In a three-axis four-gimbal inertial platform, there is a small misalignment angle, [delta], between the pitch and inner roll gimbals. The problem... is to drive this angle equal to zero. This involves designing a control loop for nulling [delta]. By properly designing the control system, an orthogonality loop can maintain the angle [delta] near zero for reasonable values of pitch angle. 1, record 4, English, - three%2Daxis%20four%2Dgimbal%20inertial%20platform

Most inertial platforms are mechanized... in a "local vertical" mode, which means that the perpendicular to the stable element(inner gimbal) always points toward the center of the Earth. To accomplish this, the integrated outputs of the north and east accelerometers(vehicle velocity) are divided by the radius of the Earth and used as an additional signal to drive the gimbal torquers. This is known as a Schuler loop. 3, record 7, English, - Schuler%20loop
