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 ...

MEMS inertial-sensors technology has been driven by automotive safety systems; as such, the technology has been applied to several high-volume applications. The large volumes associated with ...

Accelerometers are used in vehicles for applications such as airbag deployment, electronic stability control (ESC), and tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS). Airbag systems incorporate ...

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 ...

STMicroelectronics' new AIS2IH three-axis linear accelerometer has been designed to bring enhanced resolution, temperature stability, and mechanical robustness to a broad range of non-safety ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sensors are increasingly important in mobile devices. Combining data from cameras, microphones, inertial sensors, beacons (e.g., GPS) and proximity-based sensors can greatly improve the accuracy and ...
