Abstract
A balancing device includes an active balancing mechanism. The active balancing mechanism maintains the balancing device in an actively balanced state within a range of the active balancing mechanism. An auxiliary balancing mechanism is configured to support the balancing device in an unbalanced state that is outside the range of the active balancing mechanism and aid a transition of the balancing device to the actively balanced state that is within the range of the active balancing mechanism, wherein the auxiliary balancing mechanism is configured to support the balancing device includes to prop up the balancing device.
Claims37
A balancing device including:
- an active balancing mechanism wherein the active balancing mechanism maintains the balancing device in an actively balanced state;
- and
- an auxiliary balancing mechanism wherein the auxiliary balancing mechanism is configured to support the balancing device in an unbalanced state and aid a transition of the balancing device from the unbalanced state to the actively balanced state;
- wherein the auxiliary balancing mechanism is configured to support the balancing device by propping up the balancing device in the unbalanced state.
A method of balancing a device including:
- transitioning the device from an unbalanced state to an actively balanced state using an auxiliary balancing mechanism, wherein the auxiliary balancing mechanism is configured to support the device in the unbalanced state and aid a transition of the device from the unbalanced state to the actively balanced state, wherein the auxiliary balancing mechanism is configured to support the device by propping up the device in the unbalanced state;
- and
- actively balancing the device using an active balancing mechanism wherein the active balancing mechanism maintains the device in the actively balanced state.
A balancing device including:
- an active balancing mechanism wherein the active balancing mechanism maintains the balancing device in an actively balanced state;
- and
- an auxiliary balancing mechanism wherein the auxiliary balancing mechanism is configured to aid a transition of the balancing device from the actively balanced state to an unbalanced state;
- wherein the auxiliary balancing mechanism is configured to prop up the balancing device in the unbalanced state.
