Abstract: A time delay measurement apparatus for determining the delay
between two signals comprises a variable delay circuit followed by a
processing circuit. The processing circuit extracts events from one of the
signals and uses it to sample the other signal. The samples are combined, e.g.
by summing or averaging, to determine a value representing the degree of
coincidence of the two signals. The operation is repeated for different values
of the variable delay in order to determine the delay associated with the
greatest degree of coincidence. The processing circuit preferably operates
digitally by using gates to cause a counter to have its value changed in a first
sense if binary transitions of the two signals occur substantially
simultaneously and are of the same type, and in a second sense if the
transitions occur substantially simultaneously and are of opposite types.
Multiple processing circuits operating on different delays can be provided
instead of using the variable delay circuit.

Abstract: In an automatically-loaded barrelled weapon (27), information from the barrelled weapon's automatic loading system is used to reduce the interference in the weapon servo that arises when the automatic loading system is set in motion or causes movements in movable parts. The arrangement can comprise or work with a unit (22) that obtains parameter information from, for example, the automatic loading system, which parameter information is representative of a force (F) interfering with the aiming of the weapon and caused by the automatic loading system on the barrelled weapon. The unit is arranged to produce a command (i6) to the servo motor (4), by means of the parameter information, that essentially or completely eliminates the said force. In this way, turning moment interference on the weapon that is caused by the activation of the automatic loading system is counteracted and the accuracy of the barrelled weapon when firing can be improved.
