  2. FMSLogo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FMSLogo

    Simple GIF animations may also be produced with the GIFSAVE command. Jim Muller wrote The Great Logo Adventure, a complete Logo manual using MSWLogo as the demonstration language. FMSLogo evolved from MSWLogo: An Educational Programming Environment, a free, open source implementation of the Logo programming language for Microsoft Windows. It is ...

  3. Gyro gunsight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyro_gunsight

    A gyro gunsight (G.G.S.) is a modification of the non-magnifying reflector sight in which target lead (the amount of aim-off in front of a moving target) and bullet drop are calculated automatically. The first examples were developed in Britain just before the Second World War for use during aerial combat , and more advanced models were common ...

    The US House Committee on Armed Services noted as far back as 1975 on the suitability of the use of reflex sight for the M16 rifle, [28] but the US military did not widely introduce reflector sights until the early 2000s with the Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sight, designated the "M68 Close Combat Optic".

    The lower gyro is torqued to precess in azimuth to drive the azimuth gimbal motors. The upper gyro is caged to the lower gyro in azimuth. The gimbal servo motors position the gimbals to compensate for the original deviation. to provide the voltages for the starting and running of the gyro spin motors.

    The Sperry Horizon, Sperry Gyroscope Co. Brooklyn N.Y.. The company was incorporated on April 14 1910 [2] by Elmer Ambrose Sperry as the Sperry Gyroscope Company, to manufacture navigation equipment—chiefly his own inventions: the marine gyrostabilizer and the gyrocompass—at 40 Flatbush Avenue Extension in Downtown Brooklyn. [3]

  7. Flight management system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_management_system

    The FMS can be summarised as being a dual system consisting of the Flight Management Computer (FMC), CDU and a cross talk bus. The modern FMS was introduced on the Boeing 767, though earlier navigation computers did exist. [1] Now, systems similar to FMS exist on aircraft as small as the Cessna 182. In its evolution an FMS has had many ...

  8. Ring laser gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_laser_gyroscope

    According to the Sagnac effect, rotation induces a small difference between the time it takes light to traverse the ring in the two directions.This introduces a tiny separation between the frequencies of the counter-propagating beams, a motion of the standing wave pattern within the ring, and thus a beat pattern when those two beams interfere outside the ring.

  9. Torpedo Data Computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torpedo_Data_Computer

    The problem of computing the gyro angle setting is a trigonometry problem that is simplified by first considering the calculation of the deflection angle, which ignores torpedo ballistics and parallax. [44] For small gyro angles, θ Gyro ≈ θ Bearing − θ Deflection. A direct application of the law of sines to Figure 3 produces Equation 1.
