    An accelerometer sensor is a sensor that can measure acceleration. It is usually composed of masses, dampers, elastic components, sensitive components, and adaptive circuits. In the process of acceleration, the sensor obtains the acceleration value by using Newton's second law, measuring the inertial force on the mass block. According to the different sensitive components of the sensor, common accelerometer sensors include capacitive, inductive, strain gauge, piezoresistive, piezoelectric and so on.

    Hello everyone, I am Rose. Welcome to the new post today. Today I will introduce smart sensors to you. Traditional sensors are no longer able to perform certain data processing tasks, including self-inspection, self-calibration, and self-compensation, due to the automation and intelligence of measurement and control systems. Intelligent sensors and multipurpose sensors have been developed and are already being used. This article thoroughly describes smart sensors in terms of their structural features, application domains, market development, and technological advancements.
