One of the most common transducers used in automotive tests is the accelerometer; it measures forces as well as the amount of vibration experienced by components and systems. Like all things analog, ...

Objective Self-reports of physical activity (PA) have been the mainstay of measurement in most non-communicable disease (NCD) surveillance systems. To these, other measures are added to summate to a ...

Bruel & Kjaer has created a range of robust CCLD accelerometers for vibration measurements in harsh industrial environments. Online, November 4, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The new Type 4533-B and Type 4534 ...

When different laboratories test the same accelerometer, such as the one in your smartphone, they often come up with very different values. There are several possible reasons: Perhaps the axes of the ...

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 ...

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif., 16 May 2011. Endevco Corp. in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., is introducing the rugged model 7270AM6 high-G piezoresistive shock accelerometer for extreme test and ...

Measurement Specialties, now part of TE Connectivity, has released the Model 7132AHT, a high-temperature, miniature accelerometer with nonlinearity of ±1% FSO across dynamic ranges from ±50 g to ±2000 ...

A new supplier for the accelerometer part in the iPhone 5s could be causing incorrect level and compass measurements in the new device, an issue that was first noticed earlier this month. Both devices ...
