Abstract:
1. A sensor comprising: a substrate; a plurality of movable substructures that are mounted over a surface of the substrate and that include at least a first Coriolis element and a second Coriolis element; a driver configured to set the movable substructures into a driven mode; a plurality of detectors configured to detect deflections of the Coriolis elements, wherein (a) detected deflections of the first Coriolis element are caused by a Coriolis force generated due to, and associated by the sensor with, an input motion about a first axis and (b) detected deflections of the second Coriolis element are caused by a Coriolis force generated due to, and associated by the sensor with, an input motion about a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis; a first spring that directly connects the first Coriolis element to the second Coriolis element; and at least one second spring via which a frame is connected to at least one of the Coriolis elements, which the frame surrounds.
