First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining true meridian of any object at rest comprising the following stages:
- rotation of vessels incorporated into a sensor for measuring horizontal acceleration by means of an electric motor around a vertical of any object at rest, said vessels including pressure determination points symmetrically positioned with respect to the vertical of the object,stopping the rotation of the vessels when attaining a zero signal of linear acceleration,determining the true meridian by position of a perpendicular in a horizontal plane to an axis of sensitivity of the said sensor for measuring horizontal acceleration.

Abstract
The technical solution provided enables it to determine true meridian of an unmovable object on the Earth, and when moving at constant velocity true track angle. This solution is based on fixation of true meridian by zero value of linear acceleration with induced rotating points of determining pressure around the vertical. Said determinations are implemented quickly and accurately, irrespective of the disturbing factors influence, in particular, electromagnetic and magnetic fields, weather conditions, vibrations, cross accelerations, temperature and others.
