| 20090114031 | ACCELERATION STRAIN TRANSDUCER - An accelerometer is provided including a strain sensor with a substantially linear configuration. The strain sensor is mounted on a transducer such that the strain sensor extends laterally across the transducer. The transducer has a base and a plurality of flaps joined at a first end to the base and supporting the strain sensor at a second end. The flaps translate acceleration in a predefined direction to strain in the strain sensor. Further embodiments have flaps defining an interrupted surface with greater height at the center and flaps that have features for enhancing the strain caused by acceleration. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20100024551 | FIBER OPTIC LASER ACCELEROMETER - An accelerometer is provided for a fiber optic laser. Strain applied to the fiber optic laser results in an emission wavelength shift. The fiber optic laser is joined to a transducer and extends laterally across said transducer. Acceleration of the transducer in a predefined direction causes strain in said fiber optic laser. The transducer can have many possible designs. There is further provided a system for sensing acceleration which includes a pumping laser and a distributor joined to the fiber optic laser. Return signals from the fiber optic laser are provided to an interferometer and analysis circuitry. In the absence of a transducer, the system can operate as a strain sensor. | 02-04-2010 |
