With the right tools, fiber can be used to hear footsteps, detect ground movement, feel shifts in temperature and sense when ...

This module features a vibration sensor, an adjustable trimpot, and a comparator chip to give an adjustable digital output based on the amount of vibration. The multiturn trimpot can be adjusted to ...

The sensor enables features like precise head orientation tracking, optical/electronic image stabilization, and ...

Detecting and measuring gravitational waves requires the use of extremely sensitive instruments. Laser interferometry was pioneered in the 1970s by American physicist Rainer Weiss. This technique uses ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2022.200078 overviews advances in distributed fiber optic vibration/acoustic sensing technology. Distributed fiber optic ...

Smart glasses could get even smarter through custom sensing with a motion tracking IMU (inertial measurement unit)  from TDK ...

In Part 2, we discussed how aircraft vibrations can be a warning of impending failure. When a flight crew lands and reports “We heard/felt strange vibrations during flight,” a maintenance technician ...

Hundreds of companies are using Spot to increase reliability and uptime in their plants—and seeing their investment in robotics pay off faster than they ever imagined. Today, we’re building on this ...
