In this letter we work out the secular precession of the spin of a gyroscope in geodesic motion around a central mass in the framework of the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati multidimensional gravity model. Such an effect, which depends on the mass of the central body and on the orbit radius of the gyroscope, contrary to the precessions of the orbital elements of the orbit of a test body, is far too sma...

A single chip integration accelerometer is designed in this paper. By means of a silicon mass, it integrated the measurement of the two kinds of the inertial parameter on a single chip. The paper analyzed the measurement theory of the accelerometer gyroscope. And then some experiment to test the characteristics of the accelerometer gyroscope is introduced. The results show that this design can ...

We describe a fiber-optic gyroscope based on the Sagnac effect, realized on a multiplexed telecom fiber network. Our loop encloses an area of 20 km² and coexists with Internet data traffic. This Sagnac interferometer is capable of detecting signals that are larger than 10(-8) (rad/s)/√Hz, thus approaching ring laser gyroscopes without using a narrow-linewidth laser or sophisticated optics. The ...

A novel kind of fiber-optic gyroscope based on Rayleigh backscattering in a fiber-ring resonator is presented in this letter. The information on the rotation rate is obtained from the composed response of the fiber ring to an optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) instrument. The developed model based on the coherence properties of the Rayleigh scattering yields to a polarization-insensitive ...

gyroscopes are used as rotation rate sensors. conventional gyroscopes are heavy and bulky, which creates important problems regarding their usage in different applications. micro-gyroscopes have solved these problems due to their small size. the beam micro-gyroscope is one of the popular types of inertial sensors. their small dimensions and low energy consumption are key reasons for their popul...

Abstract Fiber Optic Gyroscope is an angular velocity sensitive device based on Sagnac effect. Super Luminescent Diode (SLD) a widely used light source in fiber optic gyroscope, and its characteristics will directly affect the overall performance of gyroscope. In this paper, working mechanism SLD studied, photoelectric influence temperature driving current center wavelength are analyzed. Accord...

commercial detergents, in spite of their various names and marks, are used to remove foreign matter (dirt) from substrate. following removal of dirt from the surface, it is necessary to prevent redeposition, so the detergent must have supending power. in this experimental work, a simple method has been developed to evaluate the cleaning power of commercial detergents. the method, showing the ch...

We investigate the connection between group velocity and rotation sensitivity in a number of resonant gyroscope designs. Two key comparisons are made. First, we compare two conventional sensors, namely a resonant fiber optic gyroscope (RFOG) and an interferometric fiber optic gyroscope (FOG). Second, we compare the RFOG to several recently proposed coupled-resonator optical waveguide (CROW) gyr...

This paper describes the structural and thermal modeling of a Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) z-axis angular gyroscope. The gyroscope consists of a oscillating proof mass supported by a suspension made up of six concentric interconnected rings rigidly attached to an anchored frame. The device is capable of measuring angular displacement through precession of the proof mass line of oscill...

The orientation of a satellite in space described relative to some other object or system is known as the attitude of the satellite. The attitude may be changing with time. To be able to control the attitude of the satellite, it must be equipped with actuators that can produce the required torque. Control Moment Gyroscope is a space craft control actuator which acts as torque amplifier. It is s...
