Description : Explain how MEMS accelerometer is used as airbag sensor for car system.

Last Answer : MEMS Accelerometer is used as airbag sensor: Mechanical ignition airbags fit inside the steering wheel pad. When a collision occurs, the inertial sensor moves, setting off a ... the airbag with wiring. This is especially effective when fitting both driver- and passenger-side airbags.

Description : What is ‘MEMS’? Explain with neat block diagram.

Last Answer : Definition of MEMS: MEMs are Mechatronics systems that consist of mechanical elements and electronic circuits. A micro electromechanical system is an integration of mechanical elements, sensors, ... actuators and signal transduction unit, closed loop control system can be easily developed.

Description : List advantages and disadvantages of MEMS.

Last Answer : Advantages : 1. Batch fabrication and hence reduced cost. 2. Reduced size and reduced power ( due to pin size and reduced package volume) 3. High precision and resolution. 4. Reduced ... cannot be loaded with large forces because brittle materials can be fractured easily under high stress.
