ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,498,392, issued on Dec. 16, was assigned to InvenSense Inc. (San Jose, Calif.).
"Dual axis accelerometer with compensation electrodes" was invented by Roberto Martini (Milan), Luca Coronato (Corsico, Italy) and Xian Huang (San Jose, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A dual axis accelerometer with a single proof mass measures in-plane acceleration (e.g., either along an x-axis or a y-axis), out-of-plane acceleration (e.g., normal to an x-y plane), and tilt of a fixed portion of a MEMS layer (e.g., normal to the x-y plane). In response to a tilt measurement, the dual-axis accelerometer compensates any offset (e.g., variability) of the ...
