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 ...

To provide data that is more accurate with a faster response time than ever before, the Xtrinsic FXOS8700CQ 6-axis sensor combines a MEMS accelerometer and magnetometer with high resolution motion ...

The device we are building, as mentioned before, is a vibration detector. For this reason, it should be placed indoors on the ground floor. The location in a building, especially on the upper floors, ...

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 ...

Miniature smart sensor combines 3-axis digital accelerometer with embedded microcontroller, operating as sensor hub that runs sensor-fusion algorithms, together in ultra-compact package called iNEMO-A ...

It turns out that the name "smartphone" is pretty accurate, as we hold an incredibly complex piece of technology in our pockets. From the camera to the screen and everything in between, industry ...

Schematic diagrams of graphene NEMS accelerometers. a 3D schematic of the proposed graphene NEMS accelerometer. b 3D schematic of the cross-section of the graphene NEMS accelerometer. c, d Schematics ...

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

Tube trains of the future may soon know exactly where they are underground -- even in places where GPS is blind -- by tapping ...

On the smallest scales, our universe gets weird. Particles act like billiard balls or waves on water, depending how you probe them. Properties can't be measured simultaneously or tend to smear ...
