BSAC Seminar: Circular Orbit Operating Mode for MEMS Gyroscopes

August 28, 2012
Mitchell H. Kline Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, UC Berkeley BSAC Graduate Student Researcher August 28, 2012 | 12:00 to 12:30 | 540 Cory Hall, DOP Center Conference Room Host: Bernhard Boser

We present a gyroscope operating mode that reduces bias errors and scale factor drift and allows whole angle read-out. The gyroscope proof mass orbits in a circle at its natural frequency. An outside observer rotating under the proof mass then perceives a frequency change. If the observer rotates in the same...

BSAC Seminar: Frequency Modulated Gyroscopes

December 17, 2013
Mitchell H. Kline Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, UC Berkeley BSAC Graduate Researcher Dissertation Presentation Decemer 17, 2013 | 12:30 to 01:30 | 540 Cory Hall Host: Bernhard Boser

Dissertation Presentation MEMS gyroscopes for consumer devices, such as smartphones and tablets, suffer from high power consumption and drift, which precludes their use in inertial navigation applications. Conventional MEMS gyroscopes detect Coriolis force through measurement of very small displacements on a sense axis, which requires low-...

BSAC Seminar: Ultrasonic Depth Sensing on a Chip

February 5, 2013
Richard J. Przybyla Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, UC Berkeley BSAC Graduate Student Researcher February 5, 2013 | 12:00 to 06:00 | 540 Cory Hall, DOP Center Conference Room Host: Bernhard Boser

Optical 3D imagers for gesture recognition, such as Microsoft Kinect, suffer from large size and high power consumption. Their performance depends on ambient illumination and they generally cannot operate in sunlight. These factors have prevented widespread adoption of...
