    摘要: A capacitive sensor includes first and second variable capacitor electrode sets, respectively disposed upon a planar support surface and a proof mass that is compliantly displaceable along a first axis substantially parallel to the planar support surface. The first electrode set produces a cyclic variation in capacitance over a range of displacement of the proof mass along the first axis, and the second electrode set produces an absolute capacitance variation throughout the range of displacement along the first axis.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to systems and methods for determining coordinate locations of sensor nodes of a sensor network. In one aspect, a method determines three-dimensional coordinates of a reference location in a terrain over which the sensor network is deployed. Beginning with the reference location, the method tracks the movement of an optical sensor as the optical sensor moves to each sensor node in series and determines a three-dimensional coordinate of each sensor node relative to the reference location based on data collected by the optical sensor. The method also programs the three-dimensional coordinate into each sensor node.

    摘要: Gyroscopes using surface electrodes are provided. In this regard, a representative microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscope, among others, includes a top substrate and a bottom substrate. The top substrate includes an outermost structure that is open and enclosed and a first driving structure that is disposed within the outermost structure and includes first driving electrodes disposed on a bottom surface. The bottom substrate is disposed below the top substrate and includes second driving electrodes disposed on a top surface of the bottom substrate. The second driving electrodes are substantially aligned below the first driving electrodes such that a force can be applied to the first driving structure by an electrostatic force generated between the first and second driving electrodes. The first and second driving electrodes are also configured to provide a capacitance signal based on the movement of the first driving structure.
