  • Load beam for surface acoustic wave accelerometer
    Publication number: 20070137300
    Abstract: Methods and systems for forming accelerometers include forming a load beam supported at one end having an input interdigital transducer (IDT) and an output IDT. The load-beam has a cross section varying in the longitudinal direction effective to cause the load beam to deflect radially in response to an applied load. The cross section varies in width, height, or both.

  • Accelerometer having adjustable damping
    Publication number: 20070022811
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for an accelerometer mechanism having a proof mass that is suspended for out-of-plane motion between first and second damping plates, wherein at least one of the first and second damping plates is movable between first and second positions relative to the proof mass under the control of a position control structure that is coupled to the movable damping plate for positioning the damping plate in the second position relative to the proof mass.
