GPS determines the position of the airplane over the ground, and an IMU with three gyroscopes is used to determine its orientation in flight.
So, by measuring the magnetic field around Europa during a fly-by, it ought to be possible to see if the moon has a magnetic field of its own, and if so, to determine its orientation.
A gravimeter figures out the device's tilt angle, and a digital compass determines its orientation.
Each helicopter costs approximately $4,000 and is outfitted with an accelerometer, gyroscope and a magnetometer to determine its orientation and acceleration, and a GPS or two ground-based cameras to determine its location.
Keeping in mind that the driver face database is composed of face examples for five different orientations, the face is passed to the neural network to determine its orientation, specifically for the up and down cases.
This method is similar to the previous case, once the face is continuously located in time; a neural network is used to determine its orientation and to verify the driver's level of distraction.
All three satellites are equipped with a vector field magnetometer (VFM) on a fixed optical bench with three star cameras to determine its orientation, and a low noise absolute scalar magnetometer isolated at the end of a long boom to provide a reliable reference for the vector magnetometer.
The mode of antibody immobilization determines its orientation, and, as a result, its activity in immunoassay can vary.
Here, the position of a neuron within the system of columns is important in determining its orientation selectivity, as suggested in Braitenberg (1985), Braitenberg and Schüz (1998).
For example, recent simulation studies of the auxilin PTEN-like domain have shown that the loops of its C2 domain determine its orientation relative to the membrane and promote PIP clustering around the bound protein.
