New trackers bring prairie dogs’ little-known underground life to light
To say tracking prairie dogs is difficult would be an understatement. The animals spend most of their time in burrows. Since conventional GPS collars don’t function underground, the movements and inte...

Workers in radiation-prone environments have badges that measure accumulated radiation.
We have tiny accelerometers in our rsfcking cell phones! Why not adapt that tech to measure and warn football players of accumulated head trauma events?

To be fair that gives access to accelerometers which would be a reliable way to clearly delineate between walking and riding, and "find my parking spot" isn't an illegitimate use.
No way in hell I'm giving that permission though + because we don't have guardrails to restrict to legitimate use.

The head of Roscosmos named the most likely cause of the crash of "Luna-25": "Accelerometers didn't turn on."
Глава Роскосмоса назвал наиболее вероятную причину крушения «Луны-25»: «Акселерометры не включились»
Посадочная автоматическая межпланетная станция «Луна-25» могла разбиться из-за того, что акселерометр не передал необходимую для выключения двигателя информацию

is pretty great, which is that they put data loggers with accelerometers on the sleds, so they could check them after the race if there were questions (no idea how that worked out). I love the idea of teams being able to control their own schedules like that but the technology is iffy.

Next steps
- redo the plunge test and compare
- fix the software bugs that caused timestamp digitization
- learn more about magnetic fields underwater
- learn more about accelerometers and magnetic field drift. Could be temp, earth's variability or they are just drifty sensors.

In the past they were welded in situ at the end stations, where it is less convenient. We had accelerometers on it during the trip hooked to the laptop seen in the picture.

For whatever reason the Dreamcast sensor one felt about as sensitive as one could reasonably expect, I've consistently heard that the versions that rely on accelerometers and gyros are just obnoxious
This is the major reason I DIDN'T play subsequent versions, mind

I would go on step in the other direction and say that if they don't have their leads exposed on the sides, they're more annoying to solder (since you can't rework them with q regular soldering iron nor can you verify the solder connection visually) this is often the case with accelerometers/IMU's

Are all METs the same? Interesting symposium with @profHoltermann @M_Stamatakis
Glad to see absolute vs relative 'intensity' mentioned early... Thought - with the widespread adoption of HR monitors, why are we still wasting time with accelerometers? Former better for relative.

Les "souris des glaciers", ces boules de mousse se déplaçant lentement en troupeau sans que le vent ni la pente des glaciers n'y soit pour quelque chose
![Glacier mice are notable for their movement across the ice, which appears to be non-random, taking the form of herd-like behavior. This movement is as yet unexplained,[1] and does not appear to be solely the product of wind or the direction of a slope. On average, they move about 2.5 cm (0.98 in) per day.[7] The use of accelerometers has demonstrated that glacier mice do in fact rotate and roll, rather than simply sliding across the ice, over time exposing all of their surfaces](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:h4tiqxlaess3yxdmrwhqqdwh/bafkreid3zwoagbg4sfpvkwep23lh2avq6uxbhpmuwen4rjpspgls24rvaq@jpeg)

trying to detect device orientation with accelerometers was always a bad idea. should have used grip sensors & rotated the device based on how it's being held. would have the upside of also working in microgravity

Kyle Elliott's talk at #BES2023 has been one of my favourites so far. He covered some considerations in estimating energy expenditure from accelerometers. Body mass may be more important than species-specific considerations for seabirds (I've looked at similar things in canids!)
