MEMS accelerometers, gyroscopes, pressure sensors, microphones, and temperature sensors are now standard components in smartphones, wearables, autonomous vehicles, drones, and smart medical devices.

STMicroelectronics claims first IMU with dual MEMS accelerometer and embedded AI with impact detection up to 320 g.

A new design paradigm in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is tackling longstanding trade-offs between sensitivity and bandwidth by introducing ...

Abstract: Precise calibration of multi-axis microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) force sensors is difficult for several reasons, including the need to apply many known force vectors at precise ...

They take the idea of a set of traditional eyeglasses, and add in high-tech magic borrowed from smartphones: speakers, microphones, sensor arrays, wireless chips, batteries and miniature displays.

The advent of the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor provides a potential entry point to overcome the difficulty in measuring temporal and spatial variations in shear stress. We, hereby, ...
