+</fig><p>The Sensor Services collection consists of the following components:</p><ul>
+<li><p><b>Sensor Framework</b>, which provides sensor server and plug-in interfaces
+for adding any new sensor plug-in as required. The framework also provides
+sensor channel APIs for creating a medium (sensor channel) of exchange between
+the client applications and the sensor hardware. The sensor plug-ins retrieve
+data from sensor hardware (through sensor channels) and enable the client
+applications to use the data for specific requirements. </p></li>
+<li><p><b>Data Compensator</b>, which uses data provided by the sensor plug-ins
+to correct the sensor axis data based on the current orientation of the Symbian
+device. This data can be used by the client applications to display the pages
+in portrait or landscape views.</p></li>
