proximity, ambient light, pressure, compass, GPS, etc… into actionable information instantaneously. Currently the Wii and the iPhone are the most famous consumer electronic devices that make use of such motion sensors based on Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. “But the Wii and iPhone are just the beginning. Sensors will soon enable all kinds of functions, such as shaking your cell phone to pick up a call. No buttons, no fingers, just simple, natural gestures”. Kahn (pictured …

project hopes to develop an airborne acoustic sensor that can rapidly and objectively measure in-pipe condition, and identify blockages and damage. This technology will be developed to a near-market prototype and offer an up to 100-fold improvement in the productivity of sewer inspection. This work relies on novel MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) devices and advanced methods of signal analysis.
