Abstract

Technology advances have enabled modification of the size and shape of the electronic components to the microscale, with commensurate scaling down of their power requirements to milliwatts and microwatt range. Consequently, many complex electronic systems and devices such as wearable [...]

Abstract

The newly developed low-cost micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS)-based acceleration sensors exhibit sufficient accuracy and stability to monitor the shaking of structures caused by an earthquake. We have developed a practical shaking-monitoring system [...]
