The spacecraft is also understood to have lost two attitude sensors, or inertial measurement units.

Customers can access Hillcrest's design know-how to effectively use inertial and other sensors in a wide range of applications.
The second important aspect of Creative Cloud is more of what I consider to be an inertial factor.

Led by professor Darwin Caldwell, the international team created HyQ with a special Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU).
It is launched initially by parachute, but as it deploys, the Inertial Navigation System and Global Positioning System take over.
One way is to try and falsify the equivalence principle, to show that the two phenomena of gravitational and inertial mass are not really identical.
FORBES: Physicists Seek A Divorce: Prying Gravity ... From Inertia
The decision to bring the shuttle down came after one of the orbiter's three key navigation tools -- an inertial measurement unit -- stopped working.
Physical laws, he insisted, are the same in all inertial systems.
Freespace MotionEngine: Hillcrest's new product, the Freespace MotionEngine, is an embedded software platform that provides an integrated solution to enable MEMS inertial and magnetic sensors to work effectively and consistently in mass production.
According to the story, devices like inertial measurement units (IMUs) can be used with GPS. The IMUs track your acceleration and deceleration to figure out how far you have moved and at what speed.
Meanwhile, the OFES is preoccupied with magnetic fusion research since inertial fusion has always had an uneasy collusion and intertwined nature of being weapons related and living in dark corners of classification and secrecy.
Using an approach known as "inertial navigation", modified from military and industrial applications and Dr Donikian's own work with firefighters and first responders, Navisens' algorithms process raw data gleaned from low-cost motion sensors on smartphones.
The U.K. company AWE and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory have joined-forces with the National Ignition Facility in the U.S. to help provide energy using Inertial Confinement Fusion, in which a pellet of fuel is heated using powerful lasers.
Now the letters of the threads that run continuously beneath the live reporting look to me like the cogs of a virtual flywheel, one that spins ever faster as it tries to provide our inertial present with motive force.

Inertial mass doesn't depend on gravity.

An alternative is Inertial confinement fusion (ICF), in which fusion of nuclei is initiated by heating and compressing a fuel target, typically in the form of a pellet containing deuterium and tritium contained in a device called a hohlraum (hollow space or cavity) using an extremely powerful laser.
Like most prototypes, the the SWAN (System for Wearable Audio Navigation) is pretty bulky in its current form, with a laptop, GPS, inertial sensors, pedometer, RFID tags, RF sensors, a compass, and other gear all stuffed into a backpack, although they're apparently already working on a smaller version.
Freespace Sensor Modules are used by engineers to add inertial motion control to a product without having to learn about motion sensing or MEMS. These compact modules, the smallest of which is 9mm x 19mm x 2.5mm, are pre-calibrated for mass production, provide a well-documented API for interpreting motion, and provide data such as cursor position, linear acceleration, angular position, and angular velocity to enable the creation of novel applications.
