Ultra-sensitive piezoresistive accelerometer that has advantages over traditional piezoresistive accelerometers in both the sensitivity and minimum detectable acceleration.
Wayne State University researchers have developed an ultra-sensitive piezoresistive accelerometer that has advantages over traditional piezoresistive accelerometers in both the sensitivity and minimum detectable acceleration. Traditional piezoresistive accelerometers face challenges in applications where high bandwidth and high resolution are required simultaneously such as respiratory sound monitoring.
Commercial Applications
• General purpose accelerometers for automotive, consumer, industrial, military and biomedical applications
Competitive Advantages
• Application sensitivity
• Minimum detectable acceleration
