Claim Text:
1. A gyroscope comprising; a substrate; a guided mass system, the guided mass system comprising at least one proof-mass and at least one guiding arm; wherein the proof-mass and the guiding arm are disposed in a plane parallel to the substrate; the at least one proof-mass being coupled to the at least one guiding arm; the at least one guiding arm being coupled to the substrate through a coupling comprising at least one flexible member; wherein the proof-mass vibrates in a first direction in the plane and the guiding arm rotates in the plane; wherein in response to angular velocity about a first input axis, an end of the guiding arm is able to rotate out of the plane and the proof-mass is able to rotate out of the plane; an actuator for rotating the guiding arm in the plane; and a transducer for generating an output in response to the angular velocity of the at least one proof-mass.
