Abstract
A micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) transducer () is adapted to use lateral axis vibration to generate non-planar oscillations in a pair of teeter-totter sense mass structures () in response to rotational movement of the transducer about the rotation axis () with sense electrodes connected to add pickups (e.g.,) diagonally from the pair of sense mass structures to cancel out signals associated with rotation vibration.
