... gyros and accelerometers have an offset, known as bias. The gyro bias for instance, shows itself after integration as an angular drift, increasing rise linearly over time(ramp)... To compensate for sensor drift, a process called augmentation is used, whereby gyro and acceleration errors are compensated by utilising other system states. For instance the angular drift error of a gyro after integration can be compensated, if true angular measurements are taken. Comparing the two shows then the gyro drift. Assuming that inertial systems are generally operated around an equilibrium position and thus linear acceleration integrates to zero over time, then attitude can be processed via gravitational acceleration, thus giving true angular measurements to compensate gyro drift. 1, record 7, English, - angular%20drift

Les deux sources françaises citées s'entendent sur «position avancée» au féminin, mais s'opposent pour ce qui est du genre du nom en l'absence du terme «position», l'une voulant «avancé» (et «position d'avancé») au masculin, et l'autre préférant «avancée» (et «position d'avancée») au féminin. Toutes deux peuvent avoir raison.

Float-type gauges are essentially water level gauges. A float in the gauge receptacle rises as rain water enters the chamber, the rise of the float being recorded by a pen on a suitably calibrated, clock-driven chart. Some float gauges can only record to the capacity of the chamber, but others are equipped with siphoning arrangements to let out the water when the chamber fills and to return the pen to the zero position on the chart. The most serious difficulty with such gauges is in their operation at temperatures below freezing. 4, record 11, English, - float%2Dtype%20gauge

With the advent of high performance rotor smoothing systems... the need to "fine-tune" rotor blade trim tabs to within a fraction of a degree has proven to be critical... Our new tab tool kits provide consistent, precise, and reliable tab bends in increments of. 001 in(. 025 mm). These new kits provide innovative features including :[a] dial indicator to provide highly accurate, repeatable adjustments; [a] tab bending tool which allows the user to directly read tab position as bends are made; mechanical provisions that retain the tab measurement tool on the blade and position the tool repeatedly in the proper measurement position; [a] zero reference tool to set the tab measurement tool to the manufacturers’ zero point [and a] protective case for transport and storage. These new tab tools kits are available for use with most helicopter models. 3, record 15, English, - tab%20tool%20kit

In a collaborative project with the Canadian Space Agency, two vibration isolation systems for zero-g environments have been developed-the Motion Isolation Mount(MIM) for orbital flights and the Large Motion Isolation Mount(LMIM) for parabolic flights. The approach taken for MIM has been to develop a mechanism having two parts : a stator attached to the structure and a payload-carrying flotor, with the only coupling between the two components being a flexible umbilical carrying signals and power to the flotor. The flotor is actively magnetically levitated by a set of wide-gap voice coil actuators. Its position relative to the stator is sensed by an optical position sensor while its absolute acceleration is sensed by an inertial accelerometer system. A digital controller uses the sensed information to compute actuator currents based on a control law that regulates acceleration and steady-state position to zero. The weak coupling between stator and flotor and the insensitivity of actuator force with position makes such a system extremely effective for vibration isolation... 2, record 16, English, - motion%20isolation%20mount

MIM a été utilisé sur la station spatiale Mir de mai 1996 à janvier 1998.

Where positioning accuracy is concerned, it may seem surprising that the accuracy provided by the gyros has more impact than that of the accelerometers... This is due to the fact that navigation in fact occurs on a sphere, the Earth. It will therefore be readily understood that traveling along a straight line on the Earth comes down in fact to a rotation, and that rotation is detected by the gyros. In practice, gyros are subject to a zero-error known as gyro bias : When there is no rotation, a gyro should indicate zero, but in fact measures something that is the bias value. When an inertial navigation system is immobile, the gyros measure bias values that are integrated by the calculator and the unit thinks that it is rotating, and therefore advancing across the surface of the terrestrial globe, which generates a position error. It will be understood that position error shows linear growth over time and there is a direct relationship between the accuracy of a gyro and position drift. 1, record 18, English, - zero%2Derror
