Intended to address applications such as gaming control or other user motion-detection, the MMA62xxQ MEMS-based twin-axis accelerometer measures small forces resulting from tilt, motion, positioning, ...

Apple has opted to equip the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus with two separate accelerometers, as discovered in Chipworks' comprehensive iPhone 6 and 6 Plus teardown. There's a three-axis Bosch BMA280 ...

Quantifying the vibration of industrial machinery and using that information for condition monitoring (CM) has long been an ambitious goal, but also one with significant technical and implementation ...

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 ...

The latest triaxial accelerometers may provide the finishing touch to move current research projects into production. This certainly is the case for AcceleGlove, a research project of Jose L.

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 ...

Last fall, I grabbed a robot arm from Robot Geeks when they were on sale at Thanksgiving. The arm uses servos to rotate the base and move the joints and gripper. These work well enough but I found one ...

The same technology used in Nintendo's popular Wii video game console that lets you bowl strikes and hit tennis volleys like you're Venus Williams is also making its way into mobile handsets.
