MEMS (micro electromechanical system) inertial sensor technology provides a major structural shift in mechanical sensing. When the performance meets their needs, system developers welcome trading ...
How do piezoelectric accelerometers — vibration sensors — work? The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the sensor's mass to “squeeze” contained piezoelectric ...
An optomechanical accelerometer that uses light to measure acceleration. Credit: F Zhou/NIST An accelerometer that uses laser light instead of just mechanical strain can register changes as small as ...
This high-performance dual-axis MEMS accelerometer from Analog Devices can operate at up to 175°C. It is designed for down-hole geological drilling, operating in thin shafts that go down and snake ...
Most smartphones today contain an accelerometer - without them, the latest fitness apps don’t work - but a Stanford researcher has shown that the sensor can be used to “fingerprint” a device, or even ...
What keeps the Internet of Things from becoming a tangled jumble of incoming data from various connected devices? And within a single device that feeds information into the IoT, how does sensor fusion ...
