Patent ID: 7610809

Claim:
A device comprising: a Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) sensor, said sensor comprising: a movable element adapted for motion relative to a rotational axis offset between first and second ends thereof to form a first section between said rotational axis and said first end and a second section between said rotational axis and said second end, said first section including an extended portion spaced away from said rotational axis at a distance approximately equivalent to a length of said second section between said rotational axis and said second end, and said movable element including a first surface and a second surface; a first static conductive layer spaced away from said first surface of said movable element, said first conductive layer including a first actuation electrode and a first sensing electrode; and a second static conductive layer spaced away from said second surface of said movable element, said second conductive layer including a second actuation electrode and a second sensing electrode, said first and second actuation electrodes opposing said extended portion.
