INERTIAL MEASUREMENT DEVICE AND SELF-DIAGNOSIS METHOD OF INERTIAL MEASUREMENT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18324253 titled 'INERTIAL MEASUREMENT DEVICE AND SELF-DIAGNOSIS METHOD OF INERTIAL MEASUREMENT DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an inertial measurement device that includes two inertial sensors and a processing circuit.

  • The first inertial sensor has a detection axis, and the second inertial sensor has a detection axis in the opposite direction.
  • The processing circuit is responsible for executing self-diagnosis based on the ratio of the output amplitudes of the two sensors.
  • The self-diagnosis determines if the ratio falls within a reference range.
  • The purpose of the self-diagnosis is to ensure the proper functioning of the inertial measurement device.
  • This innovation allows for accurate and reliable measurements by detecting any abnormalities or malfunctions in the sensors.


Original Abstract Submitted

An inertial measurement device includes a first inertial sensor having a first detection axis, a second inertial sensor having a second detection axis defined in a direction opposite to the first detection axis, and a processing circuit configured to execute self-diagnosis based on whether a ratio of an amplitude of an output of the first inertial sensor to an amplitude of an output of the second inertial sensor is within a reference range.
