Caine and colleagues are currently pioneering new tracking devices for swimmers, which employ body-mounted gyroscopes and accelerometers in tandem with cameras and sensors around the pool to monitor body position, acceleration, speed and power.
Most drivers will not notice much performance advantage in the SL 550 from a Mercedes costing half the price, because most drivers never remotely approach the upper limits of acceleration, speed or traction that set it apart.
It will still have the improved acceleration and top speed of the bigger pack, so will be a better product than originally ordered, and can be upgraded to the range of the 60 kWh upon request by the original or a future owner.

Regarding performance, until a few years ago priorities were, in this order: top speed, acceleration and handling.
Beginning in the 2013 season, all 19 MLS clubs will use the data-tracking technology from adidas, providing coaches, trainers and players with real-time performance metrics including heart rate, speed, acceleration, distance, field position and, for the first time, power.
It sounds like a raw deal, but Tesla promises customers that the artificially limited Model S will reap unexpected benefits from the battery swap -- that is, improved acceleration and a higher top speed.
Simultaneously, its electric-only driving performance is substantially improved, enhancing acceleration, range, and top speed.

Hu and his team wanted to create the ultimate fish: Aiming to emulate the speed of tuna, acceleration of a pike, and the navigating skills of an eel.
Researchers also found that balls inflated at higher pressure hit the head with greater acceleration, even when kicked at the same speed.
And it seemed very fitting to talk about big data, insight acceleration and real time analytics in the very place where mass and speed of light got combined for posterity, more than a century ago.

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.

The vehicle has a single-speed transmission that makes it feel sprightly off the line, producing acceptable acceleration (reported at 9.5 seconds from zero to 60), good for around town, and a top speed limited to 85 miles per hour.
