Title: Tetsuo Osawa: Innovator in Angular Velocity Sensors
Introduction
Tetsuo Osawa is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of sensor technology, particularly in the development of angular velocity sensors. With a total of 2 patents to his name, Osawa continues to push the boundaries of innovation in this area.
Latest Patents
Osawa's latest patents focus on advanced designs for angular velocity sensors. The first patent describes a downsized angular velocity sensor that improves detection sensitivity. This sensor features an oscillator supported by beams along two horizontal axes, consisting of two rod-like members and an interconnecting portion. A hollow region is formed between these components, where displacement detecting sections are located. These sections utilize an antenna-like electrode array to enhance capacitance change detection.
The second patent outlines an angular velocity sensor capable of sensing angular velocities about two perpendicular axes, the X-axis and Y-axis. In this design, a frame-shaped oscillator is mounted on support beams fixed to a substrate. A columnar electrode is also integrated into the oscillator. The sensor employs displacement sensing units on both the X and Y axes to detect angular velocities through the Coriolis force, allowing for precise measurements.
