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 ...

Accelerometers turn motion into measurable signals. From tilt and vibration to g-forces, they underpin countless designs. In this “Fun with Fundamentals” entry, we demystify their operation and take a ...

Before we dive into the action packed, fun filled adventures of this week’s Android customization post on Android sensors, did you get the chance yet to have your phone automatically adjust the volume ...

The ability to measure, monitor, and analyze vibration is essential to many industries and areas of research & development. Unfortunately, the proper methods for creating an accurate and repeatable ...

Apple is looking to advance the design of its bundled iPhone EarPods by potentially implanting an accelerometer into the earbud portion that could recognize voice activity, which in turn would ...

Bosch has included ±28g accelerometers in its latest 3D inertial measurement unit, aimed at sports wearables. Called BHI385, it also includes a 32bit processor running embedded AI software “creating a ...

What keeps the Internet of Things from becoming a tangled jumble of incoming data from various connected devices? And within a single device that feeds information into the IoT, how does sensor fusion ...
