(1) A small sensor, the accelerometer , placed nearby then detects the sound waves and analyses their acoustic signature.(2) They were instructed to wear the accelerometer during all waking hours, to carry out their usual activities, and not to remove the device except for bathing and sleep.(3) After vibration data is measured using the accelerometer and converted into digital format, they are then stored in a computer.(4) The accelerometer is used to measure shocks and vibration caused by road roughness while the GPS unit records the truck position.(5) To detect hard braking or cornering, the system uses an accelerometer that detects high g-forces on the vehicle.(6) The speed and force pattern of the club head was measured by a miniature accelerometer attached to the club head.(7) In a passenger car, a linear accelerometer located near the front axle measures higher lateral acceleration than in the center or rear side.(8) An accelerometer was placed on one arm to measure gross body movements.(9) Other devices include oxygen sensors to check exhaust gases, accelerometers to detect any sudden sharp braking, and a range of pressure and temperature monitors.(10) The IMU consists of two main sensor types: gyroscopes or u2018gyrosu2019 to measure angular rates and accelerometers to measure velocity rates.(11) In addition, NASA's second redesigned tank has been outfitted with temperature sensors and accelerometers , used to measure vibration.(12) A monitoring system, including tension sensors, accelerometers , and deformation gauges, will be put in place for purposes of bridge maintenance.(13) More recently, physical activity has been objectively measured through the deployment of accelerometers that are calibrated to monitor activity levels by the minute.(14) The physical activity tests were validated using electronic accelerometers to measure levels of activity minute by minute.(15) For more rigorous demonstration of the forces involved, Dial also used two accelerometers to measure the acceleration in the forward and vertical directions.(16) For example, sensors called accelerometers - which are used to cue airbags to deploy - can detect changes in speed and direction.
