The design and fabrication of the proposed MEMS accelerometer. a Schematic diagram of the accelerometer with two-layered proof mass. The upper layer has flexures, stiffness tuning electrodes, and ...

Accelerometers turn motion into measurable signals. From tilt and vibration to g-forces, they underpin countless designs. In this “Fun with Fundamentals” entry, we demystify their operation and take a ...

A significant increase in the demand of accelerometers is expected as the market for consumer electronics, such as smartphones, and social infrastructure monitoring applications are expanding. Such ...

Accelerometers are essential sensors used in a wide range of applications including shock and vibration testing, car safety systems, and today's hand-held consumer devices. Generally, they sense the ...

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 ...

Accelerometers—devices that measure change in velocity—are built into automobiles, airplanes, cell phones, pacemakers, and scores of other products. They warn of potentially destructive vibrations in ...

Kionix has announced the mass production of its KXG03 6-axis accelerometer-gyroscope combo and the unveiling of two new flagship 6-axis accel-gyro combos: the KXG07 and the KXG08. Tuesday 14 January ...

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 ...
