  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]

  4. Principles of motion sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_Motion_Sensing

    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. For example, a device with an accelerometer can detect rotation from vertical to horizontal state in a fixed location.

  5. The Intelligence of Dogs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Intelligence_of_Dogs

    Coren's book presents a ranked list of breed intelligence, based on a survey of 208 dog obedience judges across North America. [10] When it was first published there was much media attention and commentary in terms of both pros [11] and cons. [12] Over the years, Coren's ranking of breeds and methodology have come to be accepted as a valid description of the differences among dog breeds in ...

    For example, if an IMU installed in an aeroplane moving along a certain direction vector were to measure a plane's acceleration as 5 m/s 2 for 1 second, then after that 1 second the guidance computer would deduce that the plane must be traveling at 5 m/s and must be 2.5 m from its initial position (assuming v 0 =0 and known starting position ...

    The lower gyro has its spin axis oriented along the east–west grid axis and is sensitive to torques about the north–south and vertical axes. Therefore, the two gyros control all three axes. Platform gimbals are the assemblies which actually keep the platform accelerometers stable and enable the airplane to maneuver about the gyro-stabilized ...

  8. Motion controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_controller

    The PlayStation 3 launched with the Sixaxis controller included, which featured three-axis accelerometer motion tracking and a one axis gyroscope while not including the haptic feedback (vibration) seen in other modern consoles citing interference concerns. [6] Both features were included in the later DualShock 3 controller refresh.

    Figure 2. Schematic symbol and circuit incorporating the mechanical–electrical analogy for a piezoelectric sensor. Figure 2's detailed model includes the effects of the sensor's mechanical construction and other non-idealities. [12] The inductance L m is due to the seismic mass and inertia of the sensor itself.
