Motion Sensors For Mice
By Claus Schafhalter | March 29, 2010
Two German inventors introduced a new kind of motion sensor to the market. These micro-vibration sensors detect motions or vibrations and can be integrated into many battery powered devices like wireless PC mice, remote controls, or lights for bicycles. The sensor interrupts the connection to the batteries as soon as the device is not in motion thus using energy only when the device is in use.
Functionally a small conducting ball within a larger sphere enables to switch on and off current depending on vibration of the device the micro sensor is mounted on.
While this little device offered by Sensolute might not be the all encompassing solution to our energy problems, every small step can help. Especially when intelligent technology couples energy savings with convenience.
