Applications that require precise information on the linear or angular movement of an object rely on the accuracy of motion sensors within. Accelerometers and gyroscopes can be used to provide this ...

MEMS specialist STMicroelectronics has integrated a 3 axis digital accelerometer with a 2 axis analogue gyroscope in a single module. By integrating the linear and angular motion sensors, ST says that ...

Introduction Prior to the 2013/2014 season, the International Ski Federation (FIS) increased the helmet testing speed from 5.4 to 6.8 m/s for alpine downhill, super-G and giant slalom. Whether this ...

Background The paper presents a novel laboratory method for assessing boxing headguard impact performance. The method is applied to examine the effects of headguards on head impact dynamics and injury ...

I saw this video on several places. It shows an astronaut playing with a CD player. I wish I were an astronaut. I would probably not stop throwing up though. It would still be worth it. You can only ...

The new Elesa MPI-R10 magnetic measuring system in IP54 or IP67 housing provides seven-digit remote readout of linear or angular measurements. Offering a solution which benefits the operative to ...

The easiest way to design a linear-motion system is to add components one by one. Then, step-by-step calculations relate input to power dissipated moving a load in a specific amount of time. Linear ...
