Abstract: An electromechanical device for measuring the inclination of a support plane with high resolution, high accuracy and low sensitivity to outside disturbances, comprising a first electromechanical pendulum system, controlled in a closed loop to measure the static rotations of an inverted pendulum pivoted to a supporting structure which can be associated with the support plane whose inclination is to be measured. The measurement is performed by measuring the mechanical torque required to keep the inverted pendulum in a neutral position, i.e., in a position which is substantially perpendicular to the support plane. This is made possible by a first motor which is associated with the inverted pendulum and turns it as a function of its angular deviation from the neutral position measured by a first position sensor associated with the inverted pendulum.
Abstract: An optoelectronic device for measuring the ground contact time and position of a body within a preset region, having a first measurement bar, which includes one or more infrared light beam transmitters, and a second measurement bar, which is arranged opposite and parallel to the first bar and includes one or more receivers, the number whereof is equal to the number of transmitters present in the first bar. The first and second bars are connected one another by means of an electrical line and form a measurement area therebetween.
