/**
 * Definition of the axis
 * ----------------------
 *
 * This API is relative to the screen of the device in its default orientation,
 * that is, if the device can be used in portrait or landscape, this API
 * is only relative to the NATURAL orientation of the screen. In other words,
 * the axis are not swapped when the device's screen orientation changes.
 * Higher level services /may/ perform this transformation.

 *   x<0         x>0
 *                ^
 *                |
 *    +-----------+-->  y>0

 *    |           |
 *    |           |
 *    |           |   / z<0

 *              /
 *             /
 *           |/ z>0 (toward the sky)
 *
 *    O: Origin (x=0,y=0,z=0)
 *
 *
 * Orientation
 * ----------- 
 * 
 * All values are angles in degrees.
 * 
 * azimuth: angle between the magnetic north direction and the Y axis, around 
 *  the Z axis (0<=azimuth<360).
 *      0=North, 90=East, 180=South, 270=West
 * 
 * pitch: Rotation around X axis (-180<=pitch<=180), with positive values when
 *  the z-axis moves toward the y-axis.
 *
 * roll: Rotation around Y axis (-90<=roll<=90), with positive values when
 *  the x-axis moves AWAY from the z-axis.
 * 
 * Note: This definition is different from yaw, pitch and roll used in aviation
 *  where the X axis is along the long side of the plane (tail to nose).
 *  
 *  
 * Acceleration
 * ------------
 *
 *  All values are in SI units (m/s^2) and measure the acceleration of the
 *  device minus the force of gravity.
 *  
 *  x: Acceleration minus Gx on the x-axis 
 *  y: Acceleration minus Gy on the y-axis 
 *  z: Acceleration minus Gz on the z-axis
 *  
 *  Examples:
 *    When the device lies flat on a table and is pushed on its left side
 *    toward the right, the x acceleration value is positive.
 *    
 *    When the device lies flat on a table, the acceleration value is +9.81,
 *    which correspond to the acceleration of the device (0 m/s^2) minus the
 *    force of gravity (-9.81 m/s^2).
 *    
 *    When the device lies flat on a table and is pushed toward the sky, the
 *    acceleration value is greater than +9.81, which correspond to the
 *    acceleration of the device (+A m/s^2) minus the force of 
 *    gravity (-9.81 m/s^2).
 *    
 *    
 * Magnetic Field
 * --------------
 * 
 *  All values are in micro-Tesla (uT) and measure the ambient magnetic
 *  field in the X, Y and Z axis.
 *
