  2. Accelerometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerometer

    An accelerometer measures proper acceleration, which is the acceleration it experiences relative to freefall and is the acceleration felt by people and objects. [2] Put another way, at any point in spacetime the equivalence principle guarantees the existence of a local inertial frame, and an accelerometer measures the acceleration relative to that frame. [4]

  3. Piezoelectric accelerometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric_accelerometer

    A description of how a piezoelectric accelerometer works in theory. A piezoelectric accelerometer is an accelerometer that employs the piezoelectric effect of certain materials to measure dynamic changes in mechanical variables (e.g., acceleration, vibration, and mechanical shock).

  4. Piezoelectric sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric_sensor

    A piezoelectric sensor is a device that uses the piezoelectric effect to measure changes in pressure, acceleration, temperature, strain, or force by converting them to an electrical charge. The prefix piezo- is Greek for 'press' or 'squeeze'.

  5. Electronic stability control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_stability_control

    This kind of sensor often uses AMR elements. A yaw rate sensor that measures the rotation rate of the car. The data from the yaw sensor is compared with the data from the steering wheel angle sensor to determine regulating action. [47] A lateral acceleration sensor that measures the vehicle's lateral acceleration. This is often called an ...

  6. Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Electronics...

    Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric (IEPE) characterises a technical standard for piezoelectric sensors which contain built-in impedance conversion electronics. IEPE sensors are used to measure acceleration, force or pressure. Measurement microphones also apply the IEPE standard. Other proprietary names for the same principle are ICP, CCLD ...

  7. Three-Axis Acceleration Switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-Axis_Acceleration_Switch

    The three-axis acceleration switch is a micromachined microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor that detects whether an acceleration event has exceeded a predefined threshold. [1] It is a small, compact device, only 5mm by 5mm, and measures acceleration in the x, y, and z axes. [ 2 ]

  8. Principles of motion sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_Motion_Sensing

    Accelerometers measure linear acceleration and tilt angle. Single- and multi-axis accelerometers detect the combined magnitude and direction of linear, rotational and gravitational acceleration. They can be used to provide limited motion sensing functionality.
