Many commercial devices such as pressure sensors and acceleration sensors employ the piezoresistive effect in silicon.

The acceleration sensor measures the centrifugal force generated when the wheel rotates.

The acceleration sensor may be a simple switch rather than an analog transducer (accelerometer).

Other sensor technology such as acceleration sensors were used for identifying group activity patterns during office scenarios.

Every person receives a three-axis acceleration sensor, fastened to them with a belt.

Gyroscopes in consumer electronics are frequently combined with accelerometers (acceleration sensors) for more robust direction- and motion-sensing.

Rapid forward-backward motion, such as punching in a boxing game, is controlled by the acceleration sensors.

Among other applications, acceleration sensors are used to:

However, no vertical acceleration sensor is used.

These signals are combined with feedback signals fed by acceleration sensors and rate gyros.
