    Abstract: Disclosed are ferroelectric devices including devices for performing a multiplication of analog input signals and resonators. In one aspect, a ferroelectric nanoelectromechanical device includes a first structural beam, a first input electrode disposed on a first top portion of the first structural beam, and an output electrode. The apparatus further includes a first ferroelectric film disposed on a second top portion of the first input electrode, and a first resistive layer disposed on a third top portion of the first ferroelectric film, wherein a first electrode is positioned at a first end of the first resistive layer and a second electrode is positioned at a second end of the first resistive layer.

    Abstract: A vibration transducer module for detecting a vibratory signal, comprising a base, a spring connected to the base at a first location, a mass mechanically coupled to the spring at a second location remote from the first location, and a wall configured to position a first wall electrode and a second wall electrode a selected distance from the first location, the conductive element positioned and sized to contact the first wall electrode and the second wall electrode. The mass comprises a conductive element, and an energy harvester to provide a first voltage signal. The energy harvester may comprise a piezoelectric material or be construct as a SAW device. The module may be combined with a rectifier and an oscillator to form a vibration sensor.

    Abstract: A rotation sensor, including: (i) a substrate having a top surface and an interior bottom surface; (ii) an electrode module positioned on the top surface of the substrate and including a first set of electrodes configured to generate a bulk acoustic wave directly into the substrate, wherein at least a portion of the bulk acoustic wave is transduced into a shear wave upon reflection on the interior bottom surface of the substrate without use of a reflector, and a second set of electrodes configured to detect the shear wave; and (iii) a controller in communication with the first set and second set of electrodes and configured to determine, based on the detected shear wave, an effect of Coriolis force on the sensor.
