(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).
Timbal
Definition:
(n.) A kettledrum. See Tymbal.
Example Sentences:
(1) There is anatomical evidence for a possible neuronal coupling between the bilaterally symmetrical large timbal motor neurons.
(2) In addition, a dorsal motor neuropile is outlined by arborizations of the timbal motor neuron.
(3) Five models predicting shivering thermogenesis on the basis of steady state skin and core temperature were evaluated: Hayward et al., Stolwijk and Hardy,; Nadel et al.,; Timbal et al., and Brown and Brengelmann, using the empirical data derived from a cold water immersion study by Morrison et al.
(4) This neuron is one of several efferent cell types associated with the auditory nerve, and there is an indication that several efferent fibers innervate the timbal muscle.
(5) Halfway through the set, Prince's former drummer Sheila E arrives to add timbales to the sturdy beats supplied by the impressive Cora Coleman Dunham.
