This invention relates to gyro-magnetic compasses wherein the magnetic compass is mounted on and serves to control an otherwise free or directional gyroscope. My invention constitutes an improvement in the type of gyro-magnetic compass shown in my prior application, now Patent No. 2,091,964,.....
A ground-breaking example of the early days is the development of the compass, where a magnet orients in the rather weak Earth's magnetic field. Similarly, the incorporation of magnetic media in currently existing technologies for information transfer and storage is one of the most far-reaching...
The present invention relates to a process for compensating the magnetic disturbances influencing the measurements of a device for determining the magnetic heading, mounted on a land vehicle or aircraft, comprising a magnetometer furnishing analog voltages proportional to the components of the disturbed ma...
Magnetic compass, in navigation or surveying, an instrument for determining direction on the surface of Earth by means of a magnetic pointer that aligns itself with Earth’s magnetic field. The magnetic compass is the oldest type of compass and is used i
This invention relates to setting devices for directional gyroscopes, more especially to directional gyroscopes which are controlled from a magnetic compass and are usually known as gyromagnetic compasses or "slave" directional gyroscopes. Although the gyro-magnetic compass has directive power,...收藏...
During the long growing season, fruit is held in a relatively constant position in relation to the Earth’s magnetic field, aligning the liquid particles much like tiny compass needles. This natural balance gives fresh picked fruit its smooth, natural flavor. Effects of magnetic fields on ...
Almost certainly not. Since the invention of the magnetometer in the 1830s, the average intensity of the magnetic field at the Earth's surface has decreased by about ten percent. We know from paleomagnetic records that the intensity of the magnetic field decreases by as much as ninety percent...
A tilt-compensated electronic compass can be realized by calculating rather than measuring Earth's magnetic field component Z in a direction orthogonal to the two measurement axes of a 2-axis magnetic sensor. The orthogonal component Z can be calculated
No. 35826. Convention date, Jan. 21. [Class 97 (ii)] In order substantially to eliminate errors due to the effect of the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field during the initial stages of a turning movement of the supporting aircraft, the movable system of a magnetic compass ...
The embodiments of the invention generally relate to a novel magnet arrangement to further enhance the performance of the array. The new arrangement of magnets (for example, five co
