MEMS sensors include accelerometers to measure linear acceleration and earth gravity vectors, gyroscopes to measure angular velocity, magnetometers to measure earth’s magnetic fields for heading ...

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

Microelectromechanical-systems (MEMS) technology uses micro fabrication techniques to combine microelectronics capabilities with the mechanical properties of microsensors. Increasingly, MEMS ...

TDK Corp. has introduced the miniature Tronics AXO315 one-axis, closed-loop MEMS accelerometer with a 24-bit digital SPI interface in a SMD package. The company claims the force-rebalance MEMS ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. The use of MEMS accelerometers to sense rapid deceleration for airbag deployment is well over a decade old and considered a well-known technology.

ADI’s ADXL375 200-g digital MEMS accelerometer delivers more than twice the bandwidth at less than half the power consumption of competing sensors used to measure high-g events. NORWOOD, ...

A MEMS accelerometer is a sensor that can be used to measure vibration, shock or change in velocity. By deploying many of these detectors as part of a complete sensor network, HP will enable real-time ...

Standard Finite Element (FE) models, especially those that incorporate multiple physical domains, consist of detailed representations of a device that include a large number of Degrees of Freedom (DoF ...

Industries and R&D sites depend on sensors to measure, monitor and analyze vibrations. Unfortunately, the best ways to get accurate and repeatable vibration data are not clear to many engineers; they ...

When it comes to testing microelectromechanical system devices and sensors, sometimes you have to shake and bake. and sensors are physically different from standard ICs. They require a specific type ...

Most people’s personal experience with seismographs begins and ends with simple childhood science experiments. Watching a pendulum make erratic marks on a piece of paper while your classmates banged ...
