摘要:
Micromachined vibratory gyroscope having two or more coplanar movable masses suspended over a planar substrate. Two perpendicular axes (x and y) are defined within the substrate plane, while a third, the z-axis or input axis, is defined to be perpendicular to the substrate plane. The movements of the two masses along the x-axis are coupled through an electrostatic coupling means so that the natural resonant frequency of the in-phase mode and that of the anti-phase mode are separated from each other for the resonances along the x-axis. When the two masses are driven to vibrate along the x-axis in the anti-phase mode and the device experiences rotation about the z-axis, Coriolis forces act differentially on the masses in the Ydirection, causing the two masses to dither in an anti-phase motion along the y-axis. The anti-phase dithering along the y-axis can be sensed directly by a rate sensor to measure the rate of rotation about the z-axis. Alternatively, the anti-phase dithering of the first and second bodies along the y-axis can be transferred to other movable bodies (i.e., rate-sensing masses) whose movement is then sensed to measure the rate of rotation about the z-axis. The sensing bodies are preferably suspended in such manner that, in the absence of Coriolis forces, the x-axis motion of the vibrating masses does not affect the sensing bodies. That inhibits motion of the sensing bodies in response to linear acceleration within the plane of the substrate, but permits those bodies to respond readily to the Corollas-induced motion about an axis perpendicular to the substrate plane.

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for regulating or controlling the driving stability of a vehicle and for avoiding collisions with an object which is located in the traffic lane. The invention further relates to a driving stability regulator. The method according to the invention for regulating or controlling the driving stability of a vehicle and for avoiding collisions with an object that is located in the traffic lane comprises the following steps: determining based on environmental signals whether a critical situation in terms of driving dynamics, in particular an imminent collision, exists, calculating an evasive path if a critical situation in terms of driving dynamics exists, determining based on several input variables the pressures for individual brakes of the vehicle, and activating preparatory measures of the driving dynamics regulator, in particular dynamic switching of control parameters if the critical situation in terms of driving dynamics exists.
