Fiber optic gyroscopes (FOGs), previously the low-cost equivalent to other technologies such as ring laser gyroscopes (RLG), have some fresh competition. Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) ...

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 ...

MEMS is an acronym that stands for microelectromechanical systems – exceptionally small devices that incorporate mechanical, electrical, and frequently optical components on a single microchip. These ...

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 ...

A family of single- and two-axis MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) gyroscopes is well-suited for angular-motion detection in human-machine interface applications, personal and auto navigation ...

Microelectromechanical-systems (MEMS) technology uses micro fabrication techniques to combine microelectronics capabilities with the mechanical properties of microsensors. Increasingly, MEMS ...
