MEMS (micro electromechanical system) inertial sensor technology provides a major structural shift in mechanical sensing. When the performance meets their needs, system developers welcome trading ...
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 ...
Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) accelerometers and vibration sensors represent a rapidly evolving field with significant implications for structural health monitoring, seismic detection, and industrial ...
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 ...
Kionix’s KX23H integrated sensor hub packs a low-power three-axis accelerometer and a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller (MCU) into a 3- by 3- by 0.9-mm package. Kionix’s KX23H integrated sensor hub ...
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 ...
