Abstract :
As the technology of the MEMS based accelerometer devices matures the cost of production of these devices are brought down significantly resulting in opening up of various unforeseen markets. This phenomenal reduction in cost of production has brought accelerometers within the reach of systems which otherwise couldn´t have afforded this sensing technology. This paper describes the use of micro-machined accelerometers in today´s world.
