Vernier Software & Technology has launched the new Go Direct® Sensor Cart for high school, middle school, and college physics students. The wireless dynamics cart allows students to easily analyze force, velocity, position, and acceleration using Bluetooth® wireless technology.
This summer, a research team headed by Professor Mike Fraser, Asier Marzo and Jess McIntosh from the Bristol Interaction Group (BIG) at the University of Bristol, along with University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust (UH Bristol), presented their paper at one of the world’s most renowned conferences on human-computer interfaces, ACM CHI 2017 held in Denver, USA.
STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications and the leading supplier of MEMS sensors for consumer products, is helping social-fitness fans stay motivated with innovative, smart motion sensors that enable always-on tracking applications to run for longer and record progress more accurately.
A major pollutant emitted by fossil fuel burning power plants and cars, is nitrogen dioxide (NO2). NO2 could cause irritation in the lungs, add to the formation of smog, and result in premature deaths worldwide.
Positioning, navigation, and timing are key to ensuring the location accuracy critical to the success of modern military missions. Today's military systems typically rely on the Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to ensure their position accuracy. While GPS provides sub-meter accuracy in optimal conditions, the signal is often lost or degraded due to natural interference or malicious jamming.
Type an email on your computer. Raise a glass to your lips. Feel for the light switch in a dark room. Simple, everyday tasks can demand subtle interactions between our hands and our surroundings, but, surprisingly, much remains unknown about the mechanics of the sense of touch.
The new sensor from Kistler Instruments (http://tinyurl.com/KIL-5451-8764B) is a miniature, through hole triaxial accelerometer available with measurement ranges of ±50g and ±100g designed for dynamic vibration measurements, especially where space is limited. Full scale signal output is ±5V for both ranges. Applications include automotive NVH and durability, space and aerospace vehicle testing and subsystem vibration testing.
u-blox, a global leader in wireless and positioning modules and chips, announces the release of NEO-M8U, the industry's first Untethered 3D Dead Reckoning (UDR) module. Combining multi-GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo) with an onboard 3D gyro/accelerometer, NEO-M8U provides accurate positioning even where GNSS signals are weak or not available. It achieves this without any connection to the vehicle other than power.
STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has revealed the latest generation of its highly miniaturized 6-axis MEMS inertial modules[1] with ultra-low-power design that strengthen the smartphone's emerging role as an "always-on" personal assistant and enhance user experiences for digital cameras, wearables and remote controls, game consoles, drones, and virtual reality.
University of California, Berkeley, scientists are releasing a free Android app that taps a smartphone's ability to record ground shaking from an earthquake, with the goal of creating a worldwide seismic detection network that could eventually warn users of impending jolts from nearby quakes.
