105 Closed loop temperature compensation for accelerometer current scale factor US738269 1991-07-31 US5220831A 1993-06-22 William F. Lee
A temperature compensation system for a force balance accelerometer is disposed within a feedback loop. A series resistor (82) is connected in series with torque coils (30,80). Connected in parallel with the torque coils and the series resistor (82) is a parallel resistor (84) having a positive resistive temperature coefficient. Series resistor (82) and parallel resistor (84) are placed in close thermal communication with torque coil (30) and a magnetic circuit that includes stators (10 and 12) and permanent magnets (14). As the temperature of the accelerometer increases, less current flows through parallel resistor (84) and more current flows through the torque coil (30), thereby compensating for a reduced torque constant of torque coil that decreases with temperature, yet, enabling the resulting output current, I.sub.o, to remain constant (for a given acceleration).

108 Fiber-optic accelerometer US584691 1990-09-19 US5134882A 1992-08-04 Robert M. Taylor
An accelerometer includes a compliant cylinder supported midway along its length and having equal masses at opposite ends. Two birefringent optical fibers with elliptical cores are wound around the cylinder in opposite senses on opposite sides of the support. Radiation from a source is supplied to one end of both fibers and emerges from the opposite end where it is supplied to respective photodiodes via respective polarizers. Acceleration axially of the cylinder causes extensive strain in one fiber and compressive strain in the other which causes equal and opposite changes in birefringence. A processor subtracts the change in outputs of the photodiodes to provide an acceleration output that is independent of temperature.

114 Temperature compensation of a steady-state accelerometer US205194 1988-06-10 US4891982A 1990-01-09 Brian L. Norling
Prior steady-state accelerometers are subject to errors caused by differential thermal expansion between the force transducers and other accelerometer components. This problem is overcome by the present accelerometer that comprises a housing (32), a proof mass (30), a support (34,36) for mounting the proof mass with respect to the housing, and first and second force sensing elements (38,40). The force sensing elements have DC frequency responses, and are connected between the proof mass and the housing such that differential thermal expansion or contraction between the force sensing elements and the proof mass, support and housing results in rotation of the proof mass about a compensation axis (CA) normal to the sensitive axis (SA). The force sensing elements may extend from their respective points of connection to the proof mass in opposite directions parallel to the sensitive axis to their respective points of connection to the housing, and the force sensing elements may be connected to the proof mass at spaced-apart positions on opposite sides of the compensation axis.

120 Velocity sensor US29458472 1972-10-03 US3811056A 1974-05-14 BABA K; WAZAWA K
A sensor for measuring the revolution speed of a rotary element which may be a wheel axle of a motor vehicle. The sensor has a rotary disc which is positioned between light-emissive and lightsensitive means which are aligned with each other. The rotary disc has a number of apertures at its entire periphery, which apertures are successively brought into alignment with the flux of the light projected from the light-emissive means to the light-sensitive means as the disc is driven for rotation in synchronism with the rotary element to be measured. The lightsensitive means thus produces a train of pulses having a frequency related to the revolution speed of the rotary disc. The pulses are fed to an electric circuit arrangement for being shaped and amplified and delivered to a system to be controlled on the thus produced output signals. The circuit arrangement includes means which is adapted to compensate for errors which would otherwise be involved in the output signals where the sensor is subject to variation in the ambient temperature.
