Recently, medium-sized earthquakes such as the Gyeongju 9.12 earthquake (September 12, 2016, M L = 5.8) and the Pohang earthquake (November 15, 2017, M L = 5.4) occurred in Korea, thereby increasing ...

Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometers detect mechanical acceleration through alterations in electrical capacitance (capacitive), resistance (piezoresistive), or charge (piezoelectric) as ...

A new study published in npj Digital Medicine suggests that walking data collected from hip-worn accelerometers is viable for assessing the risk of falls in older women. While this specific ...

The team from the Sensing, Interaction & Perception Lab at ETH Zürich, Switzerland have come up with TapType, an interesting text input method that relies purely on a pair of wrist-worn devices, that ...

For proper operation, drones usually use accelerometers to determine the direction of gravity. Scientists have now shown that drones can estimate the direction of gravity by combining visual detection ...

Objective Although 30 min/day of moderate-intensity physical activity is suggested for preventing type 2 diabetes (T2D), the current recommendations exclusively rely on self-reports and rarely ...

Objective Data on cardiovascular outcomes according to objectively measured physical activity (PA) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are scarce. This study explored the associations between PA ...

A quantum device that can determine its position in three dimensions is more accurate than non-quantum versions. Vehicles could use it to navigate even if GPS stopped working. One way to keep track of ...

While drones typically use accelerometers to estimate the direction of gravity, the way flying insects achieve this has been shrouded in mystery until now, as they have no specific sense of ...
