SBIR Phase I: Compact, Robust Integral Three-Axis Motion Detector

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目如果通过第二阶段完成，将产生一个单一的整体式运动传感器，该传感器将同时测量沿三个正交轴的速度(或加速度)。这些传感器将是成熟的分子电子技术(MET)的开创性应用，采用了新的几何结构、改进的响应性能和基于电荷和质量传输现象的独特反馈系统。它们功耗低，体积小，非常坚固，没有移动部件，由于它们的完全对称，可以在任何方向工作。这些传感器应该立即在地震学，特别是海底和井下地震，地震工程，惯性导航，工业处理，以及任何需要测量速度或加速度的应用中得到应用。它们体积小，坚固耐用，对方位不敏感，这使得它们特别适合现场使用。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project, if completed through Phase II, will result in a single integral motion sensor that will simultaneously measure velocities (or accelerations) along three orthogonal axes. These sensors will be a ground-breaking application of the proven molecular electronic technology (MET) employing a novel geometry, improved response properties, and a unique feedback system based charge and mass transfer phenomena. They will be low in power consumption, com-pact and extremely robust, have no moving parts, and, as a result of their total symmetry, will operate in any orientation.These sensors should find immediate applications in: seismology, especially ocean bottom and borehole seismology; earthquake engineering; inertial navigation; industrial processing; and any application requiring measurement of velocity or acceleration. Their small size, robustness, and insensitivity to orientation make them especially attractive for field use.
