Abstract: A multiple processor architecture with flexible external input/output interface is provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improving MEMS gyroscope start time are provided. In one embodiment, a circuit board for a MEMS gyroscope system comprises: a proof mass assembly; a proof mass control loop coupled to the proof mass assembly by a first proof mass motion sensor pickup line and a second proof mass motion sensor pickup line, where the proof mass control loop generates a set of drive signals that operate the proof mass assembly using a first capacitive signal from the first proof mass motion sensor pickup line and a second capacitive signal from the second proof mass motion sensor pickup line; and a tunable capacitive coupler connected to at least one of the first or the second proof mass motion sensor pickup lines, where the tunable capacitive coupler varies at least one of the first and second charge signals as a function of the drive signals.

Abstract: Systems and method for reducing the size of inertial measurement units are disclosed. In one embodiment, an inertial measurement unit assembly comprises: at least one inertial sensor configured to output uncompensated sensor data; an inertial isolator configured to isolate the at least one inertial sensor; an interface adapter, wherein the interface adapter includes at least one calibration alignment pin that is used as a reference point between the at least one inertial sensor, the inertial interface adapter and a vehicle to which the inertial interface adapter is attached. Furthermore, the inertial measurement unit is configured to output the uncompensated sensor data to a processing device located external to the inertial measurement unit.
