Abstract—(MEMS) Microelectromechanical systemsin consumer electronics are growing faster each year, with increasing demands from the mobile market, which is dominating the growth for this emerging ...

Objective Self-reports of physical activity (PA) have been the mainstay of measurement in most non-communicable disease (NCD) surveillance systems. To these, other measures are added to summate to a ...

The iPhone detects movement and tilting of the handset through its built-in accelerometers. These devices are able to detect movement in six different directions and relay that information to games ...

Many of your smartphone's coolest feats are accomplished with a wide range of sensors—but what are they and what do they all actually do? Reading time 6 minutes Your smartphone is a remarkable feat of ...

The just-launched Brain Sentry Impact Sensor™, a lightweight helmet-mounted impact-monitoring device, will use ST’s MEMS accelerometer to monitor head impacts that may cause concussions or other brain ...

Actually, I've done this experiment before (although with an iPod touch). Of course, it's a fun experiment so it seems worthwhile to repeat the measurement. Of course most smart phones have some type ...
