  • Patent number: 8978474
    Abstract: A micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) inertial measurement system facilitates accurate location and/or attitude measurements via passive thermal management of MEMS inertial sensors. Accuracy of the system is also improved by subjecting the inertial sensors to programmed single-axis gimbal motion, and by performing coarse and fine adjustments to the attitude estimates obtained by the system based on the programmed motion and on the passive thermal management of the sensors.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 29, 2011
    Date of Patent: March 17, 2015
    Assignees: The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc., Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Matthew S. Bottkol, Richard D. Elliott, Michael Y. Feng, Thomas F. Marinis, Michael F. Mcmanus, Shan Mohiuddin, Peter G. Sherman, John E. Pritchett, Jeffery W. Warren, Charles H. Lange
