The restrained gyro-stabilized platform with reasonable response characteristics operates with an approximate equation of motion, neglecting transient effects, as follows: Af where U is a torque applied about the output axis of the controlling gyro.

In motion picture terminology, the term tracking shot may refer to a shot in which the camera is mounted on a camera dolly, a wheeled platform that is pushed on rails while the picture is being taken ; in this case the shot is also known as a dolly shot or trucking shot.

Since external torque is minimized by mounting the device in gimbals, its orientation remains nearly fixed, regardless of any motion of the platform on which it is mounted.

His design had a pneumatic motion platform driven by inflatable bellows which provided pitch and roll cues.

A generic replica cockpit with working instruments was mounted on the motion platform.

An example was the simulator for the Comet 4, which had a three-axis motion platform on which the forward section of a Comet fuselage was mounted.

From about 1977, aircraft simulators for Commercial Air Transport ( CAT ) aircraft were designed with ancillaries such as Instructor Operating Stations ( IOS ), computers, etc., being placed on the motion platform along with the replica cockpit, rather than being located off the motion platform.

All FFS require outside-world ( OTW ) visual systems and a motion platform.

This is typically accomplished by placing a replica cockpit and visual system on a motion platform.

A six degrees-of-freedom ( DOF ) motion platform using six jacks is the modern standard, and is required for the so-called Level D flight simulator standard of civil aviation regulatory authorities such as FAA in the USA and EASA in Europe.

* FAA FFS Level C-Requires a motion platform with all six degrees of freedom.

The motion platform must have all six degrees of freedom, and the visual system must have an outside-world horizontal field of view of at least 150 degrees, with a Collimated ( distant focus ) display.

When set in motion on a stepped platform such as a stairway, a helical spring transfers energy along its length in a longitudinal wave.

C-QUAM is not perfect, however, in large part because pre-AMAX it exhibited platform motion, with the audio " center " rocking back and forth as if changing the balance knob.

Eventually, with the technological advances of the industrial revolution, bevel gears and offset cranks were installed on these platform carousels, thus giving the animals their well-known up and down motion as they traveled around the centre pole.

Because the motions are produced by a combination of movements of several of the jacks, such a device is sometimes called a synergistic motion platform, due to the synergy ( mutual interaction ) between the way that the jacks are programmed.

Another alternative is using a 6DOF ( Degrees of freedom ) motion platform with an integrated omni-directional treadmill with high resolution optical motion capture to achieve the same effect.

The games feature an octagonal platform with motion detecting sensors above it.

Transportable relative gravimeters also exist ; they employ an extremely stable inertial platform to compensate for the masking effects of motion and vibration, a difficult engineering feat.

In response, the industry allowed the discovery of the motion picture as a form of fiction and thus gave the movies the essential form they have had to this day.

Since the focus of his book was calculation, Bede gave instructions for computing the date of Easter and the related time of the Easter Full Moon, for calculating the motion of the Sun and Moon through the zodiac, and for many other calculations related to the calendar.

Southern California was also chosen because of its beautiful year-round weather and varied countryside ; its topography, semi-arid climate and widespread irrigation gave its landscapes the ability to offer motion picture shooting scenes set in deserts, jungles and great mountains.

Sega started off licensing and producing primarily " full motion video " games similar to earlier Laserdisc games, that were initially praised by reviewers ( for example: Gamepro's " SWAT PRO " magazine initially gave Sewer Shark a perfect score, then later re-reviewed it with a much lower score as their feelings toward the system changed )

Also, statistical thermodynamics, or statistical mechanics, gave explanations of macroscopic thermodynamics by statistical predictions of the collective motion of particles based on the mechanics of their microscopic behavior.

Edmond Halley was the first to suggest, in 1695, that the mean motion of the Moon was apparently getting faster, by comparison with ancient eclipse observations, but he gave no data.

She continued to gain experience with minor television appearances, and after she auditioned unsuccessfully for the role of Liesl in the film version of The Sound of Music, Ransohoff gave Tate walk-on roles in two motion pictures in which he was producer: The Americanization of Emily and The Sandpiper.

In late 1965, Ransohoff finally gave Tate her first major role in a motion picture in the film Eye of the Devil, co-starring David Niven, Deborah Kerr, Donald Pleasence, and David Hemmings.

It gave the camera a new dominion, a new freedom ... It influenced the future of motion picture photography ... all over the world, and without suggesting any revolution in method, without storming critical opinion as Caligari had done, it turned technical attention towards experiment, and stimulated ... a new kind of camera-thinking with a definite narrative end.

Newton also acknowledged to Halley that his correspondence with Hooke in 1679-80 had reawakened his dormant interest in astronomical matters, but that did not mean, according to Newton, that Hooke had told Newton anything new or original: " yet am I not beholden to him for any light into that business but only for the diversion he gave me from my other studies to think on these things & for his dogmaticalness in writing as if he had found the motion in the Ellipsis, which inclined me to try it ...".

After his work at the University of Pennsylvania, Muybridge travelled widely and gave numerous lectures and demonstrations of his still photography and primitive motion picture sequences.

Most previous designs had the cylinders positioned vertically, which gave the engines an uneven swaying motion as they progressed along the track.

On June 9, 1922, he gave the first reported U. S. demonstration of a sound-on-film motion picture to members of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers.

The heliocentric theory was successfully revived nearly 1800 years later by Copernicus, after which Johannes Kepler and Isaac Newton gave the theoretical explanation based on laws of physics, namely Kepler's laws for the motion of planets and Newton's laws on gravitational attraction and dynamics.

Plato in his dialogue The Statesman tells a " famous tale " that " the sun and the stars once rose in the west, and set in the east, and that the god reversed their motion, and gave them that which they now have as a testimony to the right of Atreus.

The motion system in the 1929 Link Trainer design gave movements in pitch, roll and yaw, but the payload ( weight of the replica cockpit ) was limited.

Mario's ability to jog in eight directions and jump up or down in three – quarter perspective gave him a ( comparatively ) large range of motion.

In 1962 he gave up writing for motion pictures when he became director of the Opéra National de Paris and then chairman of SACEM, the French Performing Rights Society.

As a result of a motion brought forward by Sir Edward Birkbeck, a Royal Commission was established to look at the issue of ' electrical communication ' and gave its first Report in 1892 ; the East Goodwin lightvessel was used during one of Guglielmo Marconi's early experiments in radio transmission in 1896.

Pyrokinesis, derived from the Greek words ( pûr, meaning " fire, lightning ") and ( kínesis, meaning " motion "), was the name coined by horror novelist Stephen King for the ability to create or to control fire with the mind that he gave to the protagonist Charlie McGee in Firestarter.

Abbot Downing Company employed leather strap braces under their stagecoaches which gave a swinging motion instead of the jolting up and down of a spring suspension.

On February 25, 1888, in Orange, New Jersey, Muybridge gave a lecture that may have included a demonstration of his zoopraxiscope, a device that projected sequential images drawn around the edge of a glass disc, producing the illusion of motion.
