摘要:
A method for evaluating the acceleration and/or compensating the acceleration offset in a combined accelerometer and gyroscope, wherein the evaluation or compensation is based on a quadrature signal delivered by the accelerometer.
摘要:
This switching device comprises at least one cell made up of a moving structure consisting in a flexible cantilever beam (14) and an integral screen (16) attached to said beam, being able to move between two end positions (A, B) and of actuating electrodes (20) for subjecting said structure to forces of attraction to control its movements. The electrodes (20) are located on each side of the beam (14) in such a way as to follow its exact shape when it is in one of its two end positions. A regular movement of the moving structure and a reliable operating of the switching device are thus obtained. This invention may be used in optical switching applications.

摘要:
There is described a switching device comprising a mobile element (2) that is able to at least move back and forth along a defined trajectory between a zero position (O) and at least one predetermined switching position (A, B), an elastic member (3, 30, 32) connecting the mobile element to a base (4) and at least one stationary actuating electrode (5, 6) located in the vicinity of the predetermined switching position for producing electrostatic forces to cause the mobile element to move to and/or away from the predetermined switching position. The stationary actuating electrode is disposed to act on at least one edge (20a) of the mobile element which is substantially parallel to the mobile element's trajectory. The geometry of the mobile element, elastic member and actuating electrode is such that the mobile element cannot come into contact with the actuating electrode and that the switching position is defined by an equilibrium point (E) between lateral electrostatic forces produced on the mobile element by the stationary actuating electrode and mechanical springs forces produced by the elastic member.
