    Abstract: A method for determining a current estimated gyroscope bias of a gyroscope configured to output rotation rate data includes receiving first rotation rate data associated with a first time from the gyroscope, the first rotation rate data comprising a first rotation rate reading that indicates a rotation rate of the gyroscope about a first axis; calculating a rotation rate moving average and a rotation rate moving average associated with a second time earlier than the first time; calculating a moving standard deviation based on the first rotation rate data, and a moving standard deviation associated with the second time; determining if the moving standard deviation associated with the first time is less a threshold moving standard deviation; and in response the moving standard deviation being less than the threshold moving standard deviation, using the first rotation rate reading to update the current estimated gyroscope bias.

    Abstract: A drive arrangement for moving a body along a path with respect to first and second media guides, the first media guide conveying a medium at a first velocity along the path and the second media guide conveying the medium at a second velocity different to the first velocity along the path, the drive arrangement being configured to (a) interact with the medium of the first media guide so as to extract energy therefrom and thereby develop a reaction force against the first media guide for driving the body to move along the path, and (b) interact with the medium of the second media guide by means of energy extracted from the medium of the first media guide so as to develop a reaction force against the second media guide for driving the body to move along the path.

    Abstract: A motion simulator for imposing loads on an occupant, the simulator having: a movable carrier for supporting the occupant; a first drive mechanism for moving the carrier; multiple loading elements configured for attachment to the occupant when the occupant is supported by the carrier; a second drive mechanism for actuating the loading elements to apply loads to the occupant; and a controller, the controller being configured to implement a simulation of a motion event by: (i) estimating a motion of the carrier consistent with the motion event and controlling the first drive mechanism to cause the carrier to adopt the estimated motion; (ii) estimating a first load on the occupant consistent with the motion event; (iii) estimating a second load on the occupant due to the motion adopted by the carrier and (iv) controlling the second drive mechanism to cause the second drive mechanism to apply to the occupant a load that is the difference between the first estimated load and the second estimated load.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining an unworn state of a sensor system comprising a pair of sensors configured for mounting on first and second body parts either side of a joint. The method comprises: obtaining one or more measurements from each sensor; calculating a relative angle between the two sensors using one or more of the obtained one or more measurements; calculating, using one or more of the obtained one or more measurements, a joint angle between the first and second body parts, where the joint angle is defined in a plane of normal bending of the joint; and determining, based on the calculated angles, whether either of the sensors is not mounted and if so, determining that the system is in an unworn state. Also disclosed is a system for providing information about a joint.

    Abstract: A processing system for processing data defining behavior of a physical system, the processing system being configured to operate on: (i) a plurality of data definition objects, each data definition object defining a method for computing one or more output result values for that object in dependence on one or more input values for that object; and (ii) a dependency schema defining one or more dependencies among the data definition objects, each dependency being such that a first data object is dependent on a second data object when the first data object takes as a required input value an output value of the second data object; the data processing system being capable of raising each data definition object to a computed state by executing the method defined in the respective data definition object to thereby compute one or more output values for that data definition object; and being configured to receive from a user an instruction indicating a request to raise a specific data definition object to a computed state, and in response to that instruction to automatically raise data definition objects on which that specific data definition object defines itself as being directly or indirectly dependent to a computed state.
