Novel Navigational Tool
KVH Industries, Inc. recently introduced E*Core 1000, the company's latest development for streamlined, low-cost, fiber optic gyros (FOGs), or gyroscopes. E*Core 1000 minimizes the use of expensive optical and electronic components necessary for constructing optical gyros and reduces the number of steps necessary to assemble optical circuits. The low noise and high bandwidth capabilities of the product are essential to navigation, rotation sensing, robotics, automated guided vehicles, and stabilization applications. E*Core FOGs are available with either digital or analog output, have no moving parts to wear out, and are insensitive to vibration and linear acceleration. For additional information, visit www.kvh.com or call (401) 847-3327.
