Abstract—(MEMS) Microelectromechanical systemsin consumer electronics are growing faster each year, with increasing demands from the mobile market, which is dominating the growth for this emerging ...

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 ...

“Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology such as accelerometers for measuring acceleration and gyroscopes for measuring angular velocity have been implemented within several related devices ...

Just in the past two years, motion sensing technologies have begun appearing everywhere – video consoles, smart phones, TV remote controls and personal training devices – as we geo-tag our cell phone ...

Detects when an object is near to the phone. Most commonly used to sense when a phone is held up to the users ear to turn off the display. This saves both battery life and prevents accidental screen ...

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 ...
