Thermal MEMS accelerometers are well-suited for inclination sensing in high vibration environments for several reasons. Their inherent low-pass response and zero resonance makes inclination sensing ...

The Toji Pagoda in Kyoto may look like an 1,200-year-old relic but it has also played its part in developing advanced smartphone technology.

The sensor consists of a combination of two surface micromachined MEMS sensing chips “- one forangular rate, one for two-axis acceleration “- stacked onto an application specific integrated circuit ...

The problem is that these two are at opposite ends of the volume and customization spectrum. But what if you could use 3D printing to create and build a one-off custom-designed MEMS sensor as ...

The first commercial MEMS devices evolved from the mid-1960s, reaching high-volume production in the 1990s, according to Roger Grace, a MEMS marketing consultant in Naples, Fla.

Larger 16×16 MEMS sensor arrays are currently being developed, which will provide finer lighting control, especially in open space environments. Coping with inrush currents Although presence detection ...

MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes are rapidly growing markets. Market research firm Yole Développement projects the combined market for MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes (Fig. 1) to reach about ...

STMicroelectronics' LPS001WP is a tiny silicon pressure sensor that uses aninnovative technology to provide extremely high resolution measurements ofpressure - and altitude - in an ultra-compact and ...
