One of the most common transducers used in automotive tests is the accelerometer; it measures forces as well as the amount of vibration experienced by components and systems. Like all things analog, ...

Previous studies have shown that miniaturised accelerometers can be used to monitor cardiac function and automatically detect ischemic events. However, accelerometers cannot differentiate between ...

This article discusses how to improve tilt measurement accuracy using an accelerometer like a combo part. Electric park brakes (EPBs) are used on passenger vehicles to hold the vehicle stationary on ...

You're going at the speed limit down a two-lane road when a car barrels out of a driveway on your right. You slam on the brakes, and within a fraction of a second of the impact an airbag inflates, ...

Sedentary behaviour (SB) is an important risk factor for a number of chronic diseases. Although gaps remain in our knowledge of the elements of SB most associated with reduced health outcomes, ...

Eight different basic and socketed boards, evaluation kits, a demonstration board and demo box allow engineers to explore the capabilities of MEMSIC's unique accelerometer design. The Micro Electro ...

Capable of measuring either rotational or torsional accelerations, the Model 7302BM4 angular accelerometer consists of a temperature compensated, piezo-resistive accelerometer and a Wheatstone bridge ...

When people overextend their step length, it leads to an increase in vertical movement and braking force. The overextension elevates landing impacts, which may increase pain in the knees or lower back ...

Researchers in Stockholm, Sweden have created the world's smallest accelerometer, which measures the force of acceleration, according to new research published in the scientific journal Nature ...

A new supplier for the accelerometer part in the iPhone 5s could be causing incorrect level and compass measurements in the new device, an issue that was first noticed earlier this month. Both devices ...
