Wearers simply navigate the cursor by perusing their thumb across the Touch Control sensor capable of a 1000dpi sensitivity.
Hillcrest's patented motion control software platform provides a sensor-agnostic solution for motion control devices using accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers (compasses) in a variety of configurations.
Marketing the sensor as a birth control tool had lawsuits written all over it.

"You want to leverage the lessons that we've learned and the capabilities in command and control and sensor management that we've learned in ballistic missiles and apply that to cruise missiles rather than building a separate system, " he said.
CENTERFORSECURITYPOLICY: STRATCOM: Safe, reliable deterrence critical
The sensor and the motors that control the sensors are well out of the way, Aram said.
The other big miss that we're told will be addressed eventually is that Bobby doesn't support RS-232 control or the sensor functions of the GC-100-6.
The researchers says their attack would allow an intruder to take control of a sensor network with just a laptop, an antenna, and their exploit written in Java.

You can also add an optional 2.4GHz gyroscopic remote control and a PrimeSense motion sensor just for giggles.
Especially when used with large aperture lenses, the EOS 6D camera's full-frame sensor offers a tremendous degree of creative control over depth-of-field, helping users to achieve pro-quality cinematic effects in Full HD video recordings.

Freespace Sensor Modules are used by engineers to add inertial motion control to a product without having to learn about motion sensing or MEMS. These compact modules, the smallest of which is 9mm x 19mm x 2.5mm, are pre-calibrated for mass production, provide a well-documented API for interpreting motion, and provide data such as cursor position, linear acceleration, angular position, and angular velocity to enable the creation of novel applications.
Freespace Sensor Modules: For companies that want to easily integrate motion control into their own products, Hillcrest launched a line of new embeddable modules.
Featuring a new 12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor, a high-performance NIKKOR lens and full manual control settings, Nikon's new flagship COOLPIX camera can unleash a photographer's inner creativity and inspire truly magnificent images.

If a sensor detects a problem, the RFID tag transmits this to the control unit which can emit an (audible) alarm or shut off the water supply.
The key functions of the MotionEngine are sensor fusion, calibration, 3D device motion, gestures, and cursor control, which are implemented with sensors from a variety of the leading MEMS suppliers.
For instance, a malfunctioning oxygen sensor accounted for about 28 percent of Mini repairs in 2012, while bad ignition control modules accounted for 26 percent of Saab repairs, according to CarMD.
