Hitachi Metals Develops Worlds Smallest Digital Output Triaxial Accelerating Sensor.Tokyo, Japan, Aug 26, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - Hitachi Metals announced on August 23 that it has produced the smallest digital output triaxial tri·ax·i·al adj. Having three axes. tri·ax  i·al i·ty n. accelerating sensor A device that measures or detects a real-world condition, such as motion, heat or light and converts the condition into an analog or digital representation. An optical sensor detects the intensity or brightness of light, or the intensity of red, green and blue for color systems. of its kind in the world.
The H30CD sensor measures 2.9 x 2.9 x 0.92 mm, compared with the conventional 3.4 x 3.7 x 0.92mm triaxial accelerating sensor, with a reduced electrical voltage of 3V at 0.35mA. Hitachi has incorporated its own micro-electromechanical system, (MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s. ) technology enabling the sensor to automatically adjust to the variation in the temperature. The company believe the sensor will be used for various applications including mobile phones, AV, medical, and sports equipments, and ATM. Copyright [c] 2006 Japan Corporate News Network.
