Rate gyroscopes provide a means for measuring angular rate about a particular axis and are traditionally used in a variety of high accuracy control and guidance systems in aircraft, missiles and ships. The conventional rate gyro, based on a high speed rotor, is a mature but relatively complex, delicate and expensive product. For these reasons and the increasing market for less expensive devices, a great deal of research effort has been invested into the development of a rate gyro with a vibrating sensitive element, which would eliminate the need for ball bearing suspensions and hence reduce the mechanical complexity and cost whilst greatly increasing life and robustness. The principle of operation of these devices is based on the coriolis force, which couples together two degenerate modes of vibration of the sensitive element when the sensor rotates. 1, record 5, English, - conventional%20rate%20gyro

The ISFET(Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor) methodoly for ion measurements is developed on the basis of the MOSFET(Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistor). The first attempts to use the ISFET as pH sensor were made already in 1970. The basic principle underlying the MOSFET is the control of a current flowing between two semiconductor electrodes. Drain and source are placed on the same element, with a third electrode, the gate, between them. 3, record 6, English, - ion%2Dsensitive%20field%20effect%20transistor

There are basically three types of pilot burners : 1) the millivolt; 2) the bi metal; and 3) the liquid filled.... The bimetal pilot is named so because of the sensing element. The sensing element is made of two dissimilar metals welded together so that they become one piece. The two metals have different expansion rates and this causes the two metals to bend when heated. As the bimetal element is heated by the pilot flame, a movable contact is pushed toward a stationary contact. When these contacts touch, an electrical circuit is completed through them. This control is usually employed to operate in the control, or low voltage, circuit. 1, record 7, English, - bimetal%20pilot
