Abstract: One embodiment involves a usage code system comprising an electrical device powered by a battery only if the battery contains a characteristic usage code. Another embodiment involves a presence confirmation device that repeatedly sends wireless query signals. The electrical device receives the query signals and responds by sending a wireless confirmation signal to the presence confirmation device. The presence confirmation generates an alert if it does not receive the confirmation signal after a certain time period after sending a query signal to the electrical device. Yet another embodiment involves a motion sensor that measures motion data from which translation of an electrical device is determined. If a net translation of the device is greater than or equal to a defined threshold, an alert system generates an alert or increases a polling rate at which new motion data is periodically received from the motion sensor.

Always-available embedded theft reaction subsystem
Michael Berger
- 22 Dec 2011
TL;DR: In this paper, a system comprising a platform protected by an always-on always-available security system is described, which includes a risk behavior logic to detect a potential problem, a core logic component to provide logic to analyze the potential problem and to move the platform to a suspecting mode, and the security action logic, to send periodic alerts to a security server when the platform is in the suspecting state, the alert including movement related data, such that the security server can take an action to protect the platform.

System and method for energy efficient measurement of sensor signal
Andreas Dorfner
- 13 Mar 2014
TL;DR: In this article, a method for improving robustness of a capacitive sensor system has been proposed, where received sensor signals are filtered by a band-pass filter having a first center frequency, polling sensor data at a first rate using the sensor system, determining whether a polled sensor value is meeting a predetermined threshold, and verifying that sensor data polled at a second rate are consistent.
