ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 23 -- United States Patent no. 12,504,283, issued on Dec. 23, was assigned to MURATA MANUFACTURING Co. LTD. (Nagaokakyo, Japan).
"MEMS gyroscope sensing in-plane rotations" was invented by Tommi Piirainen (Vantaa, Finland).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A MEMS gyroscope for sensing rotational motion about an in-plane extending axis includes a body, a primary in-plane oscillator, a secondary in-plane oscillator and an out-of-plane oscillator. The primary in-plane oscillator includes an actuator element and is suspended from a primary anchor region on the body by a first spring system. The secondary in-plane oscillator is connected to the primary in-plane oscillator by a dr...
