Unfortunately, the precision of the kinematic coordinates is compromised by the estimation of the receiver clock synchronization offset in addition to the three kinematic coordinates for every observation epoch. In this paper the potential of receiver clock modeling to improve the precision of the kinematic orbit determination is investigated. The formation flying twin satellites of the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission are considered as a case study. A unique feature of these satellites is the combination of a dual frequency GPS receiver with an Ultra Stable Oscillator (USO), that provides the required frequency stability for the proposed clock modeling approach. Based on a piece-wise linear clock parametrization with 60 s intervals, a significant reduction of the high-frequency radial orbit differences with respect to a reduced-dynamic orbit is shown.","PeriodicalId":6409,"journal":{"name":"2012 European Frequency and Time Forum","volume":"110 1","pages":"157-160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79554351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through the minimum size the IMU can be integrated into clothes or shoes and provide the full functionality of pedometers. In an experiment the Micro-IMU was mounted on a shoe for detecting the human movement. With sensor data-fusion based on Kalman Filter and ZUPT (Zero Velocity Update) Algorithm we could track a person in an indoor area.","PeriodicalId":6409,"journal":{"name":"2012 European Frequency and Time Forum","volume":"18 1","pages":"443-447"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79223777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For about one year, the ring laser has been utilized by the Virgo gravitational wave interferometer with the aim of estimating and monitoring the local rotational noise which is degrading the performances of its inertial suspensions. Results in the field of environmental monitoring for the improvement of the suspension control as well as the results in the field of rotational seismology are presented.
