20110138909 GRAVITY GRADIOMETER - The present disclosure provides a gravity gradiometer that comprises a detector for detecting a gravity gradient. The detector comprises at least one movable sensing element and that is arranged to generate a signal in response to a change in gravity gradient. The gravity gradiometer also comprises a support structure for supporting the detector in an aircraft and a component that is arranged to reduce transmission of an aircraft acceleration to the detector. The at least one movable sensing element and the support structure together are arranged to reduce an influence of the aircraft acceleration on the signal by a factor of at least 1006-16-2011
20110162449DETECTOR FOR DETECTING GRAVITY GRADIEN - The present disclosure provides a gravity gradiometer which comprises a component comprising a detector for generating a signal in response to a change in gravity gradient experienced by the gravity gradiometer. The gravity gradiometer also comprises a support structure for supporting the component in a manner such that the component is movable relative to the support structure. Further, the gravity gradiometer comprises an acceleration sensor for sensing an acceleration associated with an external acceleration when the gravity gradiometer is exposed to the external acceleration. In addition, the gravity gradiometer comprises an actuator for generating a force on the component as a function of both an acceleration sensed by the acceleration sensor and a response parameter associated with the component. The actuator is arranged to apply a generated force such that transmission of the acceleration from the support structure to the component is reduced.07-07-2011
