Munich, Germany — A joint development effort between Seiko Epson Corp. and NGK Insulators, Ltd. has resulted in the development of the industry's smallest gyro-sensor, according to both companies.

“With tactical grade gyro performance available in ADI’s newest i Sensor motion sensor products, complex stabilization and GPS-aided dead-reckoning is more easily enabled,” said Bob Scannell, i Sensor ...

Engineers now design systems and products that include MEMS sensors, particularly MEMS gyroscopes, as essential components. These applications range from portable and wearable devices to industrial ...

The current state of the art of embedded motion sensing is based around micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) devices. These miracles of microfabrication use tiny silicon structures, configured to ...

The modern smartphone is only possible because of sensors. Their svelte form factor conceals accelerometers, magnetometers, temperature sensors, a GPS unit, and gyroscopes. They all consume volume and ...

Earlier this year the iPhone 4 became the first smartphone to boast a built-in gyroscope in addition to an accelerometer, proximity sensor and ambient light sensor. Combining a gyroscope with an ...
