摘要： Consistent with an example embodiment, devices comprise sensor arrangements with field detectors for detecting components of magnetic fields in planes of the field detectors. The sensor arrangements further include movable objects for, in response to tilting movements, changing at least parts of the components of the magnetic fields in the planes of the field detectors so that the sensor arrangements are made less sensitive to in-plane stray fields by providing the field detectors with saturated field-dependent elements. The movable object may comprise a movable field generator for generating the magnetic field, or the movable object and the field generator may be different objects. The magnetic field is such that the field-dependent element is saturated. The field generator is smaller than the field detector, and the movable object is larger than the field detector, to reduce alignment problems. The movable object has a pivoting point close to the field detector.

摘要： A piezoresistive MEMS oscillator comprises a resonator body, first and second drive electrodes located adjacent the resonator body for providing an actuation signal; and at least a first sense electrode connected to a respective anchor point. The voltages at the electrodes are controlled and/or processed such that the feedthrough AC current from one drive electrode to the sense electrode is at least partially offset by the feedthrough AC current from the other drive electrode to the sense electrode.

摘要： A resonator comprises a resonator mass (34), a first connector (30) on a first side of the mass connected between the resonator mass and a first fixed mounting and a second connector (32) on a second, opposite, side of the mass connected between the resonator mass and a second fixed mounting. Drive means drives the mass (34) into a resonant mode in which it oscillates in a sideways direction, thereby compressing one of the first and second connectors while extending the other of the first and second connectors.

摘要： Detection circuits (1) for detecting movements of movable objects (2) such as joysticks are provided with detectors (100,200) for detecting movements of the movable objects (2), comprising detection units (101-136,201-204) for detecting light spots (3) from sources (4), the light spots (3) depending on said movements, and with reference detectors (300) for compensating for aging/process variations, comprising reference detection units (301-304) for calibrating the detection units (101-136,201-204). Such detection circuits (1) suffer from aging/process variations to a relatively small extent. First detectors (100) for detecting x or y movements are partly located within the light spot (3) dependently on positions of the joysticks and the reference detectors (300) are then entirely located within the light spot (3) independently from positions of the joysticks. Second detectors (200) for detecting z movements are entirely located within the light spot (3) independently from positions of the joysticks and the reference detectors (300) are then entirely located outside the light spot (3) independently from positions of the joysticks.
