| It is designed to be difficult to knock over because of gyroscopes that work to keep it upright. |
|
| The compressed air initiates the missile's gyroscopes and is used as the coolant for the infrared detectors. |
|
| They have long been known for their function as flight stabilizers, like gyroscopes on airplanes that prevent excessive roll, pitch or yaw. |
|
| Einstein's theory predicts that such gyroscopes will undergo geodetic precession merely because space-time is curved in the planet's vicinity. |
|
| They use little gyroscopes within the lens system of the camera to steady the image. |
|
| Any changes in a spacecraft's orientation detected by onboard gyroscopes can be used by guidance systems to make adjustments. |
|
| This guidance system reads gyroscopes and accelerometers and sends appropriate commands to attitude control thrusters. |
|
| And they could play a role in hyper-accurate gyroscopes or help etch superfast computer chips. |
|
| The Delphi computer is fed data by sensors and gyroscopes that can sense the slightest tilt in the scooter. |
|
| It's got two wheels, five gyroscopes and hundreds of electrical connections. |
|
| The gyroscopes sense angular motion by measuring the Coriolis effect induced by rotation, using a vibrating MEMS structure. |
|
| According to the original scheme, spacewalking astronauts would have replaced failing batteries, gyroscopes and fine-guidance sensors. |
|
| On 8 September the craft suddenly lost its direction control and it was three minutes before the on-board gyroscopes could regain it. |
|
| The four on-board gyroscopes have now experienced and measured relativistic effects for eight months. |
|
| This week, engineers shut down one of the three on-board gyroscopes, leaving the telescope to operate on only two. |
|
| The spin axes of the on-board gyroscopes should drift minutely if the dragging effect occurs. |
|
| However, in the days of vacuum tubes and mechanical gyroscopes, development could not move along fast enough to get this weapon into combat before the war ended. |
|
| The accelerometers and gyroscopes in an INS measure linear acceleration and angular orientation rates very accurately and with minimum time delay. |
|
| These units incorporated mechanical gyroscopes and while the aircraft were fitted with sextants, it was the INUs that became the primary means of navigation. |
|
| Once Discovery undocks from the station Saturday, NASA hopes to have all four gyroscopes operating simultaneously for the first time in three years. |
|
|
|
| The three gyroscopes normally control the telescope's three rotation axes, and with only two in operation one of these directions will go unmonitored. |
|
| The newly designed system now enables the spacecraft to turn away from the Earth, using precision sun sensors and gyroscopes to navigate its way to geostationary orbit. |
|
| The discoveries may eventually lead to microscopic computers and ultra-precise gyroscopes that could dramatically improve aircraft guidance and spacecraft navigation. |
|
| An unmanned aircraft has no pilot but is controlled remotely or via means such as gyroscopes or other forms of autonomous control. |
|
| The engineers' starting point was MIT's revolutionary guidance system, which included gyroscopes and instruments for measuring changes in direction. |
|
| Gyroscopes create their own force through spinning, thereby resisting the effects of gravity. |
|
| Gyroscopes are mounted disks that spin so that their axes can turn freely and maintain a constant orientation in space. |
