Abstract: Drive-embedded dither pickoff embodiments for a dither motor of a ring laser gyroscope are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a dither motor comprising an outer rim; a hub section; and a plurality of reeds that couple the hub section with the outer rim. A first pickoff embedded drive transducer is mounted on a first side of at least one reed. The first pickoff embedded drive transducer includes a first pickoff section, and a first drive section that is separated from the first pickoff section by a first insulative gap. A second pickoff embedded drive transducer is mounted on a second side of the at least one reed in a back-to-back relationship with the first pickoff embedded drive transducer. The second pickoff embedded drive transducer includes a second pickoff section, and a second drive section that is separated from the second pickoff section by a second insulative gap.

Abstract: A sensor assembly is disclosed. The sensor assembly includes a housing that includes a top housing and a bottom housing that clamp together. The sensor assembly also includes a printed circuit board assembly (PBA). The sensor assembly also includes at least one piece of elastic material that is located in between the top housing and the PBA and in between the bottom housing and the PBA. When the PBA is clamped in the housing, the sensor assembly allows the PBA to maintain alignment relative to the housing across different environments in order to enable proper operation of the sensor assembly. A top surface of the PBA and a bottom surface of the PBA each have at least one three-dimensional feature that is designed to increase friction with the elastic material.
