    Abstract: A MEMS composite transducer includes a substrate, a MEMS transducer, and a compliant membrane. Portions of the substrate define an outer boundary of a cavity. A first portion of the MEMS transducing member is anchored to the substrate. A second portion of the MEMS transducing member extends over at least a portion of the cavity and is free to move relative to the cavity. The compliant membrane is positioned in contact with the MEMS transducing member. A first portion of the compliant membrane covers the MEMS transducing member and a second portion of the compliant membrane is anchored to the substrate.

    Abstract: (Problem)To provide a load detection sensor capable of stably weighing a heavy object to be weighed in high precision(Means to solve the problem)The load detection sensor 40 according to the present invention comprises a force sensor 41 including a tuning fork vibrator and a block body 42 that has a rectangular parallelepiped outer shape and transmits an applied load to the force sensor by using a lever to reduce the load. It is characterized in that the block body 42 contains therein a lever mechanism and a Roberval mechanism by working on the longitudinal side thereof and that the force sensor 41 is coupled to the side of the block body 42. Although the block body is cut and ground in the side for fabricating the lever mechanism and the Roberval mechanism, it maintains the rectangular parallelepiped outer shape and sufficient mechanical strength, thereby enabling to stably reduce the applied load.

    Abstract: Novel configurations for a miniature vibrating beam mechanical resonator provide low energy transfer to a supporting structure and low sensitivity to mounting misalignment. A symmetric suspended portion includes two vibrating beams that vibrate normal to a quiescent plane of the resonator, 180 degrees out of phase relative to one another. The vibrating beams are attached, at least at one end, to a torsional coupling element that is joined to a mounting pad along a non-translating suspension boundary. Counterbalances are attached to the vibrating beams, and the resonator is configured such that dynamic forces and moments coupled to each torsional coupling element from the vibrating beams are balanced along each nominal non-translating suspension boundary proximate to the symmetry axis and along the symmetry axis proximate to each nominal non-translating suspension boundary. Each non-translating suspension boundary is a torsional axis for a twisting deformation of the first torsional coupling element.

    Abstract: A tactile sensor unit is provided, which includes a substrate; a coat formed on the substrate; and a cantilever beam structure having one end fixed to the substrate and curved to rise in such a direction that the other end of the cantilever beam structure is farther from the substrate than the one end. The tactile sensor unit detects a load applied to the coat. The cantilever beam structure is capable of resonating at a first resonant frequency and a second resonant frequency which is different from the first resonant frequency. The tactile sensor unit further includes a computation section for calculating a directional component of the load based on a change ratio of the first resonant frequency obtained in accordance with a change in the load and a change ratio of the second resonant frequency obtained in accordance with the change in the load.

    Abstract: A resonator beam structure that, during vibration of the tines, minimizes coupling of a longitudinal motion of the tines into a support structure to which the resonator beam is attached. The resonator beam includes a pair of tines; a first base region mechanically coupling a first ends of the tines together; a second base region mechanically coupling the second ends of the tines together; a first cutout of a first predetermined geometry at a first predetermined position in a closed interior portion of the first base region; and a second cutout of a second predetermined geometry at a second predetermined position in a closed interior portion of the second base region. The invention includes a method for using finite element analysis to determine an optimum geometry and position of the cutouts.
