Scientists are improving the sensitivity of MEMS accelerometers by using an efficient yet simple and manufacturable design, which can be applied in sport, communication, transportation and defense.

Motion parameter transducers encapsulate a broad class of sensors that convert mechanical motion into electrical signals, facilitating quantitative analysis of dynamic systems. Within this category, ...

Inertial navigation systems use information provided by accelerometers and gyroscopes to provide the position and orientation of an object relative to a predetermined origin point, orientation and ...
