Micro-Torsion Balance
This technology is a new ultra-sensitive torsion balance device small enough to fit on a microchip, that can be used to measure forces, gravity, or acceleration with a high degree of resolution. Background: A torsion balance measures torque by monitoring the rotation of a test mass suspended by from an elastic fiber (acting as a torsion spring). To...

Monolithic Membrane Optomechanical Sensor
This invention is a monolithic membrane optomechanical sensor, capable of achieving micro-g sensitivity for acceleration sensing in a monolithic, chip scale platform. It consists of two membranes with differential stiffness on a single silicon chip. Due to the differential stiffness, both the membranes react differently to the actuating force. This...
