Title: Innovations by Timothy S. Norris
Introduction
Timothy S. Norris is a notable inventor based in Herts, GB. He has made significant contributions to the field of sensor technology, holding a total of three patents. His work focuses on enhancing the accuracy and functionality of piezo-electric rate sensors and vibrating structures.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Scale factor compensation for piezo-electric rate sensors." This invention presents a method and apparatus that maintains the magnitude of vibration at a primary pick-off point substantially constant. This enables the determination of the piezo-electric charge coefficient, allowing for the variation of the sensor's scale factor from a calibrated value. The invention ensures that the sensor output is corrected by a computational scale factor control unit, leading to more accurate sensor readings for applications requiring higher precision.
Another significant patent is the "Vibrating planar gyro." This invention features a vibrating planar ring or hoop-like structure that is suspended in space by a suitable support mount. It is designed to detect turning rate, linear acceleration, and angular acceleration. The turning rate is sensed through vibrations coupled by Coriolis forces, while linear and angular accelerations are detected by the lateral, vertical, and rocking movements of the entire structure within its mount.
