Falcon Gravity Gradiometer Technology
BHP Billiton's FALCON airborne gravity gradiometer is a derivative of the Gravity Gradient Instrument (GGI) developed by Bell Aerospace (now Lockheed Martin) between 1975 and 1990. The basis of the GGI design is an accelerometer complement consisting of four accelerometers equi-spaced on a circle with their sensitive axes tangential to the circle. This

Analysis of limitations on recovery of gravity field based on satellite gravity gradient data
Although satellite gravity gradient data plays a great role in determining short-wavelength part of static gravity field model, accuracy of the long-wavelength part of gravity field model recovered by them are poor, which leads to only a few applications

Simultaneously Acquired Magnetoencephalography and Diffuse Optical Tomography Data Reveals Correlated Somatosensory Activity. [PDF]
Fiberoptic probe for simultaneous high‐density diffuse optical tomography (HD‐DOT) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) was constructed and tested in a somatosensory experiment. Equivalent current dipoles were fitted to the MEG data. SI and SII dipole waveform features were extracted and used to localize correlated hemodynamic activity in the postcentral ...

CALIBRATION METHOD FOR GRAVITY GRADIOMETERS BY MEANS OF TWO ROTATING CYLINDERS
The problem of maintaining a constant gravitational gradient in a relatively large volume of space is considered. This provides a well defined input signal to a gravity gradiometer for the purpose of its calibration.
