摘要： An apparatus and method for counting the number of cycles of a sensor signal and of a reference signal that occur during respective time intervals associated with a sampling interval defined by a sample signal. Sensor and reference gate signals are produced and respectively define sensor and reference intervals. The sensor interval begins and ends synchronously with respect to the sensor signal, and the reference interval begins and ends synchronously with respect to the reference signal. The sensor, reference and sampling intervals are approximately coextensive with one another. Cycles of the sensor and reference signals are counted during the sensor and reference intervals, respectively. The process may be repeated for a plurality of successive sampling intervals.

摘要： An accelerometer comprising a body (10, 16, 12), a proof mass (18, 30, 32), a mounting strucutre comprising flexures (20, 22) for mounting the proof mass to the body, and force sensing elements (34, 38). The flexures permit translational motion of the proof mass with respect to the body along a sensitive axis SA and rotation of the proof mass with respect to the body about a hinge axis HA that is perpendicular to the sensitive axis. Acceleration of the accelerometer along the sensitive axis results in translational motion of the proof mass along the sensitive axis. The force sensing elements reacts to such translational motion by producing a signal indicative of acceleration along the sensitive axis. In a preferred embodiment, the mounting structure comprises a pair of fused quartz flexures that are oppositely directed with respect to one another, and the force sensing elements comprise a pair of vibrating beam force transducers that are connected to the proof mass on opposite sides of the hinge axis from one another. The described assembly method for accelerometers comprises forming bridges between the proof mass and body, the bridges being removed after attachment of the force sensing elements.

摘要： An angular rate sensor comprising a pair of accelerometers that includes means for continuously nulling error signals resulting from misalignment of the accelerometers. The first accelerometer (10) has a first force sensing axis and produces a first output signal (a.sub.1) indicating acceleration along the first force sensing axis. The second accelerometer (12) has a second force sensing axis and produces a second output signal (a.sub.2) indicating acceleration along the second force sensing axis. The accelerometers are mounted by mounting means such that their force sensing axes are both parallel to a common sensing axis and such that the accelerometers can be moved along a vibration axis normal to the sensing axis. A signal generator (76) produces a periodic deive signal having a predetermined frequency, and drive means (80, 82, 84) connected to the mounting means is responsive to the drive signal for vibrating the first and second accelerometers along the vibration axis at the predetermined frequency. Signal processing means (104) receives the first and second output signals and generates a Coriolis signal representing the Coriolis acceleration along the sensing axis resulting from movement of the accelerometers along the vibration axis and rotation of the body about a rate axis normal to the vibration axis and to the sensing axis. The signal processing means includes the detection means (92) that receives the Coriolis signal and produces a feedback signal that is a function of those components of the Coriolis signal that are in phase with respect to the drive signal. The drive means includes means (80) for combining the feedback signal with the drive signal, such that the in phase components are continuously driven towards a null value.

摘要： A borehole survey instrument has a probe with a polarized light system for transmitting a signal representing the angular orientation of the probe to the surface. Light from a source in the probe is directed through a polarizing filter with an axis of polarization orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the probe. The polarized light beam is transmitted to the surface through an optical fiber light conduit. The angle of polarization is detected with a rotating polarizing filter and provides a measure of the probe orientation. In surveying a borehole, azimuth is determined from inclinometer measurements. The probe orientation in vertical sections of the borehole is measured by the polarized light system. Two measures of borehole azimuth are combined, providing an improved measure of azimuth in boreholes near vertical and near horizontal.

摘要： A matched pair of vibrating beam force transducers for use in an instrument such as an accelerometer, to provide enhanced linearity and common mode tracking, while decreasing the possibility of lock in or cross-talk between the transducers. In a preferred embodiment, first and second transducers are provided, the transducers producing respective first and second output signals having respective first and second frequencies. The transducers are connected in an arrangement in which for a given acceleration, one frequency increases and the other frequency decreases. The first transducer comprises a pair of first beams, and the second transducer comprises a pair of second beams. The beam dimensions are selected such that the Euler buckling constants of the first and second transducers are substantially equal to one another, and such that the first and second frequencies are different from one another when the acceleration is zero and preferably are different from one another throughout the operating range of the accelerometer. In preferred arrangements, the transducer beams have a constant thickness, and the transducers have common axial stiffnesses.

摘要： A system for determining angular rate of rotation of a body about a rate axis. In one arrangement, the system comprises first (10) and second (12) accelerometers, movement apparatus and processor. The first and second accelerometers have their sensitive axes (16, 18) parallel to a sensing axis that is in turn perpendicular to the rate axis. The first and second accelerometers produce first and second output signals (a.sub.1, a.sub.2), each output signal having a frequency corresponding to the acceleration experienced by the respective accelerometer along its sensitive axis. The movement apparatus includes a generator (68) for producing a periodic movement signal and a mounting system (14) responsive to the movement signal for periodically moving the accelerometers along a movement axis perpendicular to the rate and sensing axes, such that each output signal includes a periodic Coriolis component. The processor includes a device (75) for producing a reference signal that defines one or more first time periods during which the Coriolis components have one polarity and one or more second time periods during which the Coriolis components have the opposite polarity. The first and second time periods together span one or more complete periods of the movement signal. The processor further comprises counters (71, 72) for determining, for each output signal, a phase value representing the difference between the phase change of the output signal during the first time periods and the phase change of the output signal during the second time periods. The processor further includes a microprocessor (80) for determining from the phase values a value representing the angular rate of rotation of the body about the rate axis. In a second arrangement, a single accelerometer is periodically moved along the movement axis.
