Abstract
An illustrative example embodiment of a sensing device includes a force sensor that detects a force and provides an output indicative of the detected force. An acceleration sensor detects acceleration and provides an output indicative of the detected acceleration. A processor receives the output from the force sensor and the acceleration sensor. The processor provides an indication of a relationship between the detected force and the detected acceleration.
Claims16
A sensing device, comprising:
- a force sensor that detects a force and provides an output indicative of the detected force;
- an acceleration sensor that detects acceleration and provides an output indicative of the detected acceleration;
- and
- a processor that receives the output from the force sensor and the acceleration sensor, the processor providing an indication of a relationship between the detected force and the detected acceleration.
