    摘要: A method may comprise measuring during a survey operation a gravitational field data using a survey accelerometer and magnetic field data using a survey magnetometer and determining during a drilling operation an azimuth of a wellbore based on the gravitational field data and the magnetic field data obtained during the survey operation. A system may comprise a drilling rig; a pipe string attached to the drilling rig; a bottom hole assembly attached to the pipe string, wherein the bottom hole assembly comprises at least one sensor; a drill bit, wherein the at least one sensor measure a revolutions-per-minute (RPM) of the drill bit; and a computing subsystem.

    摘要: A foldable mobile terminal apparatus and control method are provided. The apparatus includes a first section, a second section coupled to the first section and movable between a folded state and an unfolded state including a plurality of partially folded states, a flexible display coupled to the first and second sections, a first sensor, and at least one processor to, while the mobile terminal apparatus is partially folded, identify one of the partially folded states of the mobile terminal apparatus, and control the display to display information corresponding to a compass direction based on magnetic related information obtained by the first sensor and according to the identified partially folded states. The electronic device can prevent distortion of the first sensor caused by the display by calibrating the geomagnetic value of the sensor based on an angle between a first surface of a first section and a third surface of the second section.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for estimating the value of the angle of the direction of motion or of the walk of a person who carries a device capable of measuring the basic quantities related to his/her own inertia such as a common smartphone. The device is capable of measuring for example acceleration and angular rotation and to determine its orientation relative to Magnetic North. The estimation method in question is particularly suitable for estimating the direction angle of the individual's motion regardless of how the individual carries the device able to measure the main inertial quantities and consequently this method solves the problem of the determination of the relative attitude between the reference system of the carried device and the user reference system that moves within a generic absolute reference system.

    摘要: An aerosol delivery device is provided. The aerosol delivery device comprises a control component and a digital compass. The digital compass includes a multi-axis magnetometer configured to measure a magnetic field in an environment of the aerosol delivery device, and generate a corresponding signal that indicates a direction and strength of the magnetic field. The control component or the digital compass are configured to control operation of at least one functional element of the aerosol delivery device based on the direction and strength of the magnetic field indicated by the corresponding signal, or a direction of the aerosol delivery device relative thereto. Control of the at least one functional element includes output of the direction and strength of the magnetic field or the direction of the aerosol delivery device for presentation by a display.

    摘要: Disclosed is a system and method for calibrating a magnetometer. The method comprises responsive to a determination that a magnetic inclination is less than a threshold, measuring first magnetic field data by detecting a magnetic field with the magnetometer through a first rotation path, measuring second magnetic field data by detecting the magnetic field with the magnetometer through a second rotation path, and determining calibration values for the magnetometer based on the measured first magnetic field data and the measured second magnetic field data.
