NTHU PME EDL, Chih-Wei Lin Q1. Micromachined Gyroscopes The micro gyroscopes work following the same principles as “Foucault Pendulum”, which is used to measure the angular rotation of the Earth and made by Jean B. L. Foucault (1819 ~ 1868). A suspended mass is allowed to sense oscillation and rotation induced by “Coriolis force”. By detect the position and velocity of the mass, the precision angle can be measured, which is proportional to the angle of rotation.

NTHU PME EDL, Chih-Wei Lin Scale law Usually, Coriolis Effect can be described by this equation. The scale factor of mass is “L 3 ”, and “L” for velocity. Thus, the scale factor of micro gyroscope is L 5.

NTHU PME EDL, Chih-Wei Lin Q2.Biological Structure: Diatom, Geckos and Insect Feet Example 1: Diatoms Diatoms are either unicellular or colonial. We can find diatoms all waters of the Earth. The characteristic of diatoms is that the cell wall is made by hydrated silicon- dioxide and feature sizes less than 5 nm.
