Designed for automotive and off-highway testing, the gas-damped model 3711 MEMS dc-response accelerometer provides micro-g resolution and 10,000-g shock survivability. The sensor measures 21.6 x 21.6 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The iPhone detects movement and tilting of the handset through its built-in accelerometers. These devices are able to detect movement in six different directions and relay that information to games ...

If auto-rotate on your Samsung device has suddenly stopped, the issue can be due to a number of reasons such as an app problem, a software glitch, a firmware error, or a bad sensor. Although not ...
