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 ...
Inertial navigation systems usually use gyroscopes to sense angular motion and use accelerometers to sense linear acceleration. It is feasible, however, using only linear accelerometers as sensors, to ...
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 ...
Rotary versus linear. Rotary encoders measure angular motion or displacement and are needed for rotating shafts in motors, robotic joints or other rotating positioning systems. Linear encoders measure ...
It is shown that the angular acceleration and velocity of a rigid body can be determined from translational material acceleration measurements made by an observer on the body. An important ...
Applied Technology Associates, Inc., (ATA) has developed a new angular motion sensor based on the laws of magnetohydrodynamics for the Department of Transportation. The magnetohydrodynamic angular ...
The inner ear (see image below) is particularly important because it contains sensors for both angular motion (the semicircular canals) and linear motion (the otoliths). These sensors are called ...
