Abstract (en)

The resonator has an elastic spiral with coils and formed from a quartz mono crystal, and a balancer with a moment of inertia. The spiral is engraved in a precut plate (3) such that the height of the coils forms an angle with a cryptographic axis, after rotating around an x-axis, to adapt the thermal property of the spiral to that of the balancer. An independent claim is also included for a method of manufacturing a resonator.

Abstract (fr)

Le spiral est structuré par photolithographie et gravure dans une lame préalablement découpée dans un monocristal de quartz de sorte que la hauteur h des spires forment avec l'axe cristallographique z un angle θ permettant d'adapter le comportement thermique du spiral à celui du balancier en réduisant ainsi l'écart de marche du aux variations de température. <IMAGE>
