    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for estimating the tension of a tension member (1), the method comprising the steps of exciting the tension member (1) such as to induce vibration of the tension member (1), sampling the vibration to obtain a first vibration signal (VS1), modifying the mass and/or the rotational inertia of the tension member (1) such as to provide a modified tension member (1a), exciting the modified tension member (1a) such as to induce vibration of the modified tension member (1a), sampling the vibration of the modified tension member to obtain a second vibration signal (VS2), and estimating the tension of the tension member based on a comparison of the first vibration signal (VS1) and the second vibration signal (VS2). Disclosed is also a system for estimating the tension of a tension member.

    Abstract: A crystal unit includes: a crystal blank; an excitation electrode formed on the crystal blank and excites a main vibration of the crystal blank; a housing that accommodates the crystal blank; and a sub-vibration electrode formed on the housing and excites a sub-vibration of the crystal blank.And a method for inspecting a crystal unit, the method includes: generating a sub-vibration in a crystal blank by applying an input signal to a sub-vibration electrode formed on a housing, which accommodates the crystal blank, via external electrodes which are electrically coupled to the sub-vibration electrode and formed on the outer surface of the housing; obtaining an output of the crystal unit via the external electrodes; obtaining frequency characteristics of impedance between the external electrodes based on the output; and comparing the obtained frequency characteristics with the reference frequency characteristics indicating the quality of the crystal unit.
