A MEMS accelerometer is a sensor that can be used to measure vibration, shock or change in velocity. By deploying many of these detectors as part of a complete sensor network, HP will enable real-time ...
TDK Corp. has extended its range of high-temperature microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) inertial sensors. The sensor, ...
TDK Corporation has expanded Tronics’ high-performance MEMS inertial sensor portfolio with the launch of the AXO315®T1, a ...
Most sensors fail in hot, shaky, deep drilling. This sensor keeps measurements accurate and helps engineers handle tough ...
This application note explains the integration of a Kionix MEMS tri-axis accelerometer into a handheld electronic compass application. Required theory, plots, equations and circuit block diagrams are ...
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 ...
Accelerometers turn motion into measurable signals. From tilt and vibration to g-forces, they underpin countless designs. In this “Fun with Fundamentals” entry, we demystify their operation and take a ...
Miniature smart sensor combines 3-axis digital accelerometer with embedded microcontroller, operating as sensor hub that runs sensor-fusion algorithms, together in ultra-compact package called iNEMO-A ...
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 ...
