To sense shock, vibration, and/or linear motion, accelerometers are beginning to appear in a broad range of new applications. Common types of accelerometers for these applications�various ...

Explore how smartphone sensors and fusion use the accelerometer, gyro, GPS, and camera to power smoother navigation, motion tracking, and camera‑powered apps in everyday life. Pixabay, JESHOOTS-com ...

One of the most critical decisions in developing random vibration tests also is the most neglected. The location of the control accelerometer is one of the most critical decisions when developing ...

The device we are building, as mentioned before, is a vibration detector. For this reason, it should be placed indoors on the ground floor. The location in a building, especially on the upper floors, ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Technology (NIST) have developed a new type of accelerometer based on lasers and optomechanical principles rather than the traditional mechanical strain gauges ...

One of the few issues facing owners of the new iPhone 5s is the compass and built-in level: they are woefully off, leading to drifting issues in games that require the accelerometer for steering. How ...
