First Claim
Patent Images
1. A resonator, comprising:
- a resonator mass;
a first connector on a first side of the mass connected between the resonator mass and a first fixed mounting;
a second connector on a second, opposite, side of the mass connected between the resonator mass and a second fixed mounting; and
drive means for driving the mass into a resonant mode in which it oscillates in a sideways direction, thereby compressing one of the first and second connectors while extending the other of the first and second connectors.

Abstract
A resonator comprises a resonator mass (34), a first connector (30) on a first side of the mass connected between the resonator mass and a first fixed mounting and a second connector (32) on a second, opposite, side of the mass connected between the resonator mass and a second fixed mounting. Drive means drives the mass (34) into a resonant mode in which it oscillates in a sideways direction, thereby compressing one of the first and second connectors while extending the other of the first and second connectors.
