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 ...

Actually, I've done this experiment before (although with an iPod touch). Of course, it's a fun experiment so it seems worthwhile to repeat the measurement. Of course most smart phones have some type ...

It turns out that the name "smartphone" is pretty accurate, as we hold an incredibly complex piece of technology in our pockets. From the camera to the screen and everything in between, industry ...

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 ...

HP Labs just announced the development of a new accelerometer sensor that is 1,000 more sensitive then the current mass-produced technology. HP Labs is also using the sensors as part of their CeNSE ...

Just in the past two years, motion sensing technologies have begun appearing everywhere – video consoles, smart phones, TV remote controls and personal training devices – as we geo-tag our cell phone ...
