The PocketCPR features an accelerometer that enables feedback on rate and depth of chest compressions during CPR. When a person experiences sudden cardiac arrest, chances of survival drop 7 to 10% ...

The dual-axis ADXL206 iMEMS (microelectromechanical-system) accelerometer has signal-conditioned analog-voltage outputs. The single-chip device measures both dynamic acceleration, such as tilt, and ...

Also known as inertial sensors, accelerometers are critical elements in key applications such as automotive air-bag deployment, smartphone motion tracking, and industrial predictive maintenance. These ...

ADI’s ADXL375 200-g digital MEMS accelerometer delivers more than twice the bandwidth at less than half the power consumption of competing sensors used to measure high-g events. NORWOOD, ...

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 ...

The demand for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resilient to harsh environments is growing. Silicon-based MEMS struggle under extreme conditions, limited by their performance at elevated ...

NORWOOD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 31, 2005--Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI), innovating in MEMS technology for over a decade, today added a 3-axis accelerometer to its iMEMS(R) family of motion ...

The team from the Sensing, Interaction & Perception Lab at ETH Zürich, Switzerland have come up with TapType, an interesting text input method that relies purely on a pair of wrist-worn devices, that ...

A tiny 3-axis MEMS accelerometer, the LIS2DTW12 from STMicroelectronics embeds a temperature sensor that boasts typical accuracy of 0.8°C. The device’s thin 2×2×0.7-mm LGA-12 plastic package allows it ...

Japanese researchers have developed and tested a prototype device—wearable on the fingertips—that incorporates the concept of 'light touch' to enhance the sense of balance. If widely implemented, the ...
