Advanced Triaxial Accelerometer for Race Car Performance Enhancement
نویسنده
چکیده
Motorsports recognizes the need for a triaxial accelerometer that can provide accurate vibration results in pre-race trials, and real-time measurements during the course of an actual race. Precise data needs to be gathered that allows the racing engineer to determine design modifications and suspension adjustments when fractions of a second can determine the winner. Measurement Specialties, Inc. has developed the Model 4203 accelerometer that satisfies these requirements. The accelerometer features a silicon sensor element utilizing silicon MEMS technology (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) packaged in a lightweight metal housing. DC capability allows the capture of long duration transients in order to measure whole body motion. On-board signal conditioning outputs high level, low impedance signals. Each of the full scale g-ranges of the three orthogonal axes can be independently selected for optimum measurement resolution.

Method to Estimate the Position and Orientation of a Triaxial Accelerometer Mounted to an Industrial Manipulator
A novel method to find the orientation and position of a triaxial accelerometer mounted on a six degrees-of-freedom industrial robot is proposed and evaluated on experimental data. The method consists of two consecutive steps, where the first is to estimate the orientation of the accelerometer from static experiments. In the second step the accelerometer position relative to the robot base is i...

BACKGROUND Different types of devices are available and the choice about which to use depends on various factors: cost, physical characteristics, performance, and the validity and intra- and interinstrument reliability. Given the large number of studies that have used uniaxial or triaxial devices, it is of interest to know whether the different devices give similar information about PA levels a...

متن کاملThe validity of the non-exercise activity thermogenesis questionnaire evaluated by objectively measured daily physical activity by the triaxial accelerometer
BACKGROUND Physical inactivity is a major cardiovascular risk factor. Recently, we showed that non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) assessed by the self-reported questionnaire is favorably associated with metabolic risks in patients with type 2 diabetes. The purpose of the present study was to examine the validity of the questionnaire by comparing with objectively measured daily physical ...
