Abstract:
This paper presents an innovative integrated sensor that combines GNSS and a low-cost accelerometer for bridge health monitoring. GNSS and accelerometers are both significant and effective sensors for structural monitoring, but they each have limitations. The sampling rate of GNSS data is relatively low, making it challenging to capture high-frequency vibrations, while accelerometers struggle with low-frequency signals and are susceptible to environmental changes. Additionally, GNSS receivers and accelerometers are often installed separately, leading to challenges in data fusion processing due

Abstract:
In this paper, a fluidic capacitive inclination sensor is presented and compared to three types of silicon-based microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometers. MEMS accelerometers are commonly used for tilt measurement. They can only be manufactured by large companies with clean-room technology due to the high requirements during assembly. In contrast, the fluidic sensor can be produced by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well, since only surface mount technologies (SMT) are required. Three different variants of the fluidic sensor were investigated. Two variants using stacke

This paper proposes a novel data fusion technique for a wearable multi-sensory patch that integrates an accelerometer and a flexible resistive pressure sensor to accurately capture breathing patterns. It utilizes an accelerometer to detect breathing-related diaphragmatic motion and other body movements, and a flex sensor for muscle stretch detection. The proposed sensor data fusion technique combines inertial and pressure sensors to eliminate nonbreathing body motion-related artifacts, ensuring that the filtered signal exclusively conveys information pertaining to breathing.

Abstract:
Directional sound detection using vector sensors rather than large hydrophone arrays is highly advantageous for target detection in SONAR. However, developing highly sensitive and compact vector sensors for use in a system whose size is limited has been a challenging issue. In this paper, we describe a miniaturized acoustic vector sensor with piezoelectric single crystal accelerometers for the application in towed line arrays. A mass-loaded cantilever beam accelerometer with a [011] poled PIN-PMN-PT single crystal shows a better signal-to-noise ratio compared to accelerometers with other piezo

Abstract:
A ubiquitous sensor in embedded systems is the accelerometer, as it enables a range of applications. However, accelerometers experience nonlinearities in their outputs caused by error terms and axes misalignment. These errors are a major concern because, in applications such as navigations systems, they accumulate over time, degrading the position accuracy. Through a calibration procedure, the errors can be modeled and compensated. Many methods have been proposed; however, they require sophisticated equipment available only in laboratories, which makes them complex and expensive. In this artic

Abstract:
Automated lying-posture tracking is important in preventing bed-related disorders, such as pressure injuries, sleep apnea, and lower-back pain. Prior research studied in-bed lying posture tracking using sensors of different modalities (e.g., accelerometer and pressure sensors). However, there remain significant gaps in research regarding how to design efficient in-bed lying posture tracking systems. These gaps can be articulated through several research questions, as follows. First, can we design a single-sensor, pervasive, and inexpensive system that can accurately detect lying postures? Seco

Physical activity patterns can reveal information about one’s health status. Built-in sensors in a smartphone, in comparison to a patient’s self-report, can collect activity recognition data more objectively, unobtrusively, and continuously. A variety of data analysis approaches have been proposed in the literature. In this study, we applied the movelet method to classify the activities performed using smartphone accelerometer and gyroscope data, which measure a phone’s acceleration and angular velocity, respectively.

In human motion science, accelerometers are used as linear distance sensors by attaching them to moving body parts, with their measurement axes its measurement axis aligned in the direction of motion.

Abstract:
In many applications, such as space navigation, metrology, testing, and geodesy, it is necessary to measure accelerations with frequencies ranging from fractions of a hertz to several kilohertz. For this purpose, optomechanical sensors are used. The natural frequency of such sensors should be approximately ten times greater than the frequency of the measured acceleration. In the case of triaxial acceleration measurements, a planar design with two sensors that measure accelerations in two perpendicular in-plane directions and a third sensor that measures out-of-plane acceleration is effective.

An analog signal representing the breathing rate is obtained from the sensor's signal, breath by breath, without any averaging or filtering. The kinetic activity sensor is based on a tiny accelerometer whose signal is averaged and filtered, so that both sensors

We have developed a low-cost hardware platform based on AVR MCU, accelerometer sensor and gyroscope sensor, for which the critical circuits, such as sensors and motor driver, are introduced. The control strategy operates by two steps: a) securing the real-time vehicle posture by integrating the data from accelerometer and gyroscope sensors; b) using a closed-loop PID controller to keep the vehicle balanced.
