Second, our algorithm partitions the normalized map so that several landmarks are overlapped in the partitioned sub-maps. Hence the sub-maps can be largely displayed on wristwatch-type wearable devices and the pedestrian can recognize his/her location even when the sub-maps displayed are changed.

As measures of the problem, the authors applied the sliding mode control theory to a delta-sigma modulator. A stability of a delta-sigma modulator improved without dropping signal-to-noise ratio by designing a switching hyperplane and a sliding mode controller.

The effective integration time can also be increased, and thus relaxing the requirements of opamp.
