|
| The prototype device is able to monitor its orientation using an embedded gyroscope. |
|
| When the axis of a gyroscope is rotated the gyro attempts to make the plane of the rotation of the axis become the new plane of rotation for the gyro. |
|
| But since the crisis took hold, the macroeconomic gyroscope has begun to level out dramatically. |
|
| Another characteristic of a gyroscope is precession, which is the tilting or turning of the gyro axis as a result of applied forces. |
|
| You do not need power or batteries, and LEDs that are included in most of its models are illuminated with the energy generated by the gyroscope. |
|
| It is based on the gyroscope created in 1852 by Léon Foucault to demonstrate the Earth's rotation. |
|

| Principles act as a sort of psychological gyroscope, keeping us in balance. |
|
|
|
| The guidance system is made up of a gyroscope, decoder, jet interceptor as well as an infrared beacon. |
|
| The GonioLight G-TI version, featuring a gyroscope, reaches extreme 1 mil angular accuracy, with a 25-km range. |
|
| A gyroscope is a wheel or disc mounted in such a way that it is free to rotate around an axis as well as to move linearly along the other two axes. |
|
| Tilt the iPad and its internal gyroscope will throw bottles and pocket watches as if obeying gravity. |
|
| These guidance systems consist of a small spinning device called a gyroscope which keeps a constant axis orientation and thus helps to orient the missile. |
|
| Three electrodes in the gyroscope housing can exert electric forces to support the rotor during spin-up, or in case a micrometeorite impacts on the satellite. |
|
| However even in these locations, the gyroscope and speed sensor will provide a substitute means of determining the vehicle's position and the system will be able to continue to track the vehicle's progress along the route. |
|
| Logical work practices and at the same time freedom of motion is guaranteed by 1 gyroscope for the high pressure and 1 additional gyroscope for the foam brush. |
|
| The show was all about movement, with its gyroscope bangles, its pearls set to roll inside a metallic bracelet and its swinging fringes of silver, copper and rose gold, braided to swish from a necklet. |
|
| Gyration, with its unique gyroscope technology, markets a range of remote controls, computer mice and keyboards and future applications of the technology include video games. |
|
| We showed that the inner ear acts like a gyroscope. |
|
| Based on their own breakthrough gyroscope technology, Gyration's products enable intuitive cursor control from a couch or across a room by tracking natural hand motion. |
|
| A gyroscope and electronic compass were used to measure the position. The gyroscope measured the pitch and roll of the helicopter and the electronic compass indicated its heading. |
|
| The gyroscope effect of large centrifugal masses is taken into account. |
|
| In the words of David Riesman, an American sociologist, their minds work like radar, taking in signals from near and far, not like a gyroscope, pivoting on a point. |
|
| A spinning superconductor creates a magnetic field whose direction indicates its axis of rotation and therefore, in this case, that of the gyroscope of which the niobium is a part. |
|
| The data include readings from an on-board gyroscope to establish if the truck is moving in a straight line, turning or stationary and a tachometer, to cross-check the distance covered. |
|
| The eyes are suspended on stalks with heavy crystals on one end, acting like a gyroscope to orient the eyes skyward. |
|
| Type KRRoW 180° wall gyroscope, suitable for mounting to wall or column. |
|
| Earth tides or terrestrial tides affect the entire Earth's mass, which acts similarly to a liquid gyroscope with a very thin crust. |
|
|
|
| Any lack of or unacceptable variations in the supply voltage and an unacceptable fall in the speed of rotation of the gyroscope shall be monitored. |
|
| No top or gyroscope has actually been balanced perfectly enough to guide an astronomical telescope, but they show willing. |
|
| To compensate for the technology's weaknesses it can only determine the truck's position to within a few metres the device compares the GPS data with information from the tachograph and a built-in gyroscope. |
|
| We wanted him there because our conversation needed a gyroscope. |
|
| During the first spacewalk, the crew will also make connections to restore power to a Station gyroscope that has been out of service since a circuit breaker failed in February. |
|
| First the absolute trunk inclination was estimated based on a biomechanics model and information extracted through combination of 3D accelerometer and gyroscope. |
|
| The first automatic pilot for ships was installed in a Danish passenger ship by a German company in 1916, and in that same year a gyroscope was used in the design of the first artificial horizon for aircraft. |
|
| This causes a Coriolis force to act on the rim in such a way as to tilt the gyroscope at right angles to the direction that the external torque would have tilted it. |
|
| During World War II she worked for Sperry Gyroscope as a solderer and later held jobs in banking and retail. |
|
| Sperry Gyroscope in Bracknell produced the guidance systems for Britain's 1960s space rockets. |
|
| Martin was a senior metallurgist with Sperry Gyroscope, New York. |
