Not surprisingly, with a device called an accelerometer. Once upon a time you'd have found gadgets like this only in space rockets or jumbo jets; now they're in virtually every car, many laptop computers, and all kinds of gadgets such as smartphones and games consoles. Let's take a ...
The accelerometer sensor is used to measure the acceleration of a body in any direction while the gyroscope measures rotational velocity or rate of change of the angular position over time, along the X, Y and Z axis. These sensors are used in combination to detect the velocity of an object....
The acceleration sensor is used for measuring acceleration and tilt. An accelerometer is a device used for measuring static or dynamic acceleration. The sensors provide a reading based on acceleration in singular or multiple directions at a particular time. Accelerometers come in various configurations,...
One of the most commonly used is the piezoelectric accelerometer. But they are bulky and cannot be used in every kind of operation, that is why a small and highly functional device like MEMS accelerometer was developed. These MEMS sensors have different applications such as gravity sensor, digita...
17. Accelerometer An accelerometer is an instrument that measures motion acceleration or velocity. It is used in many applications such as hand gesture controlled robots, navigation systems for aircraft and missiles, process and control systems, vehicle acceleration, and other rotating electronic equipment...
MEMS Accelerometer: Such inclinometers are termed MEMS Inclinometers. Currently, the MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology is being used to build the tilt sensor probe. The MEMS consists of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate through micr...
Or the integration can occur elsewhere, say in an accelerometer chip. For example build an altimeter and temp sensor interface into this chip. As has already been mentioned more functionality is inevitable. In some cases I have to wonder what the hold up is. Earendil macrumors 680...

Figure. 8 Capacitive Accelerometer Capacitive accelerometers/capacitive accelerometers are a type of acceleration sensor that is widely used. In some industries, such as airbags, mobile phones, and mobile devices, there is no equivalent. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are used in capacitive acc...
Definition:An accelerometer is an electromechanical tool that measures acceleration (the rate of change of velocity). The acceleration could be static, like acceleration due to gravity, or it could be dynamic like movement and vibrations caused by an external factor. ...
