MEMS INERTIAL SENSoRS have been around for more than 25 years, from the first prototypes developed in universities to initial product offerings from the likes of Analog Devices, Bosch, Motorola (now ...

MEMS-based accelerometers are increasingly deployed in harsh environments where mechanical stress is not just expected but constant.

Quantifying the vibration of industrial machinery and using that information for condition monitoring (CM) has long been an ambitious goal, but also one with significant technical and implementation ...

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) sensors have revolutionised gravimetry by enabling the realisation of compact, low-cost devices capable of measuring minute gravitational variations. These ...
