Microelectromechanical Resonant Accelerometer Designed with a High Sensitivity
This paper describes the design and experimental evaluation of a silicon micro-machined resonant accelerometer (SMRA). This type of accelerometer works on the principle that a proof mass under acceleration applies force to two double-ended tuning fork (DETF) resonators, and the frequency output of two DETFs exhibits a differential shift. The dies of an SMRA are fabricated using silicon-on-insul...
متن کاملAn ultrasonic orthopaedic surgical device based on a cymbal transducer.
An ultrasonic orthopaedic surgical device is presented, where the ultrasonic actuation relies on a modification of the classical cymbal transducer. All current devices consist of a Langevin ultrasonic transducer with a tuned cutting blade attached, where resonance is required to provide sufficient vibrational amplitude to cut bone. However, this requirement restricts the geometry and offers lit...
متن کاملAnalysis of MEMS Accelerometer for Optimized Sensitivity
Sensitivity is an important element of a sensing process, and it is part of the open-loop gain of the sensor. This makes it a strong inverse relationship between sensitivity and bandwidth for any class of sensors. The geometrical of the accelerometer, mass width, beam (length and width) of the device and its sensitivity are analyzed theoretically and also using finite element analysis software,...
متن کاملHigh-resolution micromachined interferometric accelerometer
We demonstrate a promising type of microfabricated accelerometer that is based on the optical interferometer. The interferometer consists of surface-micromachined interdigital fingers that are alternately attached to a proof mass and support substrate. Illuminating the fingers with coherent light generates a series of diffracted optical beams. Subangstrom displacements between the proof mass an...
متن کاملMotivating the Marching Cymbal Line
it is the instructor’s responsibility to instill a positive attitude and set high expectations for all members, while helping students grow and become better musicians. If difficulty is the modern measuring stick for superiority, then one can certainly argue that multi-tenors are the most challenging instrument to play, while others will say the bass drum requires the most demanding skill. Alth...
