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 ...
The sensors in your smart device are a big part of what make it, well, smart. Sensors allow our devices to understand context— they tell phones where they are in space and how we’re using them. This ...
The Endevco model 6240M10, a hermetically sealed piezoelectric charge-output accelerometer, can operate continuously at temperatures up to 649°C and intermittently to 760°C. The transducer’s ability ...
STMicroelectronics has developed a three-in-one motion sensor designed for industrial IoT systems requiring both precision ...
In an ongoing quest to bring you news about the guts of your next gadgets, here’s some riveting stuff about accelerometers. Remember when they first burst onto the scene? How much fun we had tilting ...
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "mCube MC3672: The smallest WLCSP MEMS Accelerometer for Wearables" report to their offering. With the MC3672, mCube has released the industry's ...
If auto-rotate on your Samsung device has suddenly stopped, the issue can be due to a number of reasons such as an app problem, a software glitch, a firmware error, or a bad sensor. Although not ...
Bosch has included ±28g accelerometers in its latest 3D inertial measurement unit, aimed at sports wearables. Called BHI385, it also includes a 32bit processor running embedded AI software “creating a ...
Cheap paper accelerometers? Put us down for a dozen to start. They’re not quite ready for mass production yet but it looks like they’re on the way. [George Whitesides] led a team to develop the new ...
