In this paper, a simple but effective method for compensation of the quadrature error in MEMS vibratory gyroscope is provided. The proposed method does not require any change in the sensor structure, or additional circuit in the feedback path. The mathematical relations of the proposed feedback readout system were analyzed and the proposed solution assures good rejection capabilities. Based on ...

In this paper we describe a pervasive location-based game we implement as an evaluation method in our user trials. We test the robustness and usability of a prototype digital-physical map technology called MapLens. We also seek to better understand what the technology might be most useful for. The playful tasks of the game echo real-use tasks, and include elements of social interaction—cooperat...
