What's the difference between gimbal and gyroscope?
Gimbal
Definition:
(n.) Alt. of Gimbals
Example Sentences:
(1) (The characteristic of a Fick gimbal is that the vertical axis is fixed, whereas the horizontal axis moves with the gimbal.)
(2) When the head in space behaves like a Fick gimbal, a horizontal line through the eyes remains parallel to the horizon.
(3) With an HD video camera mounted on a controllable gimbal, the Bebop can stream video and photographs to its pilot’s tablet computer.
(4) Feedback control circuitry is so arranged that any deviation of the head from the desired position leads to actuation of pneumatic cylinders, which apply torques to the manipulator gimbal axes so as to oppose or conteract the incipient head movement.
(5) This twist was similar to that achieved by a Fick gimbal model of rotations in which the horizontal axis is nested within a fixed vertical axis.
(6) This, combined with the fact that the eye is mounted within the head, causes the eye in space surface to resemble that of a Fick gimbal.
(7) With vision, during roll motion, the head was displaced from upright by approximately half the amplitude of the gimbal motion.
(8) By having the eye in space behave like a Fick gimbal, the work done against gravity may be minimized by having the eye contribute more to vertical gaze shifts than does the head.
(9) The twist was always in the same direction, and it was always less than that of a Fick gimbal.
(10) In comparison, with eyes closed relying on vestibular and proprioceptive cues and during pitch stimuli with or without vision, the magnitude of head displacement from upright was approximately equal to that to the gimbal.
(11) Human subjects were fixed in a gimbal with their heads free and were exposed to unpredictable oscillatory movement in pitch and, for comparison roll, about axes aligned with the head.
(12) At its lower end, the manipulator arm is attached to the shoulder pad mounting frame via a gimbal assembly which allows head movement in two planes of tilt (pitch, or forward-and back, and roll, or side-to-side).
Gyroscope
Definition:
(n.) A rotating wheel, mounted in a ring or rings, for illustrating the dynamics of rotating bodies, the composition of rotations, etc. It was devised by Professor W. R. Johnson, in 1832, by whom it was called the rotascope.
(n.) A form of the above apparatus, invented by M. Foucault, mounted so delicately as to render visible the rotation of the earth, through the tendency of the rotating wheel to preserve a constant plane of rotation, independently of the earth's motion.
Example Sentences:
(1) The presented X-ray gyroscope enables any member of the dental staff authorized to take radiograms to check the exposure time of the X-ray examination unit for its accuracy in a simple manner.
(2) In May 2013, scientists discovered that one of the gyroscopic wheels – known as "reaction wheels" – that kept the probe pointing in the right direction had stopped working and, try as they might, Nasa engineers could not restart it.
(3) 4 Whirled in motion The iPhone 5's innards also include an M7 "motion coprocessor" designed to collect data from its accelerometer, gyroscope and compass.
(4) As well as GPS sensors, these contain accelerometers, magnetometers and gyroscopes, to pick up extra information on impacts, jumps, changes of direction, acceleration and deceleration.
(5) Gyroscopic motion of adsorbed magnetoelectric dipoles is proposed as a possible physical mechanism accounting for the experimental observations.
(6) The Onewheel is essentially a single-wheeled Segway, which self-balances a wooden board around its rubber tyre using gyroscopes and accelerometers to produce a smooth ride.
(7) It works by tracking the speed and position of the user through gyroscopes and accelerometers built into the collar.
(8) Work in "clean rooms," where gyroscopes were assembled, was associated with the brain cancer excess but did not fully account for it.
(9) It contains an accelerometer and gyroscope and communicates with the system wirelessly.
(10) The next generation of smartwatches will employ additional technology including the accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, compass, heart-rate monitor, altimeter and an ambient light sensor, to name a few.
(11) Standing about 76cm tall, 91cm long and weighing 109kg, BigDog is an autonomous system powered by an engine and controlled by on-board computer system processing a series of sensors that monitor joint position, joint force, ground contact, ground load, a gyroscope, LIDAR and a stereo vision system.
(12) Essentially, Android will now queue up sensory input to be processed in batches, which means that the central processor doesn’t need to be in a high-power state all the time to accept and process data from the phone’s sensors like the GPS, accelerometers and gyroscopes.
(13) In addition, a design experience that utilises the device capabilities, such as touch, gyroscope, and accelerometer, is becoming increasingly important in making the interaction with health content that much more immersive.
(14) In Samsung’s system the Note 4 will provide the sensors, including a compass, accelerometer and gyroscope for detecting head moment to produce the virtual reality effect.
(15) The latest comes from a California-based company, Hoverboard Technologies, which plans to release a device on 17 September that uses a central wheel that acts like a gyroscope to maintain balance, control direction and create a “floating feeling” for users.
(16) "Asked to change, the families have no lived experience of what this might feel like and, worse still, they know that these commands are accompanied by the dead weight of expectation that they can't change… The system is a costly gyroscope that spins around the families… [who are] stuck exactly where they are."
(17) It includes a gyroscope and a faster processor similar to that in the iPad.
(18) Low-power gyroscopes, which sense the angle at which a phone is being held, and accelerometers, which measure its movement, will help the phone guess what its user wants to do next.
(19) Right from the early days, there's always been a carnivalesque side to rave culture, from the free party sound systems with names like Circus Warp to the commercial UK raves with their bouncy castles, gyroscope rides, and merry-go-rounds.
