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 advent of small, low-g IC accelerometers is stimulating new applications as diverse as security systems and sports and health monitors. The ability to use human movement and gesture as inputs to ...

MEMS-based accelerometers are increasingly deployed in harsh environments where mechanical stress is not just expected but constant.

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 ...

US-based accelerometer (g-sensor) design company Kionix is expected to see 15-20% growth in its g-sensor product shipments in 2009 because it has successfully cut into the supply chains of Motorola ...

ST has integrated six accelerometers into a 2.5 x 3mm inertial measurement unit for sports wearables. “Capable of measuring events ranging from slight movements to intense impacts with equal accuracy, ...

Sitronix Technology has developed its first 3-axis accelerometer with a launch expected to come soon, according to industry sources. The company is also looking to tap the markets... Driven by the ...

Those looking for extended measurement capabilities in terms of, say, shock detection and sports-equipment safety testing, may want to consider API Technologies’ new high-g digital accelerometer Those ...
