Piezoresistive accelerometers utilise the intrinsic property of certain materials to alter their electrical resistance when subjected to mechanical strain. This phenomenon is harnessed within ...
The 'spooky action at a distance' that once unnerved Einstein may be on its way to being as pedestrian as the gyroscopes that currently measure acceleration in smartphones. The "spooky action at a ...
STMicroelectronics has introduced a 2.5 x 3mm inertial measurement IC with low (±16g) and high (±256g) range accelerometers and a gyroscope for angular rate measurement – all three-axis types.
