Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110083507Yaw rate sensor and method for operating a yaw rate sensor - A yaw rate sensor includes a substrate which has a main plane of extension and a Coriolis element which is movable relative to the substrate. The yaw rate sensor has an excitation arrangement for exciting a drive oscillation of the Coriolis element along a first direction parallel to the main plane of extension. The yaw rate sensor has a detection arrangement for detecting a Coriolis deflection of the Coriolis element along a third direction which is perpendicular to the main plane of extension. In addition, the yaw rate sensor has a quadrature compensation structure which includes a comb electrode structure and a plate capacitor structure.04-14-2011
20110132087Yaw rate sensor - A yaw rate sensor having a substrate, a first Coriolis element and a second Coriolis element is described, the first Coriolis element being excitable to a first vibration by first excitation means, and the second Coriolis element being excitable to a second vibration by second excitation means, and the first and second Coriolis elements being connected to one another by a spring structure, and the spring structure also including at least one rocker structure, the rocker structure being anchored on the substrate by at least one spring element.06-09-2011

20100122577EVALUATION ELECTRONICS SYSTEM FOR A ROTATION-RATE SENSOR - An evaluation electronics system for a rotation-rate sensor, having a first and a second seismic mass, is developed for the purpose of ascertaining a rotation rate, acting on the rotation-rate sensor, from a deflection of the first and second seismic masses. The evaluation electronics system, in this instance, has a regulation member in order to minimize an undesired deflection of the first and second seismic masses, caused by interference influences.05-20-2010
20110023600MICROMECHANICAL YAW-RATE SENSOR - A micromechanical yaw-rate sensor comprising a first yaw-rate sensor element, which outputs a first sensor signal, which contains information about a rotation around a first rotational axis, a second yaw-rate sensor element, which outputs a second sensor signal, which contains information about a rotation around a second rotational axis, which is perpendicular to the first rotational axis, a drive, which drives the first yaw-rate sensor element, and a coupling link, which mechanically couples the first yaw-rate sensor element and the second yaw-rate sensor element to one another, so that driving of the first yaw-rate sensor element also causes driving of the second yaw-rate sensor element.02-03-2011
