Using players' Shapley-Shubik power indices, Peleg [4] proved that voting by count and account is more egalitarian than voting by account. In this paper, we show that a stronger shift in power takes place when the voting power of players is measured by their Shapley-Shubik indices. Moreover, we prove that analogous power shifts also occur with respect to the absolute Banzhaf and the absolute Johnston power indices.
The paper deals with problems concerning power gyroscopes for stabilization of vibro-izolation system. Two variants of gyro support with air drive were designed, namely with gas bearings and precision rolling bearings. Precession frame of the gyro is supported in aerostatic journal bearings to achieve minimum passive resistance. Some special phenomena, such as pneumatic instalibity, were found in some test regimes both at aerostatic thrust bearing of gyro support and aerostatic journal bearings of the frame support. However, with air inlet pressure level limited to value required for proper function of bearings, no instability was encountered.
