accelerometer gravity correction

[Necip Berme]

I was expecting Albert King from Wayne State University to respond to the
"accelerometer gravity correction" listing. As he has not, I am doing so to
set the record straight. In 1970's one of Dr. King's doctoral students
showed that nine accelerometers appropriately positioned on a rigid body
are necessary and sufficient to separate the effect of gravity from the
other acceleration information. Hence, it is possible to calculate the
position of a rigid body from acceleration data.
