Inertial Measurement Units based on integrated designs to reduce alignment
and assembly costs. Integration also leads to performance improvement,
increased miniaturization and simplification as well as reduced cost. Also
disclosed are gyroscopes and accelerometers that are identical, yet by
their mechanization, can be made to act as separate sensors.
Miniaturization and simplification is improved by combining instruments
that can share a common member. Savings in space and complexity are also
possible in the electronics when elements are shared.
