A vibration sensor is a detector that measures vibration levels in machinery, giving insight into the magnitude and frequency of vibration signals.
When a clockwise current as shown in the figure flows through the semiconductor thin film, electrons which are carriers of N-type semiconductors flow counterclockwise, and the velocity of the vector is assumed as "v". When applying a magnetic field B oriented as shown in the figure, electrons...
The longitudinal direction of the spring is called the “sensitivity axis.” When the sensor is subjected to a change in velocity along this axis, the proof mass will move, compressing the spring. The amount of this compression is proportional to the acceleration, so we can measure and ...
The principle of operation behind a servomechanism is encapsulated in the concept of feedback and control. A servomechanism typically comprises a sensor for measuring the output, a controller for processing this information and determining the appropriate response, and an actuator for executing the res...
This is a two-part series that dives into sensor fusion in relation to autonomous driving systems. In part 2, we will look at types of sensors and sensor fusion approaches. Sensors are a necessity for autonomous vehicles to function. They allow vehicles to understand the world and process ...
Learning about sensors is just the beginning of a fascinating journey into the world of technology and engineering. At YoungWonks, we believe in nurturing this curiosity and transforming it into valuable skills through hands-on learning experiences. OurCoding Classes for Kidsare designed to introduce...
IMU Sensor Working Principle We established in the introduction that IMUs measure orientation, velocity, and gravitational forces but how does it work to achieve that? How IMUs work IMUs work by detecting the rotational movement of the 3 axis, commonly known as Pitch, Roll, and Yaw. To ...
One electrode is stationary, while the other is an elastic diaphragm that changes. The capacitance changes as the elastic diaphragm is displaced by an external force (air pressure, hydraulic pressure, etc.). This sensor can measure the airflow (or liquid flow) vibration velocity (or acceleratio...
Servo control is the technology enabling the precise control of mechanical position, velocity, and acceleration through feedback and corrective actions. It’s a fundamental concept in robotics, automated manufacturing, and anywhere precise motion is required. This control method utilizes a servo mechanism...
Even though there is no firm agreement on what constitutes "big data" exactly, the term is usually applied to a data collection that meets the general criteria of volume, velocity, and variety: Volume: Big data most often means hundreds of terabytes of data, or more Velocity: Big data sets...
