Abstract—(MEMS) Microelectromechanical systemsin consumer electronics are growing faster each year, with increasing demands from the mobile market, which is dominating the growth for this emerging ...

The FXTH87 tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) family from Freescale Semiconductor is a system-in-package solution that provides low power consumption with a high level of functional integration.

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 ...

A family of accelerometers with ranges from 1.5 to 8g has been developed by Motorola. Aimed at sensing shock, vibration, tilt, movement or acceleration, the sensors include signal conditioning, ...

The DXI 100/200 Series of single and dual-axis inclinometers and the DXA 100/200 Series of single and dual-axis accelerometers feature a digital output with a resolution of 0.001°; provide both high ...

This article discusses how to improve tilt measurement accuracy using an accelerometer like a combo part. Electric park brakes (EPBs) are used on passenger vehicles to hold the vehicle stationary on ...

In a conference room at Analog Devices (ADI), Howard Wisniowski holds a demo board a little bigger than a commemorative stamp about a meter above the table top. An ADI motion sensor and associated ...

Analog Devices’ latest MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) device is an accelerometer for higher accuracy low-g applications. The accuracy, says the supplier, comes from increased temperature ...

Most of the latest 3-axis digital-MEMS accelerometers on the market can generate interrupts for a number of applications. Some of the applications—such as screen rotation, wakeup, freefall, single ...
