Neuronal signaling. To support the general function of the nervous system, neurons have evolved unique capabilities for intracellular signaling (communication within the cell) and intercellular signaling (communication between cells).
Because of this, gyroscopes are useful for measuring or maintaining orientation. Invention History. The gyroscope was invented in 1852 by the French experimental physicist Leon Foucault (1819-1868) as part of a two-pronged investigation of the rotation of the earth.
In 1908 gyroscopic compass was invented, which kept the compass pointing not to the magnetic north but to the north of real earth. The market has variety of compasses suiting the specific requirement of the individual. The variety of compasses include field compass, map navigation compass, mirror compass etc.
