MEMSkiirendusmõõtur

MEMSkiirendusmõõtur is a term that appears to be a portmanteau derived from Estonian language elements. "MEMS" is a common acronym for Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems, a technology that integrates mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate through microfabrication techniques. "Kiirendusmõõtur" is the Estonian word for accelerometer, a device that measures acceleration, which is the rate of change of velocity. Therefore, MEMSkiirendusmõõtur can be understood to refer to a MEMS accelerometer.

MEMS accelerometers are widely used in a variety of applications due to their small size, low power consumption, and cost-effectiveness. They operate by detecting changes in capacitance or resistance caused by the displacement of a proof mass when subjected to acceleration. This displacement is then converted into an electrical signal. Common applications include smartphones for screen orientation detection, automotive systems for airbag deployment, vibration monitoring, navigation systems, and inertial measurement units (IMUs). The development and miniaturization of MEMS technology have been crucial in enabling the widespread adoption of these sensors in consumer electronics and other fields.
