    摘要: A gyroscope includes a proof mass, and a first transduction/suspension structure coupled to the proof mass with a laterally flexible first coupling spring from a first coupling direction. A second transduction/suspension structure is coupled to the proof mass with a laterally flexible second coupling spring from a second coupling direction. A third transduction/suspension structure is coupled to the proof mass with a transversally flexible third coupling spring from a third coupling direction. A fourth transduction/suspension structure is coupled to the proof mass with a transversally flexible fourth coupling spring from a fourth coupling direction. Each transduction/suspension structure comprises elongated beams. Piezoelectric transducers are deposited on some elongated beams, and are configured to bend the corresponding elongated beams in the device plane and to measure the bending of the corresponding lateral elongated beams in the device plane.

    摘要: A piezoelectric device includes a connection section including a first coupling portion, a second coupling portion, and a bridging portion. The first coupling portion extends along a slit and is connected to one of a pair of beam sections. The second coupling portion extends along the slit and is connected to another of the pair of beam sections. The bridging portion is located between the slit and an opening and is connected to both of the first coupling portion and the second coupling portion. The beam sections are connected to each other in a circumferential direction of a base having an annular shape via the connecting section while each of the beam sections is interposed between the slits extending in intersecting directions.
