Angular Accelerometer

View page
US Patent:
6393914, May 28, 2002
Filed:
Feb 13, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/782708
Inventors:
Seyed R. Zarabadi - Kokomo IN
John C. Christenson - Kokomo IN
William J. Baney - Kokomo IN
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
G01P 1500
US Classification:
7351404
Abstract:
An angular accelerometer having a substrate, a fixed electrode supported on the substrate and including a first plurality of fixed capacitive plates, and a ring-shaped rotational inertia mass substantially suspended over a cavity and including a plurality of movable capacitive plates arranged to provide a capacitive coupling with the first plurality of fixed capacitive plates. A central member is fixedly attached to the substrate. A plurality of support arms extend between the central member and the ring-shaped mass for supporting the mass relative to the fixed electrode during rotational movement of the mass. The angular accelerometer also includes an input electrically coupled to the fixed electrode for receiving an input signal, and an output coupled to the mass for providing an output signal which varies as a function of the capacitive coupling and is indicative of angular acceleration.

Sensor Bias Drift Compensation

US Patent:
6486661, Nov 26, 2002
Filed:
Feb 12, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/781048
Inventors:
Michael Ik-Ming Chia - Cicero IN
Seyed R. Zarabadi - Kokomo IN
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
G01N 2772
US Classification:
324225, 324105
Abstract:
A method of removing bias drift from the output signal of a sensor is provided. The method includes sensing a condition with a sensor and generating an output signal, differentiating the output signal, and comparing the differentiated output signal with a threshold change. The method also includes the steps of determining the presence of bias drift based on the comparison, generating a bias adjustment command signal based on the determined presence of bias drift, and adjusting the sensed signal generated by the sensor in accordance with the bias adjusted command signal so as to remove bias drift from the output signal.

Angular Accelerometer Having Balanced Inertia Mass

Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
G01P 1500
US Classification:
7351402, 7351432, 7351438
Abstract:
A balanced angular accelerometer is provided having a substrate, a fixed electrode with a plurality of fixed capacitive plates, and a rotational inertia mass with a central opening and substantially suspended over a cavity and including a plurality of movable capacitive plates arranged to provide a capacitive coupling with the first plurality of fixed capacitive plates. The accelerometer has a central member and an outer member fixed to the substrate. According to one embodiment, a plurality of inner support arms extend between the central member and the inertia mass and a plurality of outer support arms extend between the inertia mass and the outer member to support the mass over the cavity. According to another embodiment, one or more cut out apertures are formed in the inertia mass to compensate for a channel and signal line so as to balance the inertia mass about the center of the inertia mass.

Microfabricated Linear Accelerometer

View page
US Patent:
6761070, Jul 13, 2004
Filed:
Jan 31, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/059010
Inventors:
Seyed R. Zarabadi - Kokomo IN
John C. Christenson - Kokomo IN
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
G01P 15125
US Classification:
7351432, 7351438
Abstract:
A linear accelerometer is provided having a substrate, a fixed electrode supported on the substrate and including a first plurality of fixed capacitive plates, and an inertial mass substantially suspended over a cavity and including a plurality of movable capacitive plates arranged to provide a capacitive coupling with the first plurality of fixed capacitive plates. The inertial mass is linearly movable relative to the fixed electrode. A central member is fixed to the substrate. Support arms support the inertial mass relative to the fixed electrode and allow linear movement of the inertial mass upon experiencing a linear acceleration along a sensing axis, and prevent linear movement along a nonsensing axis. Inputs and output lines are electrically coupled to the fixed electrode and the inertial mass. An output signal is generated which varies as a function of the capacitive coupling and is indicative of linear acceleration along the sensing axis.

Self-Test Circuit And Method For Testing A Microsensor

View page
US Patent:
6918282, Jul 19, 2005
Filed:
Mar 27, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/401207
Inventors:
Seyed R. Zarabadi - Kokomo IN, US
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
G01P021/00
US Classification:
73 138, 73 188, 324601, 29592, 702116
Abstract:
A test circuit and method provide testing of a capacitive type microsensor. The method includes applying a first signal having a first voltage potential to an input of a microsensor during a non-test operating mode. The method also includes applying a second voltage signal having a second voltage potential different than the first voltage potential during a test mode. The second voltage potential induces a net differential electrostatic force in the microsensor. The method further includes the steps of monitoring an output signal of the microsensor, comparing the output signal to an expected value when the microsensor is in the test mode, and determining if the microsensor is functioning properly as a function of the comparison.
