Abstract—(MEMS) Microelectromechanical systemsin consumer electronics are growing faster each year, with increasing demands from the mobile market, which is dominating the growth for this emerging ...

The current state of the art of embedded motion sensing is based around micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) devices. These miracles of microfabrication use tiny silicon structures, configured to ...

With the SWS1110, the accelerometers and inclinometers are showing best in class performance when compared to accelerometers and inclinometers already on the market. In accelerometers, noise density ...

Kionix has announced the mass production of its KXG03 6-axis accelerometer-gyroscope combo and the unveiling of two new flagship 6-axis accel-gyro combos: the KXG07 and the KXG08. Tuesday 14 January ...

Many of your smartphone's coolest feats are accomplished with a wide range of sensors—but what are they and what do they all actually do? Reading time 6 minutes Your smartphone is a remarkable feat of ...

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 ...

Sensor tags are helping quantify how animals interact with humans and their environment. The technology faces limitations of cost and scale, ethical decisions, and the challenges of big data analysis.
