Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A tuned coriolis angular rate measuring device, includes a substantially hollow generally annular, rotor driven by a high-speed synchronous spin motor. The motor is made unsymmetrical by mounting within the rotor near its periphery at least a pair of high density masses, the respective masses being located diametrically opposite one another. The rotor is secured within a gimbal structure which is in turn, mounted in tuned fashion upon a support housing through a cantilever spring at each end along the gimbal output axis, thereby providing bearingless frictionless pivots permitting limited gimbal rotation. A pair of piezo-electric crystals is secured at opposite edges of one of the springs …
