Detecting disease in beef cattle using ear tag units

A smartphone switches its orientation from portrait to landscape depending on how it’s tilted. A car’s airbags inflate when it senses collision forces. By detecting earth’s vibrations, a computer can measure the magnitude and aftershocks of an earthquake. These technologies are made possible by accelerometers—small, electromechanical devices that measure acceleration. The devices are able to
