Freescale is providing advanced acceleration sensor technology to Fujitsu. Fujitsu is using them to help protect business-critical data stored on hard disks (HDDs) in mobile PCs. 3-axis accelerometers ...
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 ...
Accelerometers turn motion into measurable signals. From tilt and vibration to g-forces, they underpin countless designs. In this “Fun with Fundamentals” entry, we demystify their operation and take a ...
