One of the most difficult aspects of selecting an accelerometer for a particular application is interpreting the accelerometer’s specifications. Often you understand your test requirements well but ...

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 ...

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 ...

Meggitt Sensing Systems has made available its Endevco model 2280, a hermetically sealed, triaxial, piezoelectric charge output accelerometer with high-temperature operation to 482 degrees C (900 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Objective This systematic review assessed the completeness of accelerometer reporting in physical activity (PA) intervention studies and assessed factors related to accelerometer reporting. Design The ...

The 786T combines the versatility of the vendor’s most popular accelerometer, the 786A, with temperature measurement capability useful for bearing monitoring. “The 786T extends the life of bearings by ...

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 ...

Even if you’ve never attended a rave, you have probably seen one portrayed on film or television. Those glowing spheres-on-a-string being swung around are called poi, and [Matt Keeter] has designed a ...
