  • Patent number: 7067748
    Abstract: An omnidirectional tilt and vibration sensor contains a first electrically conductive element, a second electrically conductive element, an electrically insulative element, and multiple electrically conductive weights. The first electrically conductive element has a first diameter on a proximate portion of the first electrically conductive element and a second diameter on a distal portion of the first electrically conductive element, where the second diameter is smaller than the first diameter. The second electrically conductive element is similar to the first. In addition, the electrically insulative element is connected to the first electrically conductive element and the second electrically conductive element. The electrically conductive weights are located within a cavity of the sensor, wherein the cavity is defined by surface of the first electrically conductive element, the electrically insulative element, and the second electrically conductive element.
