In camera How effective are in-camera integrated sensor cleaning systems, and have they improved?

Few years ago, Canon introduced some sort of internal sensor cleaning system that (as far as I understand it) shakes the sensor off any dust it collected during use. This shake is very high frequency.

Questions

  1. How effective is this system? What kind of dust is it actually able to remove? What's your experience.
  2. Where does the removed dust go? As it probably stays inside how likely is it that it land on the sensor again?
  3. Has the system been improved since its introduction?
  4. Does Nikon have equivalent system that works in a similar fashion or do they have something else (or nothing at all)?
