Abstract
A sensing device includes a resonant member that is movable in a first mode and a second mode, and an electrode. The resonant member has a capacitive surface portion that faces and is capacitively coupled to a capacitive surface portion of the electrode. Displacement for each point along the capacitive surface portion of the resonant member in the first mode is substantially tangent to the point.
