Attitude Sensor. The TSS POS/MV(Position and Orientation Systems for Marine Vessels) is an inertial navigation system delivering full 6 degree-of-freedom position and orientation systems for ships. It combines data from an inertial unit made up of three acceleration meters and three gyrolasers(fibre optic gyroscopes) and two GPS antennas. It delivers the following data with a sampling frequency of 1-200 Hz : roll and pitch(accurate to 0. 02°) ;heave(accurate to 5% amplitude) ;true heading(accurate to 0. 1°). 1, record 3, English, - attitude%20sensor

Centrales d'attitude. La centrale TSS POS/MV (Position and Orientation Systems for Marine Vessels) désigne un système de navigation inertielle qui procure des solutions d'orientation et de positionnement à six degrés de liberté pour les navires. Elle combine les informations provenant d'une centrale inertielle constituée de trois accéléromètres et trois gyrolasers (gyroscopes à fibres optiques) et de deux antennes GPS. Elle délivre avec une fréquence d'échantillonnage 1-200 Hz les informations suivantes : roulis et tangage (précision 0.02°); pilonnement (précision 5 % de l'amplitude); cap (précision 0.1°). 6, record 3, French, - centrale%20d%27attitude

RFID readers, also called interrogators, are used to recognize the presence of nearby RFID tags. An RFID reader transmits RF [radio frequency] energy through one or more antennas. An antenna in a nearby tag picks up the energy, and the tag then converts it into electrical energy via induction. This electrical energy is sufficient to power the semiconductor chip attached to the tag antenna, which stores the tag's identity. The tag then sends the identity back to the reader by raising and lowering the resistance of the antenna in a kind of Morse code. 6, record 4, English, - interrogator
