This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18446074 titled 'Vibration Element, Manufacturing Method of Vibration Element, Physical Quantity Sensor, Inertial Measurement Device, Electronic Apparatus, And Vehicle

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a vibration element that consists of a base and a vibrating arm.

  • The vibrating arm has a weight attached to it, and a weight film is placed on the weight.
  • The weight has a front and back surface, with the center of gravity located between the front surface and the center plane of the arm.
  • The weight film also has a center of gravity, which is located between the back surface and the center plane of the arm.


Original Abstract Submitted

A vibration element includes a base and a vibrating arm extending from the base. The vibrating arm includes an arm positioned between the base and a weight. A weight film is disposed on the weight. The weight has a first principal surface and a second principal surface in a front and back relationship with respect to a center plane of the arm. A center of gravity of the weight is located between the first principal surface and the center plane of the arm. A center of gravity of the weight film is located between the second principal surface and the center plane of the arm.
