A METHOD FOR SWITCHING BETWEEN ACCELEROMETER AND GYROSCOPE TO SENSE CADENCE ON A BICYCLE
A power meter may determine pedaling cadence using acceleration data from the accelerometer. When the power meter determines a first condition indicative that quality of the cadence is below a desired level, the power meter activates the gyroscope and determines the cadence using rotational data from the gyroscope. When the power meter subsequently determines that the first condition no longer remains, the power meter deactivates the gyroscope and determines the cadence using the acceleration data from the accelerometer.

VIRTUAL INERTIA ENHANCEMENTS IN BICYCLE TRAINER RESISTANCE UNIT
A method and apparatus for detecting and varying indoor bicycle trainer pedaling resistance in varying manner to replicate the effects of increased system inertia. The effects of inertia are replicated by limiting acceleration/deceleration of the crank by application of increased/decreased unit resistance applied to pedaling. Thus, the decreased magnitude of acceleration events imitates the effects an increased system mass (inertia) perceived by the rider, enhancing "road feel", which is synonymous with the feeling of accelerating one's own inertia while cycling outdoors. This is accomplished through sensors used to detect or determine crank position with a high resolution, a method of providing and varying resistance, such as an eddy current resistance device using either electromagnets or permanent magnets and a microcontroller to calculate the required magnetic field strength and adjust the field strength or magnet position in the resistance unit to facilitate the change required as determined by the outlined algorithm.

Virtual inertia enhancements in bicycle trainer resistance unit
A method and apparatus for detecting and varying indoor bicycle trainer pedaling resistance in varying manner to replicate the effects of increased system inertia. The method uses a high-resolution position detection method to correlate crank acceleration and deceleration to resistance level. The effects of inertia are replicated by limiting acceleration of the crank by application of increased resistance unit resistance and deceleration via reduction of the resistance applied to pedaling. Thus, the decreased magnitude of acceleration events imitates the effects an increased system mass (inertia) perceived by the rider, enhancing “road feel”, which is synonymous with the feeling of accelerating one's own inertia while cycling outdoors. This is accomplished through sensors used to detect or determine crank position with a high resolution, a method of providing and varying resistance, such as an eddy current resistance device using either electromagnets or permanent magnets and a microcontroller to calculate the required magnetic field strength and adjust the field strength or magnet position in the resistance unit to facilitate the change required as determined by the outlined algorithm.

Adhesively coupled power-meter for measurement of force, torque, and power and associated methods
An adhesively coupled power-meter measures one or more of force, torque, power, and velocity of a mechanical arm. The power meter includes a plate with a first surface prepared for adhesively coupling to the mechanical arm. At least one strain gauge is physically coupled with a second surface, opposite the first, of the plate and with an orientation corresponding to an orientation of the adhesively coupled power meter such that mechanical forces are transferred from mechanical arm to the at least one strain gauge when the plate is adhesively coupled to the mechanical arm. The power meter also includes electronics for receiving a signal from the at least one strain gauge and for determining one or more of force, torque, power and velocity from the signal, and a wireless transmitter for transmitting one or more of force, torque, power and velocity to a receiving device.

A system and a method determine an activity of a user. Sensor data is collected from a sensor within a pod worn by the user. The sensor data is matched to a signature definition corresponding to a known activity and the sensor. When the sensor data matches the signature definition, the activity of the user is determined. Sensed data, signature data, and/or matched signature data may be communicated to and from external devices. Signatures may be learned for known activities.
