Abstract
The present application describes an integrated module. The integrated module includes a microcontroller, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a low-power accelerometer, and an environmental sensor. A distance between the environmental sensor and the IMU is greater than a distance between the IMU and the low-power accelerometer. The present application also describes a method of making an integrated module. The present application also describes a tamper detection system.
Claims20
