With the development of MEMS sensors, the magnetometer has increasingly become a part of various wearable devices. The magnetometer measures the intensity of the magnetic field in all three axes, resulting in a 3D vector-direction and power. Calibration must be done before using a magnetometer, especially in wearable electronics, due to the low quality of the sensor and high proximity to other electromagnetic emission sources.

Article Synopsis
  • The review examines various driving mechanisms and sensors for spherical robots, highlighting their holonomic nature and protective shells that safeguard internal components.
  • It identifies the limitations of typical sensors in these robots while proposing the addition of advanced sensors like cameras and LiDARs to enhance environmental sensing abilities.
  • The paper suggests that by integrating these enhanced sensors, spherical robots can be effectively designed for specialized underground exploration tasks, such as responding to accidents in mines or road tunnels.

Catecholamines participate in the food intake regulation, however, there are no literature data available, dealing with the activity of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) neurons in response to stimulation or inhibition of GHS-R (growth hormone secretagogue receptor) in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC). The present study was focused to reveal whether [Dpr(N-octanoyl) 3ghrelin], a stable GHS-R agonist, itself in doses of 5 or 10 mg/kg (s.c.
