FACILITY MEASURING MASS IN WEIGHTLESSNESS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: measurement technology, measurement of little masses under conditions of zero gravity, space flight. SUBSTANCE: facility includes container housing measured mass, control unit, position pickup, first and second electromagnets, first and second induction controllers, as well as master control of identification signal, error detector, identification unit, indicator connected in series. Output of position pickup is connected to second input of error detector, second output of master unit of identification signals is connected to second input of control unit which first input is connected to output of position pickup. First and second outputs of control unit are connected to inputs of first and second induction controllers which outputs are connected to inputs of first and second electromagnets. Ferromagnetic washers are put on container. EFFECT: enhanced measurement accuracy. 4 dwg
