Lateral Acceleration Sensor

The lateral acceleration sensor detects crisscross direction acceleration against the fixed electrode and movable electrode. The sensor is a static-electricity capacity type, and the sensor detects static-electricity between the fixed electrode and movable electrode which is changed by lateral acceleration.
