MEMS Sensors Help Detect Equine Lameness

July 17, 2012 By Randy Frank

Thanks to a University of Missouri professor of equine surgery in the College of Veterinary Medicine, a commercially available product can detect horse lameness. Inputs from MEMS accelerometers and a gyroscope are transmitted by a Bluetooth® wireless transceiver (within 150 yards) to a motion computing tablet PC. Accelerometers are mounted the horse’ head and pelvis and […]

Silicon MEMS Gyro Takes on Fiber Optic Gyros

December 23, 2011 By Randy Frank

Mechanical gyroscopes use a top-like mechanism spinning at high speed to detect angular position and provide high precision but at a high price. In contrast, fiber optic gyros (FOG) have minimal moving parts and offer high precision as well with a medium to high-end pricing. Sensonor Technologies’ STIM210 gyro module targets both designs with low […]

MEMS Gyroscope Provides Tactical Grade Performance

November 29, 2011 By Randy Frank

Tactical grade gyroscopes typically use fiber optic technology (a fiber optic gyro or FOG) to produce a higher performance level than an industrial grade product. With its ADIS16136 tactical grade iSensor® digital MEMS gyroscope, Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) provides 3.5°/hr typical bias stability and ±450°/Sec angular precision. This tactical level performance comes in a matchbox-sized […]
