DEFINITION

Classification: 73/504.03

Multisensor for both angular rate and linear acceleration:

(under subclass 504.02) Subject matter wherein the inertial element also has an intrinsic or relational property which changes in response to acceleration of the body along a straight line and which can be used to measure the acceleration.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

491, for a mechanical speed or acceleration measuring apparatus or method including means retaining a reading of maximum acceleration.

510, for a separate motion sensor in a mechanical speed measuring apparatus.

514.01, for an apparatus using an inertial element for determining acceleration, per se.

652, for an apparatus sensing vibrations by use of an inertial element.

SEE OR SEARCH CLASS 116, Signals and Indicators,

28+, for a mechanical indicator means, per se, which provides a humanly perceptible signal in response to acceleration and has no quantitative measuring means.

310, Electrical Generator or Motor Structure,

329, for an inertia operated mechanical energy coupling means for a piezoelectric element or device.

324, Electricity: Measuring and Testing,

162, for electrical speed measuring means including an electrical accelerometer which senses acceleration by means other than an inertial element.

340, Communications: Electrical,

669, for an electrical indicator which provides a humanly perceptible signal in response to a predetermined acceleration and wherein no indication of a quantitative measurement is provided.

356, Optics: Measuring and Testing, appropriate subclass for the determination of acceleration by measuring visible light.

361, Electricity: Electrical Systems and Devices,

280+, for an acceleration responsive capacitor.
