With the ability to sense and measure rotational motion becoming a critical component for several automotive and military applications, revenues of MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) gyros will ...

Scientists at research institute CEA-Leti, in collaboration with researchers at Politecnico di Milano, have claimed the smallest MEMS gyroscope that is capable of providing navigation-grade ...

STMicroelectronics has expanded its motion-sensor portfolio with a broad range of thirteen new single- and two-axis gyroscopes. With more than a 50% shrink in volume over previous ST devices, reduced ...

The rotating-mass gyroscope, which lies at the heart of inertial measurement units (IMUs), has served very successfully from the 1930s to the 1970s, guiding astronauts, spacecraft, missiles, and more.

Solid-state gyroscopes aren’t just for video games and smartphones. Industrial-grade devices can handle tasks that demand superaccurate sensing. • Gyroscopes found in consumer devices lack the ...

The MEMS gyroscope has impacted so much of our everyday lives, in particular in consumer electronics, that engineers now design systems with this as an essential component. In the age of model-based ...

There are two kinds of gyroscopes in widespread use for navigation and control: optical ones, which are extremely sensitive but also expensive, and microelectromechanical (MEMS) ones, which are ...

EMCORE has a 40-year history in the development of its Quartz MEMS technology introducing the first tactical grade single-axis gyro and inertial measurement unit (IMU) utilizing quartz sensors with ...

Gyroscope designs used in inertial navigation systems (INS) fall into three basic groups: the classic spinning-rotor mechanical gyro (still in use in specialized situations due to its superior ...

Over the past few decades, engineers have leveraged Moore's Law to the fullest, resulting in powerful ultrathin laptops and feature-rich miniature wearables. Back in 1981, a 23-pound Osborne 1 ...
