Ultra-sensitive accelerometry for space applications... The accelerometers developed are based essentially on the idea of electrostatic levitation of an inert test mass in the center of a cage... having particularly well-defined electric qualities. The position and attitude of the mass are measured by capacitive detectors. These measurements are used, with electronic slaving loops, to apply voltages to a set of electrodes distributed around the test mass. 1, record 8, English, - electronic%20slaving%20loop

Lorsqu'il est lié par la centrale directement à l'avion, le gyroscope doit être complété par une boucle électronique d'asservissement (boucle gyrométrique) qui fait précessionner son rotor de manière à lui faire suivre les mouvements angulaires de l'avion. La commande de précession est proportionnelle à la vitesse angulaire et constitue donc une mesure de celle-ci. 2, record 8, French, - boucle%20%C3%A9lectronique%20d%27asservissement
