GYRO SENSOR APPARATUS
A gyro sensor apparatus includes a driving section that supplies a driving signal, which is for vibrating a sensing element of a vibration-type gyro sensor in a drive axis direction, to the sensing element, and a processing unit that receives a first vibration signal having an amplitude proportional to a driving vibration amplitude, which is an amplitude of vibration in the drive axis direction of the sensing element and a second vibration signal having an amplitude proportional to Coriolis force generated in the sensing element due to an angular velocity of the sensing element. The processing unit is configured to calculate a ratio of Coriolis force to the driving vibration amplitude based on the first vibration signal and the second vibration signal and output a result of the calculation as a result of detection of the angular velocity of the sensing element.

ENERGY EFFICIENT SPHERICAL MOMENTUM CONTROL DEVICES
Embodiments of a spherical momentum control device are provided. In one embodiment, the spherical momentum control device includes a housing assembly bounding a cavity, a rotor support axle disposed within the cavity, and a spherical bearing interface formed between the rotor support axle and the housing assembly.

A rotor is mounted to the rotor support axle (e.g., through precision bearings) for rotation about a spin axis. The spherical bearing interface can assume any form for facilitating rotation of the rotor support axle about the orthogonal axes including, for example, a low friction plane bearing interface. In one embodiment, the spherical bearing interface includes rolling element bearings embedded in the cavity walls or embedded in enlarged end caps forming part of the rotor support axle.

METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MULTI-AXIAL INERTIAL FORCE SENSOR
Before a pedestal is assembled, a sensitivity is inspected for each of sensors disposed in blocks respectively. In an inspection step, the blocks in which the sensors are disposed respectively are prepared. The blocks are fitted into main-axis groove portions of a main-axis tray, and the blocks are brought in contact with main-axis positioning surfaces of the main-axis groove portions to dispose the thickness direction of the main-axis tray and the main-axes of the sensors in parallel. The main-axis tray is arranged on a turntable such that a central axis of rotation of the turntable and the thickness direction of the main-axis tray are in parallel and that the central axis of rotation of the turntable and the main-axes of the sensors are in parallel. The turntable is made pivoting or swinging to inspect the sensitivities, in the main-axes, of the of sensors.
Head positioner for retinal surgery patients
A position sensing system comprises a position sensor having an accelerometer and a gyroscope, an alarm, and a controller configured to receive data from the position sensor and activate the alarm according to alarm management instructions stored in a memory. In some embodiments, the alarm instructions include a snooze option to allow the user/patient to temporarily deactivate the alarm. The controller is communicably linked to a remote display device configured to display the orientation of the user's body part.
