In a conference room at Analog Devices (ADI), Howard Wisniowski holds a demo board a little bigger than a commemorative stamp about a meter above the table top. An ADI motion sensor and associated ...

Most of the latest 3-axis digital-MEMS accelerometers on the market can generate interrupts for a number of applications. Some of the applications—such as screen rotation, wakeup, freefall, single ...

Apple sure had a good year in 2010 and the winning streak may continue if other phone and tablet makers can't present any game changers. Having just beat Microsoft finally in net profits and climbing ...

Capable of measuring events ranging from slight movements to intense impacts with equal accuracy, the new sensor enables enhanced features in devices such as wearables and sports trackers. By ...

Inertial navigation systems use information provided by accelerometers and gyroscopes to provide the position and orientation of an object relative to a predetermined origin point, orientation and ...

Silicon Sensing Systems’ inertial sensor platform underpins a newly introduced navigation instrument for north orientation from Kongsberg Discovery AS, with a live showing planned at Oceanology ...

The rotating-mass gyroscope, which lies at the heart of inertial measurement units (IMUs), has served very successfully from the 1930s to the 1970s, guiding astronauts, spacecraft, missiles, and more.

Two new looks at the gyroscope found in Apple's iPhone 4 offer a closer examination of the technology behind the motion sensor, as well as an indication that the feature will be added to a future ...

The multitude of sensors found in devices like the iPhone 4, iPad and iPod touch have made Apple the second-largest buyer of microelectromechanical sensors, with the company positioned to overtake ...
