This book presents inductive and hybrid levitation micro-systems and their applications in micro-sensors and -actuators. It proposes and discusses analytical and quasi-finite element techniques for modeling levitation micro-systems based on the Lagrangian formalism. In particula…
"Coriolis Vibratory Gyroscopes (CVGs) can be divided into two broad categories based on the gyroscope's mechanical element: (Type 1) degenerate mode gyroscopes, which have x-y symmetry, and (Type 2) non-degenerate mode gyroscopes, which are designed intentionally to be asymmetri…
