A vibrating disc no bigger than a speck of dust could help to diagnose and monitor common types of cancer and provide specialists with information about the most appropriate therapy. The European ...

Entomologists and mechanical engineers ordinarily have little to do with one another. The first study bugs; the second design machinery. But last week the Sperry Gyroscope Co., designers of highbrow ...

There’s no doubting the wonders that micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology have brought to the world. With MEMS chips, your phone can detect the slightest movement, turning it into a ...

The ADXRS649 is a complete angular rate sensor (gyroscope) that uses the Analog Devices, Inc., patented high volume BiMOS surface-micromachining process to make a complete gyro on one chip. An ...

Complying with automotive-safety standards, the ADXRS800 iMEMS gyroscope features a patented differential-quad-beam architecture that minimizes the influence of linear shock and vibration. Sensitivity ...

Many important flight instruments are built around spinning gyroscopes, whose “rigidity in space” makes them try to keep pointing in a fixed direction. An instrument hitched to one or more of these ...

A small, inexpensive and highly accurate gyroscope could help drones and autonomous cars stay on track without a GPS signal. A small, inexpensive and highly accurate gyroscope, developed at the ...

The MEMS gyroscope has impacted so much of our everyday lives, in particular in consumer electronics, that engineers now design systems with this as an essential component. In the age of model-based ...
