A mechanical system consisting of a movable base and an object (rigid body) connected to the base by means of a two degree of freedom gimbal with mutually perpendicular axes is considered. The possibility to eliminate the projection of the apparent acceleration of a given object point on the plane perpendicular to an object fixed axis by controlling the rotation of the gimbal frames is investi gated. The apparent acceleration of a given object point is the difference between the absolute accel eration vector and the gravitational acceleration vector at this point. Sufficient conditions under which this goal is attainable in principle are formulated. Equations governing the rotation of the gimbal frames are derived. This problem is related to the development of control systems for gravity sensitive technologies in spacecraft.

This paper presents the experimental estimates for the influence of noises on measurement accuracy in intelligent pressure sensors based on silicon-on-sapphire structures. Moreover, the optimal parameters of ADCs and noise filtering methods for general-industry pressure sensors are defined.
