Short turn-around intercontinental clock synchronization using very-long-baseline interferometry

During the past year work was accomplished to bring into regular operation a VLBI system for making intercontinental clock comparisons with a turn around of a few days from the time of data taking. Earlier VLBI systems required several weeks to produce results. The present system, which is not yet complete, incorporates a number of refinements not available in earlier systems, such as dual frequency inosopheric delay cancellation and wider synthesized bandwidths with instrumental phase calibration.

Rectilinear accelerometer possesses self- calibration feature

Rectilinear accelerometer operates from an ac source with a phase-sensitive ac voltage output proportional to the applied accelerations. The unit includes an independent circuit for self-test which provides a sensor output simulating an acceleration applied to the sensitive axis of the accelerometer.
