  • Gravity gradiometer compass
    Patent number: 4399694
    Abstract: A gravity gradiometer disposed upon a gyroscopically stabilized platform in a vehicle can be modified, without impairment of its normal operation, to perform compassing functions.
    Type: Grant

  • Solid-state resolver apparatus including digital angle modifier
    Patent number: 4340939
    Abstract: A resolver apparatus for receiving simultaneously a vectorial input signal and an angular input signal. The apparatus comprises a first resolver, a second resolver and a digital angle modifier consisting of a memory and an adder. The angular input signal includes a first part which is coupled to the adder and a second part which is coupled to the adder and the memory. The memory generates at its output a correction signal which is a function of the second part of the angular input signal. The output of the adder includes first and second modified angular input signals which are coupled to the first and second resolver respectively to rotate the vectorial input signal through a total angle corresponding to the angular input signal.

  • Electronic compensation for temperature variation of gyroscope damping
    Patent number: 4159502
    Abstract: A signal compensator is combined with a second order system, for example, a fluid damped rate gyroscope, which produces a signal in response to the movements of a damped member for providing an output signal which is indicative of the input to the second order system and is unresponsive to variations of the (selected) damping (ratio) of the movable member.

  • Solid-state resolver apparatus
    Patent number: 3974367
    Abstract: A solid-state resolver apparatus comprising cascaded coarse and fine-angle resolvers. The fine-angle resolver includes first and second averaging means for averaging input and output signals, first and second multipliers for multiplying a digital angular input signal by the outputs of the averaging means and first and second summing means for receiving the input signals and the outputs of the multipliers. The outputs of the summing means correspond to the orthogonal components of an output signal obtained by rotating the input signal through a given angle.
