Abstract
A sensing apparatus comprising a displacement sensor element arranged to sense a separation between a first element () and a second element () movably mounted with respect to the first element; an acceleration sensor element configured to sense an acceleration associated with the first element; displacement measurement circuitry (A) configured to make a measurement indicative of separation on the basis of the sensed separation; acceleration measurement circuitry (C) configured to make a measurement of acceleration on the basis of the sensed acceleration; and a processing element (D) configured to output a signal to indicate there is determined to be a change in the separation of the second element relative to the first element on the basis of the measurement indicative of separation and the measurement of acceleration.
