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 ...

We barely notice them, but they're one of the most important features buried in the everyday smartphone experience. Accelerometers are devices that can measure acceleration (the rate of change in ...

Focused on the accelerometer-determined physical activity and sedentary time metrics in 9–11-year-old children, we sought to determine the following: (i) number of days that are necessary to achieve ...

Dmitry Vasilenko, of Arrow Electronics, provides some design hints to accelerate the mechanical model of an accelerometer. Micro-mechanical systems (MEMS) have become common. They are used for ...

One of the most critical decisions in developing random vibration tests also is the most neglected. The location of the control accelerometer is one of the most critical decisions when developing ...

An optomechanical accelerometer that uses light to measure acceleration. Credit: F Zhou/NIST An accelerometer that uses laser light instead of just mechanical strain can register changes as small as ...
