摘要： An improved accelerometer of the type that includes a proof mass suspended from a support by one or more flexures, such that the proof mass can pivot with respect to the support about a hinge axis. The proof mass includes a paddle attached to the flexures, the paddle having first and second paddle surfaces. The coil is mounted on the first paddle surface, and the accelerometer includes a stator for mounting the support and for forming a magnetic circuit with the coil. The improvement comprises positioning the flexures such that a plane containing the hinge axis and the center of mass of the proof mass is parallel to one of the paddle surfaces, and closer to one paddle surface than to the other paddle surface. In a preferred arrangement, the plane containing the hinge axis and the center of mass is approximately coplanar with one of the paddle surfaces and with the flexures.

摘要： A stress isolation technique for an accelerometer of the type that has a reed that includes a paddle, a support, and flexures connecting the paddle to an area of the support. The support includes one or more mounting pads through which the reed is mounted. The area of the support adjacent to the flexures is divided into first and second portions, such that the flexures are connected to the first portion and such that the mounting pads are positioned solely on the second portion. The flexures are therefore isolated from stress coupled into the reed through the mounting pads.

摘要： A servo accelerometer uses a tunnel current sensor having a first sensing electrode coupled in fixed alignment with a frame and a second sensing electrode coupled to a proof mass. A position sensing circuit develops a sensing signal indicative of displacement of the proof mass. A feedback circuit provides an output signal and provides a feedback signal to electrostatic drive electrodes for applying an electrostatic repositioning force to the proof mass.

摘要： An acceleration overload protection mechanism for use with a sensor unit. The sensor unit is generally defined by a sensor element or elements (i.e., proof mass, flexures, etc.) that are movable in relation to a sensor frame. The overload protection mechanism includes at least one arresting plate. The arresting plate includes a plate frame and an arresting element that are elastically coupled to one another to permit relative movement therebetween. The plate frame of the overload protection mechanism is placed in fixed alignment with the sensor frame to place the arresting element in spaced relation with the sensor element of the sensor unit. The arresting element and sensor element may move relative to one another to allow the arresting element to move to a position proximate the sensor element to limit the range of motion of the sensor element when the sensor unit is subject to an acceleration overload. Projections extend between the arresting element and sensor unit to engage corresponding channels thereby protecting the sensor unit from damage due to cross-axis accelerations.

摘要： A sensor system is formed from a micro machined resonant structure with multiple resonant elements, a tracking resonator control electronics, and signal processing algorithms. The moving elements of the resonator are coated with chemically active materials that change mass when exposed to the target chemical resulting in a change in frequency or period of oscillation. The changes in frequency or period are processed by multi-sensor chemical detection algorithms to identify chemical types and concentrations. In essence, the resonator and drive electronics form a closed loop oscillator operating at the resonator's natural frequency. The resonators are formed from silicon using photolithographic processes. The resonator design includes in-plane resonant motion combined with dynamic balance to operate with a high Q even in the presence of atmospheric pressure.

摘要： A transducer having compensation for a deflection due to an applied stress. The transducer includes a support ring (32) having a proof mass (34) cantilevered on a pair of flexures (38) between the magnets (26,28) of a stator in which the transducer is mounted. Deflection of the support ring due to an imbalanced applied force is compensated by either moving the pads (30) used to mount the support ring, moving the centroid of capacitance (42) of the proof mass, or by modifying the support ring to provide a pair of moment arms (152), each approach insuring that an axis of deflection (102,130) of the support ring is coaligned with the centroid of capacitance, thereby minimizing a bias error in the transducer output.

摘要： A dual vibrating beam force transducer having an electrostatic drive system. The transducer comprises a body having first and second generally parallel beams, coupled together at their ends. First and second electrodes are positioned adjacent to but not in contact with the respective beams. A drive circuit causes an oscillating voltage to be applied to the electrodes. The beams are thus subjected to electrostatic forces that cause the beams to oscillate in a vibration plane containing both beams. The mechanical resonance of the beams controls the oscillation frequency, such that the frequency is a function of a force exerted along the beams. An embodiment is also described in which the drive means is coupled directly to one of the beams.

摘要： An accelerometer comprising a body (10, 16, 12), a proof mass (18, 30, 32), a mounting strucutre comprising flexures (20, 22) for mounting the proof mass to the body, and force sensing elements (34, 38). The flexures permit translational motion of the proof mass with respect to the body along a sensitive axis SA and rotation of the proof mass with respect to the body about a hinge axis HA that is perpendicular to the sensitive axis. Acceleration of the accelerometer along the sensitive axis results in translational motion of the proof mass along the sensitive axis. The force sensing elements reacts to such translational motion by producing a signal indicative of acceleration along the sensitive axis. In a preferred embodiment, the mounting structure comprises a pair of fused quartz flexures that are oppositely directed with respect to one another, and the force sensing elements comprise a pair of vibrating beam force transducers that are connected to the proof mass on opposite sides of the hinge axis from one another. The described assembly method for accelerometers comprises forming bridges between the proof mass and body, the bridges being removed after attachment of the force sensing elements.
