Development and investigation of an optical tilt sensor

Research on Knowledge-Based Virtual Assembly Planning

“…When using the top-down development approach to build an assembly diagram, you should define the process for your application and then implement them. Top-down development is used for creating new applications [12,13,14]. Bottom-up assembly is a traditional design method which follows the idea to first design each part well and then assemble them together.…”

Three-Dimensional Anisotropic Metamaterials as Triaxial Optical Inclinometers

“…MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) capacitive inclinometers overcome the environmental factors affecting electrolytic sensors 16 , but suffer from severe performance degradation induced by defects produced during the fabrication process 17 , electromagnetic interference, and fringe effects resulting 12 resulting in a limited range 18, 19 . Optical inclinometers 20–24 have been studied as an alternative to the MEMS based devices, due to their ease of on-chip integration 25 . However, these optical sensors are capable of reliably detecting changes in angular motion and position only in one or two orthogonal directions 26 for a maximum range of −45° to +45° 27, 28 .…”

Miniaturized Dual-Axis Electrolytic Tilt Sensor

“…Recently, many types of tilt sensor have been reported for many industrial fields such as mobile phones, game controllers, vehicles and construction. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] In particular, miniaturized tilt sensors have widened their application fields even into mobile electronic devices, which require a functionality of motion capture. The development of a tilt sensor with low power consumption and small size would further broaden the scope of these applications.…”
