Freefall detection
Hard-disk-drives are included in many portable devices such as Laptops, PocketPCs, PDAs, MP3 Players and portable media centers. If these devices should be dropped, the HDD head can slide over the drive erasing the data. Using a MEMS sensor, the freefall can be measured and act as a safety feature that can signal the hard disk head to park away and protect all data. This is done using an acceleration sensor that can detect movements along all three dimensions
(X, Y and Z axis).

Alarms
Antitheft alarms based on MEMS accelerometers can detect movement in any desired access, protecting briefcases, laptops and other mobile hardware from unauthorized removal. Normal movements can easily be distinguished from suspect activity, minimizing false alarms.
