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 ...

Dive into Part III of the Feynman Lectures as we explore the fixed bead parabola accelerometer! This tutorial breaks down the physics principles, step-by-step calculations, and practical applications, ...

We take it for granted now, but the fact that you can flip your phone from portrait to landscape mode depends on accelerometers. As everyone knows, though, the damn things often get it wrong, leaving ...

TDK Corporation has expanded its high-performance MEMS inertial sensors portfolio with Tronics AXO315 T1, a high-temperature MEMS accelerometer with ±14 g input range and a digital interface for ...

Handheld devices including smartphones and Tablet PCs have touch screens and many buttons for different functions. In order to save battery power, if the screen is not touched or the button is not ...

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 ...

The iPhone detects movement and tilting of the handset through its built-in accelerometers. These devices are able to detect movement in six different directions and relay that information to games ...

[Chris Suprock] is interested in using technology to improve your accuracy with a firearm. To that end, he’s using an Accelerometer mounted to a gun to gather feedback about each shot. The hardware ...
