The uncertainty principle states that we cannot know the state of a system with arbitrary precision. Now the uncertainty relation between angular momentum and position has been measured in an ...

I love 3D Touch, but FingerAngle, by Carnegie Mellon spin-off Qeexo, may have just upped the ante. The researchers behind FingerAngle, a new algorithm that allows smartphones to estimate the angular ...

In every Olympic event, officials try to keep things is as fair as possible. In track, this means making sure runners cover the same distance. Short distances make this easy---simply paint a ...

Stepper motors divide a full rotation into hundreds of discrete steps, which makes them ideal to precisely control movements, be it in cars, robots, 3D printers or CNC machines. Most stepper motors ...

Ieper, Belgium: Melexis enters the market for accurate GPS (Global Position System) position sensing with its angular rate sensor (gyroscope). The MLX90609-N2 will enhance the accuracy of GPS ...

The device has analog, PWM, and CAN bus outputs. It features 12-bit resolution over 360° of rotation, with absolute position output available up to ±1,440°, and a minimum life cycle of 25 million ...
