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 ...

Accelerometers are increasingly ubiquitous in consumer devices and industrial applications, largely as a result of the advances in MEMS manufacturing techniques that have allowed the sensors to become ...

In a conference room at Analog Devices (ADI), Howard Wisniowski holds a demo board a little bigger than a commemorative stamp about a meter above the table top. An ADI motion sensor and associated ...

Just in the past two years, motion sensing technologies have begun appearing everywhere – video consoles, smart phones, TV remote controls and personal training devices – as we geo-tag our cell phone ...

Your Android phone hides powerful sensors that already handle navigation, security, and automation, but rarely get used ...

Geneva, Switzerland: The AIS328DQ automotive-grade, 3-axis, low-g accelerometer, which senses acceleration along axes, converts motion and tilt information into a high-resolution digital signal that’s ...

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 ...

When professional athletes are having their performance analyzed, it's certainly not unheard of for them to wear motion capture suits while training in a lab environment. Coaches and others can then ...

It is well documented that meeting moderate-to-vigorous physical activity guidelines of 150 min per week is protective against chronic disease, and this is likely explained by higher energy ...
