Patent number: 11885641Abstract: An elastically supported electrode substrate for detecting unbalanced mass of a resonant gyroscope includes an outer frame and an inner structure. A connection part configured to be connected to an anchor of a resonator is arranged at the center of the inner structure, and electrodes are distributed on the inner structure. The inner structure is connected inside the outer frame through elastic beams, and the inner structure has torsional and/or translational resonant modes inside the outer frame. The resonant frequency of the inner structure approaches resonant frequency of an operating mode of the resonator. Since the resonant frequency of the elastically supported electrode substrate approaches the resonant frequency of the operating mode of the resonator, the vibration displacement induced by the unbalanced mass of the elastically supported electrode substrate can be significantly magnified to improve the detection sensitivity.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2023Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF DEFENSE TECHNOLOGYInventors: Yan Shi, Dingbang Xiao, Kun Lu, Xiang Xi, Xuezhong Wu, Yulie Wu, Yongmeng Zhang

Patent number: 9952106Abstract: Input device configurations are described. In implementations, an input device includes a sensor substrate having a capacitive sensor to detect proximity of an object that contacts the input device. The input device also includes a flexible contact layer spaced apart from the sensor substrate, where the flexible contact layer is implemented to flex and contact the sensor substrate responsive to pressure applied by the object to initiate an input to a computing device. The flexible contact layer can include a force concentrator pad that is designed to cause pressure to be channeled through the force concentrator pad to cause the flexible contact layer to contact the sensor substrate to initiate the input.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2016Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Timothy C. Shaw, Flavio P. Ribeiro, Glennis E. Covington, Christian C. Gadke, Xuezhong Wu, Bradley R. Martin, Francie Judith Zant, Scott M. Mail, James C. Marshall

Patent number: 7723881Abstract: The present invention involves a type of flat, motor-driven vibrator that does not increase the outer physical dimensions of the vibrator while increasing the amount of vibration by changing the mass and balance of the eccentric rotor. The base structure of the eccentric rotor is made of high-density alloy. Two or more coils are installed over the protuberances of the alloy oscillator and a circuit board is installed into the other end of the oscillator. A self-lubricating and wear-resistant, low-density plastic material is injected into the gap between the coils, the oscillator, and the circuit board to mold them together. A cylindrical bore in the middle of the molded plastic is used as a rotor bearing.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2006Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: BYD Company LimitedInventors: Kelong Zhao, Xuezhong Wu
