  • Gravity gradiometer and methods for measuring gravity gradients
    Patent number: 8909496
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a bias-corrected value of at least one component of a gravity gradient tensor using a gravity gradiometer and a measurement bias of the gravity gradiometer wherein the measurement bias varies with time, by taking at least three measurements with the gravity gradiometer positioned in at least two orientations. Any gravity gradiometer can be used, including a Cross-Component Gravity Gradiometer (CCGG), an Orthogonal Quadrupole Responder (OQR), an In-Line Responder (ILR), a Diagonal-Component Gravity Gradiometer, or a Multi-Component Gravity Gradiometer (MCGG).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 17, 2012
    Date of Patent: December 9, 2014
    Assignee: Gedex Inc.
    Inventors: Kieran A. Carroll, John Barry French, Keith Richard William Morrison
