PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Sometimes seemingly simple toys have some pretty cool science packed into them. You may remember when we showed you all the scientific processes that made the thirsty bird toy ...
MEMS gyroscopes are self-contained rotation sensors that can be integrated with linear accelerometers to make single-chip inertial measurement units (IMUs) 1–3. Their small size and low cost have made ...
Traditionally, gyroscopes were mechanical devicesthat measured the angular rate of rotation. Onecommon use of gyroscopes has been in navigationsystems to provide heading estimation.Installing these ...
The modern smartphone is only possible because of sensors. Their svelte form factor conceals accelerometers, magnetometers, temperature sensors, a GPS unit, and gyroscopes. They all consume volume and ...
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 ...
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 small, inexpensive and highly accurate gyroscope could help drones and autonomous cars stay on track without a GPS signal. A small, inexpensive and highly accurate gyroscope, developed at the ...
Analog Devices has unveiled an iMEMs gyroscope that it claims provides unmatched shock and vibration immunity for automotive applications. The ADXRS800 features a patented differential quad beam ...
