliminary tests with the sensor prototypes show promising results: the leg-size sensor is capable of measuring 1 mm changes in leg diameter and the tissue-elasticity sensor can detect 0.15 MPa differences in elasticity. In another example, a wearable system includes sensors for measuring a variety of physiological parameters, a processing module, and a communication module. A low-profile instrumented sock, e.g., a wearable device, with multiple sensors can provide an indication of heart failure status for a patient.
