Abstract: In a laser gyroscope, an activation wheel has a polygonal cylindrical hub formed by continuous assembly of vertical walls, wherein two adjacent walls of the cylindrical hub between them form a dihedron. Each radial plate of the activation wheel is connected to the cylindrical hub along the edge of a dihedron. The walls are formed with bulging portions, serving for plane-to-plane fixing of one face of the tulip to an optical block, and thin parts allowing a radial displacement degree of freedom of the fixing parts relative to the rim when there is a differential thermal expansion between the tulip and activation wheel. The activation wheel may be produced in a material having a thermal expansion coefficient higher than the tulip, for example steel, with plane-to-plane fixing of the tulip to the activation wheel hub, advantageously by screws, the assembly effectively accommodating the thermal expansion differential between the two materials.

Abstract: A micromachined accelerometer in a flat plate includes a base and at least two resonator measuring cells provided with a common mobile seismic element, the two measuring cells being placed one on each side of the common mobile seismic element along the sensitive axis of the accelerometer, such that under the effect of an acceleration, the resonator of one measuring cell undergoes a traction while the resonator of the other measuring cell undergoes a compression, the measuring cells respectively configured to amplify the acceleration force generating the translation of the common mobile seismic element provided with a respective anchoring foot-piece. The common mobile seismic element includes at least two mobile seismic masses able to be displaced in translation along the sensitive axis of the accelerometer and/or in rotation with respect to a respective axis of rotation substantially orthogonal to the sensitive axis under the effect of an acceleration along the sensitive axis.
