High-Q Micromechanical Torsion Resonator Based On Suspending A Test Mass From A Nanoribbon

NIST Inventors

Stephan Schlamminger and Jon R. Pratt

The present invention features a micrometer-scale torsion balance device comprising a rigid mass and two or more nanoribbons attached to the rigid mass. The rigid mass may be suspended by the two or more nanoribbons. The two or more nanoribbons may be placed under tensile stress. A local

Absolute Mass Balance

NIST Inventors

Leon Chao and Jon R. Pratt

An absolute mass balance determines an absolute mass of an object and includes: a dual diameter wheel including: a balance fulcrum; and a balance beam disposed on the balance fulcrum and including: a main mass arm and a counter mass arm; a main mass receiver that receives the object; a main magnet

Optomechnical Gravimeter

NIST Inventors

Jacob Taylor and Jon R. Pratt

An optomechanical gravimeter includes: a first and second accelerometer; and a spacer member interposed between the first accelerometer and the second accelerometer such that the first accelerometer and the second accelerometer independently include: a basal member; a test mass disposed on the basal
