IPC: H04R19/00
Filed: 2007-07-09
Abstract: A pressure sensor (e.g., a condenser microphone) includes a plate having a fixed electrode, a diaphragm having a moving electrode positioned opposite to the fixed electrode, and a support, wherein the diaphragm is subjected to displacement due to pressure variations applied thereto, and the support has a first interior wall forming a first cavity, in which the end portions of the plate are fixed, and a second interior wall, in which a step portion is formed in the thickness direction of the diaphragm in relation to the first interior wall and which forms a second cavity whose cross-sectional area is larger than the cross-sectional area of the first cavity in the plane direction of the diaphragm. The first and second cavities can be redesigned to communicate with each other via a passage, whereby it is possible to improve both of low-frequency characteristics and high-frequency characteristics in the pressure sensor.

Abstract: A method of error compensation for an inertial measurement unit is provided. The method comprises providing a first object including an inertial measurement unit, providing a second object proximal to the first object, and determining an initial position and orientation of the first object. A motion update is triggered for the inertial measurement unit when the second object is stationary with respect to a ground surface. At least one position vector is measured between the first object and the second object when the first object is in motion and the second object is stationary. A distance, direction, and orientation of the second object with respect to the first object are calculated using the at least one position vector. An error correction is then determined for the inertial measurement unit from the calculated distance, direction, and orientation of the second object with respect to the first object.
