Patent ID: 8136421

Claim:
A gimbal assembly, comprising: a gimbal mechanism configured to rotate about a first rotational axis and a second rotational axis that is perpendicular to the first rotational axis, the gimbal mechanism comprising a roll shaft and a pitch shaft, the roll shaft extending along the first rotational axis, the pitch shaft extending along the second rotational axis; an electrical connector coupled to, and mounted on, the gimbal mechanism; and a flexible substrate coupled to the electrical connector, the roll shaft, and the pitch shaft, and adapted to be coupled to an external circuit for electrically interconnecting the electrical connector and the external circuit, wherein the flexible substrate comprises: a first interconnect end, a second interconnect end, and a third interconnect end, the first interconnect end coupled to the electrical connector, the second and third interconnect ends each adapted to be coupled to the external circuit; a first arm extending between the first and second interconnect ends, the first arm coupled to the pitch shaft intermediate the first and second interconnect ends; and a second arm extending between the first and third interconnect ends, the second arm coupled to the roll shaft intermediate the first and third interconnect ends.
