          Appeal No. 1999-1543                                                        
          Application No. 08/456,762                                                  

               The disclosed invention is directed to motion controlling              
          apparatus including a combining network, having an acceleration             
               input for receiving an acceleration signal representative              
          of acceleration of a movable element, from an accelerometer, and            
          a position input for receiving a position signal representative             
          of the position of the movable element, and an output for                   
          providing an inferred position signal representative of an                  
          inferred position of the movable element.  The combining network            
          includes a signal processor for processing the acceleration                 
          signal to provide a modified acceleration signal, a second signal           
          processor for processing the position signal to provide a                   
          modified position signal, and a combiner for additively combining           
          the modified acceleration signal with the modified position                 
          signal to provide the inferred position signal.  The first signal           
          processor may comprise a low pass filter, but may include a                 
          velocity terminal for providing a velocity signal representative            
          of the velocity of the movable element.  There may be a second              
          low pass filter for filtering the position signal to provide the
