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 main function of the sensor is to identify and communicate with physical quantities such as temperature, heat, pressure, distance, moisture, gas, and so on. And, it provides output in the form of an electrical signal to connected control systems. You can easily understand this by the fol...
Different Types of Mobile Phone Sensors and their FunctionAccelerometerThe Accelerometer Sensor in a Smartphone (Both Android and Apple iPhone) can detect Tilt or Orientation of the Phone. It can also detect Vibration and Acceleration. It is basically this Sensor that helps to determine whether the...
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...
In this paper, we propose a method of impact source localization by using both accelerometer signals and AE signals, simultaneously. The main concept of impact location estimation is based on the arrival time difference of the impact stress wave between different sensor locations. However, it is ...
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...

Temperature Sensors A temperature sensor is a device that detects and measures the amount of heat energy/temperature from a particular source and converts the data for a device or user in an understandable...
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...
The most typically used mobile phones have various sensors, including accelerometer & gyroscope, digital compass, barometer, etc.,. Accelerometer & gyroscope sensors are used to detect the linear and angular rotation of the mobile phone by measuring the rate of change. Digital compass or magnetometer...
Accelerometer detects changes in speed per unit of time (e.g., linear or rotational).Applications And Advantages Of Passive Remote SensingAmong examples of passive sensors in remote sensing, Landsat data definitely stands out as the most long-lasting Earth-observing mission. It monitored our planet...
