  • Caging system
    Patent number: 5445040
    Abstract: A caging system for a magnetized rotor of a gyro. A capacitive detector dcts amounts of linear deflection of the rotor, from an upright position, over time. A computer calculates the linear deflection velocity of the rotor. A power supply sends an amount of current to an electromagnetic coil dependent on the amount of linear deflection velocity of the rotor. An electromagnetic field from the electromagnetic coil moves the rotor to an upright position.
