Title: Michael F. Calaway and Three-Axis Accelerometer Innovation.

Introduction

Michael F. Calaway is an inventor associated with Phoenix, Arizona, and Motorola Corporation. His patent work includes an invention for measuring acceleration along three axes.

Latest Patents

Calaway is credited with 1 patent, titled “Three Axes Accelerometer.” The invention describes a semiconductor-based accelerometer with conductive layers arranged in parallel and spaced apart. Movement between the layers changes capacitance, allowing the device to detect acceleration along a first axis. Additional surfaces and electrically isolated plates are arranged to measure acceleration along two mutually orthogonal axes, enabling three-axis sensing in a compact structure made using semiconductor manufacturing techniques.

Career Highlights

Calaway’s listed patent reflects work on integrating multi-axis acceleration sensing into a semiconductor device. The design uses changes in capacitance to translate movement into measurable signals across three directions.

Collaborations

Calaway is associated with Motorola Corporation. His listed coworkers include Ljubisa Ristic and William C. Dunn.

Conclusion

Michael F. Calaway’s “Three Axes Accelerometer” patent represents a semiconductor-based approach to measuring acceleration in three dimensions.
