Activity-related energy expenditure (AEE) might be an important factor in the etiology of chronic diseases. However, measurement of free-living AEE is usually not feasible in large-scale ...

The three-axis LIS3DH digital-output accelerometer consumes as little as 2 μA of power and provides output across full-scale ranges of ±2, ±4, ±8, and ±16g. It contains a sensor and three ADC channels ...

To sense shock, vibration, and/or linear motion, accelerometers are beginning to appear in a broad range of new applications. Common types of accelerometers for these applications�various ...

Last fall, I grabbed a robot arm from Robot Geeks when they were on sale at Thanksgiving. The arm uses servos to rotate the base and move the joints and gripper. These work well enough but I found one ...

Anyone who has performed vibration tests is familiar with accelerometers, which are positioned on the EUT to measure the acceleration relative to the shaker and, most importantly, to find resonances.

Awide variety of accelerometers has been developed for measuring vibration, shock, and inertial motion. To reduce risk and ensure that meaningful and accurate data is collected, you must understand ...

This one’s pretty simple, but anyone who’s ever spent time tweaking an engine will appreciate it. [Kevin]’s been using a wiimote to measure the acceleration of his car. He put together a script to ...

According to a patent application published on Thursday, Apple is looking into advanced bone conduction technology that would enhance voice communications in an unannounced wireless earphone system.

Scientists from two US universities have found a way to attack accelerometers by using sound waves, a technique that has allowed them to spoof accelerometer signals and feed devices and applications ...

Advanced Sensors Calibration (ASC), has announced the introduction of three new families of 4-20 mA current output accelerometers for structural monitoring applications. The new release includes a low ...
