Neural-network compensation methods for capacitive micromachined accelerometers for use in telecare medicine.

Transducers represent a key component of medical instrumentation systems. In this paper, sensors that perform the task of measuring the physical quantity of acceleration are discussed. These sensors are of special significance since, by integrating their output signals, accelerometers can additional...
