Abstract: A computed tomography imaging system includes a gantry and a rotating frame rotatably supported in the gantry and carrying at least one component for producing, transmitting or receiving X-ray radiation, a first motion sensor configured to sense a first motion of the gantry in a first plane and generate a first signal indicative of the first motion and that has a first noise floor, a second motion sensor configured to concurrently sense the first motion of the gantry in the first plane and generate a second signal indicative of the first motion and that has a second noise floor, and motion signal processing circuitry configured to combine the first signal and the second signal to generate a first combined signal indicative of the first motion, wherein the first combined signal has a third noise floor that is lower than the first noise floor and the second noise floor.

Abstract: A balancing system for use with a rotating member disposed in a stationary housing is configured for mounting to the stationary housing, and includes a first inclinometer and at least one processor. The first inclinometer is configured to provide inclination information at a first frequency, and to provide vibration information at a second frequency. The second frequency is higher than the first frequency. The at least one processor is operably coupled to the first inclinometer to acquire the vibration information. The at least one processor is configured to determine a state of balance of the rotating member using the vibration information but not the inclination information.
