20090100931Physical quantity sensor - A physical quantity sensor has a weight mass movable in a detection direction. Auxiliary capacitors are formed at both side ends of the weight mass in a non-detection direction by auxiliary movable electrodes and auxiliary fixed electrodes, respectively. When capacitances of the auxiliary capacitors change due to movement of the weight mass in the non-detection direction, a limiter circuit feedback-controls voltages applied to the auxiliary fixed electrodes to maintain the position of the weight mass unchanged. Thus, the weight mass is limited from moving in the non-detection direction thereby to improve accuracy in detection of the movement in the detection direction.04-23-2009
20090284905Electronic apparatus and method of making the same - In a method of making an electronic apparatus, electronic devices and a mold are placed in a package such that pads of electronic devices are covered with the mold. An electrical insulator is poured into the package, in which the mold is placed, to fill the package. The mold is removed from the electrical insulator to form a space where the pads are exposed. An electrical conductor is placed in the space such that the pads are electrically connected together through the electrical conductor. The electrical conductor is in the form of a liquid or a solid having both fluidity and deformability.11-19-2009
20100050767Angular velocity sensor - An angular velocity sensor includes first and second oscillators and a coupling beam. The coupling beam couples the first and second oscillators together in such a manner that the first and second oscillators vibrate relative to each other in a predetermined direction. The coupling beam includes a first post portion joined to a surface of the first oscillator, a second post portion joined to a surface of the second oscillator, and a spring portion that joins the first post portion to the second post portion. The spring portion is spaced from the first and second oscillators and has elasticity in the predetermined direction.03-04-2010
20100229646OSCILLATING ANGULAR SPEED SENSOR - An oscillating angular speed sensor includes a detector, a driving portion, and a separating portion. When an angular speed is generated while the detector is driven to oscillate by the driving portion, Coriolis force is applied to the detector. Therefore, the angular speed is detected based on a capacitance variation in accordance with a variation of an interval between a movable electrode and a fixed electrode of the detector. The separating portion is distanced from the detector and the driving portion, and is configured to separate a first space accommodating the detector and a second space accommodating the driving portion.09-16-2010
20100235107CONCENTRATION SENSOR DEVICE AND CONCENTRATION DETECTING METHOD - A concentration sensor device includes a sensor unit, a substrate, and a sedimentation limit unit. The sensor unit detects a concentration of a specific component contained in liquid. The substrate has a face to which the sensor unit is arranged. The sedimentation limit unit is integrally arranged with the sensor unit or arranged at an upstream side of the sensor unit in a flowing direction of the liquid. The sedimentation limit unit is configured to prevent sedimentation of a foreign object on the sensor unit. The sedimentation limit unit includes a piezoelectric element to vibrate when electricity is supplied so as to promote the foreign object to be separated from the sensor unit. The substrate has a recess recessed in a thickness direction of the substrate.09-16-2010
20100307246Semiconductor dynamic quantity sensor and method of manufacturing the same - A semiconductor dynamic quantity sensor has a substrate including a semiconductor substrate, an insulation layer on a main surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a semiconductor layer on the insulation layer. The main surface has a projection that is trapezoidal or triangular in cross section. The semiconductor layer is divided by a through hole into a movable portion. A tip of the projection is located directly below the movable portion and spaced from the movable portion by a predetermined distance in a thickness direction of the substrate. A width of the tip of the projection is less than a width of the movable portion in a planar direction of the substrate. The distance between the tip of the projection and the movable portion is equal to a thickness of the insulation layer.12-09-2010
