Abstract
This paper proposes a novel piezoelectric detection method based on flexible hinges with narrow grooves, which significantly enhances the sensitivity and resolution of tuning fork gyroscope (TFG) and makes it reach tactical-grade specifications. Aimed to elevate the performance of the classic TFG to tactical-grade, we introduced narrow grooves to the vibration arms in sensing direction to amplify stress concentration effects under Coriolis force, thereby improving the charge-output efficiency on sensing PZT pieces and achieving a high Signal-to-Noise Ratio. Through simulation, we optimized the parameters of the narrow grooves (1mm width and 1.7mm depth finally). And the experiment shows that a 690% improvement in sensing coefficient has been achieved. It also demonstrates that major breakthroughs have been staged in the modified TFG (M-TFG) compared to the classic TFG (C-TFG): sensitivity is increased by 520% and reached to 92.2 mV/(°/s), ARW is optimized to 0.03°/√h, bias drift is reduced to 5.43°/h, and resolution is improved by nearly an order (about 0.0048°/s/√Hz to 0.00048°/s/√Hz). Notably, the modified gyroscope (M-TFG) exhibits excellent long-term stability while meeting tactical-grade specifications with a practical bandwidth of 100Hz. This research provides an innovative solution for low-cost and high-performance TFGs, with close-loop excitation and open-loop detection. At the same time, we also verified the structural optimization's efficacy in sensitivity increase, resolution improvement.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
