Airplanes, submarines and even automobiles of tomorrow may be equipped with arrays of inexpensive high-performance micro-mechanical gyroscopes for navigation and other purposes. The proprietary system ...

A gyroscope is a mechanical device that consists of a spinning wheel or disk mounted on a set of rotating axes. A gyroscope demonstrates the principle of angular momentum and maintains the orientation ...

Abstract—(MEMS) Microelectromechanical systemsin consumer electronics are growing faster each year, with increasing demands from the mobile market, which is dominating the growth for this emerging ...

There are two kinds of gyroscopes in widespread use for navigation and control: optical ones, which are extremely sensitive but also expensive, and microelectromechanical (MEMS) ones, which are ...

A team of Chinese scientists has reportedly developed a new fibre-optic gyroscope that is stable across a wide range of temperatures. The development could prove crucial for military, deep-sea, or ...

In a worst-case scenario, gyroscope failure could render the Landsat 7 Earth observation spacecraft useless by the end of 2007. While maintaining that the probability of such a catastrophe is unlikely ...

It look like something Doc Brown would be working on in his garage, but it is absolutely one of the most essential and sensitive technologies found on many military and some civilian aircraft today: ...

Mechanical Design Labs has created and launched a unique version of the traditional gyroscope, to provide a distraction or focus tool on your desk while studying, working or when you need a little ...
