    摘要: A tilt control mechanism for an office chair includes a spring arrangement which permits forward and rearward tilting of the chair while also urging the chair to a normal upright position. The spring arrangement includes front and rear springs which act in combination such that the upward acting forces acting on the chair can be varied during use. The forces being applied by the front spring are adjusted by a side-actuated tension adjustment mechanism which incorporates a wedge block for adjusting the spring forces. Further, the rear springs provide a variable spring force such that the spring force is maximized when in the normal position but is decreased substantially once the chair is fully reclined. This reduction in spring force allows a user to maintain the chair in the fully reclined position with significantly less force than was required to tilt the chair rearwardly while a sufficient spring force continues to be applied by the front spring to urge the chair to the normal position.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to precision control system for spacecraft gimbaled payloads. Embodiments of the invention provide an innovative technique of calibrating gimbals disturbances to directly canceling gimbal control disturbances. Such a calibration system includes a receiver for receiving telemetry data for pointing a payload, a processor for calculating a disturbance parameter vector for a gimbal disturbance model with the telemetry data and a transmitter for transmitting the disturbance parameter vector to compensate for pointing error when applied in pointing the payload. The gimbal disturbance model comprises a harness stiffness term, a disturbance harmonics term and at least one friction hysteresis term. The telemetry data may be time matched prior to calculating the disturbance parameter vector. Typically, the telemetry data comprises gimbal angle and applied torque data and the disturbance parameter vector is calculated from convergence of an iterative gradient computation with the telemetry data.
