The temperature-induced effects are analysed in terms of the temperature coefficient of deflection (TCD) for GAS flexures of varying cross-section profiles. The simulated models suggest that the maximum TCD is observed at the minimum stiffness operating points of the flexures. The models also suggest that the cross-sectional shape changes due to fabrication tolerances significantly impact the stiffness, and, hence, the resonant frequency of the devices. Interestingly, it is observed that the temperature sensitivities of the simplified models are found to be mainly dependent on the device material (Si), irrespective of the cross-sectional profiles.","PeriodicalId":435781,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Inertial Sensors and Systems (INERTIAL)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130074950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ultrafast characterization method is proposed based on the analysis of angle estimation error to obtain the compensation parameters of detection electrode errors.

However, the performances of the AI-based methods depend strongly on the quality of the data. With the fast development of powerful hardware, collecting, storing and training huge databases are not problematic anymore. The true bottleneck to AI is rather getting high-quality labeling of the data, especially for supervised learning. This paper aims at discussing the most suitable and efficient way to label the step instants of wearables, between the choices of using physical approaches and the pattern interpretation approach. Physical approaches refer to using highly accurate foot-mounted equipment to get the step instants then project them on the related body parts. While the pattern interpretation approach relies directly on the signal signatures interpreted with the help of human gait knowledge. It is referred to as the \"brain\" approach. Two machine learning-based step prediction models are trained with respectively the \"physic\" and \"brain\" labeling approach. The performance assessment shows that the step prediction model trained with brain labeling has a true positive detection rate around 85.9% - 95.7% with almost no overdetection while the model trained with physical labeling can only reach 54.7% of true positive rate with a high overdetection rate (around 36.7%).","PeriodicalId":435781,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Inertial Sensors and Systems (INERTIAL)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121428405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since whole-angle (WA) operation is promising to reach navigation grade, this work proposes an innovative cell design to obtain isotropic in-plane vibration of a central mass, as a Foucault pendulum. This design, based on original link elements between the outer frame and the central mass allows the in plane central mass vibration without energy losses in the outer frame. A FEM calculation shows very low energy losses in the outer frame, of the order of 10-7 of the total energy contained in the resonator. Thus, for a device under vacuum only the thermoelastic losses will limit the Q-factor estimated above 8.5 × 105. We predict with our size design of 2.5 mm × 2.5 mm × 80 µm an angular random walk (ARW) of 0.007 °/√h in close loop configuration.

The low resonance frequency is attained by using a spring that is the resultant of positive mechanical stiffnesses and negative electrical stiffnesses. Voltage-tunability of the electrical stiffness enables ultra-small and tunable total stiffness. To attain a quick response even at the low resonance frequency, an amplitude monitoring and tuning are done at a higher off-resonance frequency of 330Hz. We demonstrate through simulations that the temperature dependence of the resonance frequency can be eliminated by using closed-loop tuning. To prevent issues caused by the ultra-small stiffness, we employ a force-balanced system that nulls the mass displacement.
