A physical quantity sensor includes a fixed portion, a support beam, a movable body, and a first fixed electrode group. The movable body is coupled to the other end of the support beam, and the first fixed electrode group is provided at a substrate and arranged in a first direction of the support beam. The movable body includes a first coupling portion, a first base portion, and a first movable electrode group. The first movable electrode group faces the first fixed electrode group in a second direction. Further, hm=hr, where hm is a height of a gravity center position of the movable body in a third direction and hr is a height of a rotation center of the support beam in the third direction.

A method for approximating the behavior of a periodic parameter of a time-domain device in response to a perturbation, the method comprising the following steps: collecting data points at discreet times, wherein each data point represents a measurement of the parameter; dividing the time domain into intervals, each given interval containing at least one data point sampled during the given interval; fitting a polynomial function to the data points of each interval such that each interval has a corresponding polynomial function that is time-centered on the interval's center point and that accurately describes the parameter behavior over that interval; and stitching together the polynomial functions piece-wise to create an analytic approximation of the behavior of the system parameter over the entire time domain.

A universal fall detect system and its unique designed sensor as well as methodology to detect the fall event are disclosed. The fall event is detected by measuring relative position, and/or orientation between host body and direction of gravity at the spot where falling event happens. The system can present either as a standalone system or a built-in component with supporting software installed on other devices. The system linked to wide network and wide audience can trigger several emergency response and assistances if needed in time when a falling event happens.

An acceleration sensor has a substrate, a seismic mass and a detection unit. The seismic mass is configured to be deflected based on an external acceleration acting on the acceleration sensor, the deflection being in the form of a deflection motion with respect to the substrate along a deflection direction. The detection unit is configured to be deflected for the detection of a deflection of the seismic mass, the detection being in the form of a detection motion with respect to the substrate along a detection direction. The detection unit is connected to the seismic mass in such a way that the amplitude of the deflection motion along the deflection direction is greater than the amplitude of the detection motion along the detection direction.

An inertial force sensor has a first sensor element, a second sensor element, a first signal processor, a second signal processor, and a power controller. The first sensor element converts a first inertial force to an electric signal, and the second sensor element converts a second inertial force to an electric signal. The first signal processor is connected to the first sensor element, and outputs a first inertial force value. The second signal processor is connected to the second sensor element, and outputs a second inertial force value. The power controller is connected to the first signal processor and the second signal processor, and changes power supplied to the second signal processor based on the first inertial force value.
摘要:
An acceleration switch array having at least two acceleration switches. Each acceleration switch includes a substrate, an anchor attached to the substrate, an electrically conductive mass disposed around the anchor and secured to the anchor by a spring assembly which permits movement of the mass relative to the anchor, and a plurality of electrical contacts positioned at circumferentially spaced positions around and outwardly from the mass. These electrical contacts are aligned along at least one orthogonal axis. A resistor array is electrically connected between the electric contacts of each acceleration switch for each orthogonal axis so that, upon contact between the mass and any of the electrical contacts, an electrical resistance is presented at an output terminal that is unique for each electrical contact for each acceleration switch.

An acceleration switch has a mass body having a space inside, and a counter electrode provided in the space of the mass body. An arc-shaped beam surrounds and supports the mass body. The acceleration sensitivity threshold of the acceleration switch is determined by a cut portion in the mass body or by the area of the top surface of the mass body. In this manner, a plurality of acceleration switches each having a single acceleration sensitivity threshold, for example, in steps of 0.2 G, can be prepared.
摘要:
A process of forming a through-silicon via (TSV) in a die includes forming a movable member in the TSV that can be actuated or that can be a sensor. Action of the movable member in the TSV can result in a logic word being sent from the TSV die to a subsequent die. The TSV die may be embedded in a substrate. The TSV die may also be coupled to a subsequent die.
