Abstract: A gimbal includes a first member, a second member, wherein the first member of the gimbal is rotatably mounted to the second member to be movable relative to a second member of the gimbal about a first rotational axis and a gimbal actuator assembly. The gimbal actuator assembly includes a first portion of an electromagnetic actuator mounted on the first member and a second portion of the electromagnetic actuator mounted on the second member, wherein an electromagnetic interaction of the first portion of the electromagnetic actuator and the second portion of the electromagnetic actuator causes a torque on the first member about the rotational axis.

Abstract: A loss of communications system for an aircraft includes a fault module configured to detect a fault condition of the aircraft, and an emergency communication module configured to connect to a network, and to transmit condition data of the aircraft over the network when the fault condition is detected. The fault condition can include at least one of a loss of communication between the aircraft and a remote user or a forced landing of the aircraft. The condition data can include at least one of current location data, aircraft system health data, landing site location data, or landing site characteristics data.

Abstract: System and method for providing a stable digital display of a value which fluctuates such as the input signal produced by a moving load on an electronic weighing scale. Digital readings are integrated over time, and the variations in the digital readings become insignificant compared to the sum of the readings in the historical average. Weight readings are automatically calibrated for span and linearization.
