This study identifies the use of PE accelerometer to monitor engine vibrations as one of the prime reasons driving the Commercial Aircraft Piezoelectric Accelerometer Market growth during the next few ...

Piezoresistive accelerometers utilise the intrinsic property of certain materials to alter their electrical resistance when subjected to mechanical strain. This phenomenon is harnessed within ...

While drones typically use accelerometers to estimate the direction of gravity, the way flying insects achieve this has been shrouded in mystery until now, as they have no specific sense of ...

Scientists have discovered a novel manner for flying drones and insects to estimate the gravity direction. Whereas drones typically use accelerometers to this end, the way in which flying insects do ...

High-tech fitness and activity trackers all share one thing: an accelerometer. Here’s how they work — and don’t. Accelerometers record changes in motion relative to the device: up and down, side to ...

A new study published in npj Digital Medicine suggests that walking data collected from hip-worn accelerometers is viable for assessing the risk of falls in older women. While this specific ...

Our phones contain a disturbing amount of information about us. While calls, messages, app usage and location logs have all been used to profile users, phone accelerometers contain key information, ...
