  • Patent number: 8146424
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for an inertial sensor suspension that minimizes proof mass rotation and translation. The system contains a microelectromechanical sensor (MEMS) device for measuring rotation along an input rotation axis. The MEMS device includes at least one substrate, at least one proof mass, and a suspension system. The suspension system includes at least one flexure connecting the at least one proof mass to a substrate and at least one anchored suspension element with a split support beam having a first split portion and a second split portion. The first split portion and the second split portion are of curved shape.

  • Publication number: 20100253525
    Abstract: Systems and methods for human performance augmentation. A method for human performance augmentation includes collecting sensory data using at least one sensor on a user. When sensory data is collected, a processor processes the collected data into actionable situational intelligence. Once processed, the user is alerted through a tactile interface in communication with the processor. The tactile interface provides multimodal stimulation to the user. An example system for human performance augmentation includes at least one microsensor configured to collect sensory data, the microsensor having a processor. The system further includes a tactile interface in communication with at least one microsensor, such that when altered the tactile interface provides multimodal stimulation to the user.
