    摘要: A nonlinear frequency modulated gyroscope includes a degenerate-mode mechanical resonator, positive feedback circuits, a temperature control component, and a gyroscope controller. The degenerate-mode mechanical resonator with two or more modes are coupled via a Coriolis effect. The positive feedback circuits for each mode of the degenerate-mode mechanical resonator include an analog or digital automatic gain control that maintains oscillations of each mode at a constant amplitude. The temperature control component includes a sensor and heating elements. The gyroscope controller is an application-specific integrated circuit, a field programmable gate array, or microcontroller. The degenerate-mode mechanical resonator, the positive feedback circuits, and the temperature control component are subsystems of the nonlinear frequency modulated gyroscope.

    摘要: Provided are embodiments including a system for performing health monitoring. The system includes a measurement device configured to measure pressure of an environment, a heating element of the heater section coupled to the measurement device, a first sensing element operably coupled to a first region of the measurement device, and a second sensing element operably coupled to a second region of the measurement device. The system also includes a programmable logic that is configured to generate a status signal or flag based at least in part on conditions of the first region or the second region of the measurement device, a processing system configured to control the heating element responsive to reaching a threshold temperature, and a display configured to display a status of the first region or second region of the measurement device based at least in part on the status signal or flag.
