Title: Double resonator cantilever accelerometer

Full Record
Other Related Research

Abstract

A digital quartz accelerometer includes a pair of spaced double-ended tuning forks fastened at one end to a base and at the other end through a spacer mass. Transverse movement of the resonator members stresses one and compresses the other, providing a differential frequency output which is indicative of acceleration.

Microelectromechanical accelerometer with resonance-cancelling control circuit including an idle state

Patent Chu, Dahlon D [Albuquerque, NM]; Thelen, Jr., Donald C. (Bozeman, MT); Campbell, David V [Albuquerque, NM]

A digital feedback control circuit is disclosed for use in an accelerometer (e.g. a microelectromechanical accelerometer). The digital feedback control circuit, which periodically re-centers a proof mass in response to a sensed acceleration, is based on a sigma-delta (.SIGMA..DELTA.) configuration that includes a notch filter (e.g. a digital switched-capacitor filter) for rejecting signals due to mechanical resonances of the proof mass and further includes a comparator (e.g. a three-level comparator). The comparator generates one of three possible feedback states, with two of the feedback states acting to re-center the proof mass when that is needed, and with a third feedbackmore » « less

Single-resonator double-negative metamaterial

Patent Warne, Larry K.; Basilio, Lorena I.; Langston, William L.; ...

Resonances can be tuned in dielectric resonators in order to construct single-resonator, negative-index metamaterials. For example, high-contrast inclusions in the form of metallic dipoles can be used to shift the first electric resonance down (in frequency) to the first magnetic resonance, or alternatively, air splits can be used to shift the first magnetic resonance up (in frequency) near the first electric resonance. Degenerate dielectric designs become especially useful in infrared- or visible-frequency applications where the resonator sizes associated with the lack of high-permittivity materials can become of sufficient size to enable propagation of higher-order lattice modes in the resulting medium.

Launch accelerometer for model rocket

Patent Boyson, Jonathan M.

Systems and methods of detecting launch of a model rocket are described herein. A mechanically implemented launch accelerometer may be disposed on a model rocket. The launch accelerometer may detect acceleration of the rocket by a mass of the launch accelerometer moving relative to the rocket and against a spring force based on the rocket acceleration. The mass may comprise a first electrical contact that may contact a second electrical contact when the mass is accelerated beyond a threshold, which is indicative of launch of the rocket. The contact between the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact maymore » « less

MEMS vibrating-beam accelerometer with piezoelectric drive

Patent Strehlow, John; MacGugan, Doug

A high-temperature drive component for a double-ended tuning fork (DETF). The drive component attaches to a surface of at least one of the tines. The drive component includes at least one piezoelectric trace sandwiched at least partially between two electrical traces. At least one of the tines includes a doped silicon base with drive component located thereon. One of the electrical traces is electrically connected to the doped silicon base and the other is electrically isolated from the doped silicon base.
