The iPhone’s onboard accelerometer and gyroscope aren’t unique in modern hardware. Besides a mobile phone, where else do you encounter accelerometers and gyroscopes in your everyday lives? You don’t need to necessarily know how the devices work, but you do need to know what sort of information they provide – so think about what devices around you might use those types of data.

Accelerometer and Gyroscope are some of the major sensor equipment in mobile phones, these sensors provide a ton of data to the applications that are running on that mobile phone and help applications work better for improving user experience but beside mobile phone these sensors are being used in many other real life objects.
Accelerometer: It is a sensor device developed to measure non gravitational acceleration, when the device that contains accelerometer sensor exhibits motion from a state of rest accelerometer responds to the vibrations that occur during the motion it uses microscopic crystal that vibrate during motion and produce voltage to create a record or reading on acceleration.
Gyroscope: A gyroscope is a sensor device that uses Earth's gravity to determine the orientation, tilt or inclination. It contains special equipment that record the orientation of the device containing the sensor.
Everyday applications of Accelerometer:
1. Airbags: Accelerometers are used in vehicles in which these sensors provide data about any sudden deceleration that inflates air bags in case of accidents.
2.Gaming consoles: Some of the gaming consoles such as Playstation, Nintendi Wii have remote controllers that use accelerometers to detect the change in motion of the device the provide data to the console the way the remote moved which in turn represents the controls in game.
3.Medical Equipment: Accelerometers are also used in medical devices where these sensors provide data such the contraction, compression of muscles and chest compressions.
4.Drones: Drones have become one of the useful electronic devices for many content creators these drones use accelerometers data to stabilize flight and avoid any accidental rapid fall.
Everyday applications of Gyroscope:
1. Compass: Gyroscopes are mainly used in compasses. It notices the rotation of Earth about its axis and points to north.
2.Submarine: In submarines this sensor provides the navigational data and also the elevation data which guides the submarines the direction in which it is moving and it also used for stabilizing the submarine.
3. Virtual Reality: Virtual Reality is the future of many existing entertainment related applications, gyroscopes are one of the main sensors in virtual reality devices a better example of this scenario is seen in gaming consoles that use virtual reality like HTC VIVE, Oculus Rift etc. these use a combination of gyroscopes and other sensors produce data that is processed by the console to reflect the control in game.
4.Robotics: In moving robots gyroscopes provide information about stability and helps the robot to stand upright and prevents it from stumbling or loosing balance.

Part I— Just Bad Luck? Brrrring! Brrrring! Jane checked the caller ID on her phone. “Sam! Great!” she thought. It was always nice to get a call from her older brother. But a little twinge of worry tugged at her. It was just a couple of weeks ago that he had mentioned making an appointment with his doctor about some abdominal pain he had been having. “Hi Sam! It’s great to hear from you,” Jane answered. “Hi Jane. Well I...

The world’s 3 billion-plus smartphones emit the kind of data that health authorities covet during outbreaks. They show where individuals are, where they’ve been and who they might have talked to or even touched — potentially offering maps to find infected people and clues to stopping new ones. But gaining access to this data, even amid a global pandemic, is made complex by the legal and ethical issues surrounding government access to information that can reveal intimate details about citizens’...
Team Conflict In a rare moment alone in her office, Jennifer Ames reflected on the past 10 years of her career at BabyProduct Corporation (BPC). She could easily chart her successes: She had taken on challenges and produced results where her colleagues had failed; she had increased the diversity of the work force in every unit she had led; she had successfully launched new products and developed several new markets. In fact, just a few months before, Ames had been...
Read the article below and in your own words, (1-2 sentences) what is the "true direction" or right way to interpret nature, according to Bacon? True Directions Concerning the Interpretation of Nature (1620) Francis Bacon Those who have taken it on themselves to lay down the law of nature as something that has already been discovered and understood, whether they have spoken in simple confidence or in a spirit of professional posturing, have done great harm to philosophy and the...
Please read the article and answer about questions. You and the Law Business and law are inseparable. For B-Money, the two predictably merged when he was negotiat- ing a deal for his tracks. At other times, the merger is unpredictable, like when your business faces an unexpected auto accident, product recall, or government regulation change. In either type of situation, when business owners know the law, they can better protect themselves and sometimes even avoid the problems completely. This chapter...
