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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
