Abstract
This chapter presents the principle of operation of a class of nongyroscopic electromechanical sensors based on the Coriolis effect. The significant ongoing technological development effort in a number of leading industries in the United States now yielded prototypes that have demonstrated promising performance. These efforts may eventually lead to the replacement of the relatively cumbersome gyroscopic spinning mass technology.
