There are many tools available for navigation. IMUs, consisting of accelerometers and gyroscopes, are important, but less-expensive MEMS versions are assisted by global navigation satellite-system ...

It is related to logging-while-drilling (LWD). Ruggedized instruments—magnetometers, gyroscopes, and accelerometers that can withstand temperatures of 400° F, pressures of 25,000 psi, and 500 G for ...

A simple function like rotating the screen of your phone or tablet requires a MEMS. Apart from accelerometers and gyroscopes, smartphones contain micro-mirrors, image sensors, auto-focus actuators, ...
