Description
本発明の他の態様によれば、方法は、MEMS加速度計内のピックオフの静電容量の変化を検知するステップと、第1の磁束集束器と第1の磁極片との間、さらに第2の磁束集束器と第2の磁極片との間で平面状コイルを通して電流を送ることによってMEMS加速度計を再平衡させるステップとを含む。
第1のパッド54を有する第1の容量性ピックオフは、試験質量42の第1の側の第1の端部に配置される。第1の導電性トレース56は、第1の捻れ屈曲体46上で、パッド54を図1に示された検知電子機器構成要素26などの検知電子機器に接続する。第1の容量性ピックオフのための第2のパッド(図示せず)は、試験質量42の上に配置されたハウジング44の一部分(図示せず)の内側表面に取り付けられる。第2の導電性ピックオフトレース58は、試験質量42の第2の側で第3の捻れ屈曲体50を横切って第2の容量性ピックオフ(第1のピックオフの後で見えない)へ延びる。試験質量42の同じ端部のそれぞれの側で容量性ピックオフを使用することにより差分測定値をとることができる。試験質量42の第2の側、および/または回転軸の反対側上の試験質量42の他方端部に設置される更なる容量性ピックオフも一部の実施形態では存在し得る。
第1の容量性ピックオフ225は、試験質量202の第1の側の第1の端部上にある。第1の容量性ピックオフ225は、試験質量202上の第1のパッド226と、第1のパッド226と対向する、第1のハウジング構成要素212の内側表面上の第2のパッド228とを含む。第2の容量性ピックオフ229は、試験質量202の第1の側の第2の端部上に設置される。第2の容量性ピックオフ229は、試験質量202上の第3のパッド230と、第3のパッド230と対向する、第1のハウジング構成要素212の内側表面上の第4のパッド232とを含む。第3の容量性ピックオフ233は、試験質量202の第2の側の第1の端部上に設置される。第3の容量性ピックオフ233は、試験質量202上の第5のパッド234と、第5のパッド234と対向する、第2のハウジング構成要素214の内側表面上の第6のパッド236とを含む。第4の容量性ピックオフ235は、試験質量202の第2の側の第2の端部上に設置される。第4の容量性ピックオフ235は、試験質量202上の第7のパッド238と、第7のパッド238と対向する、第2のハウジング構成要素214の内側表面上の第8のパッド240とを含む。例示的一実施形態において、試験質量の低下効果を防止するために第1の容量性ピックオフ225と第4の容量性ピックオフ235とが接続され、第2の容量性ピックオフ229と第3容量性ピックオフ233とが接続される。
