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.
Since this initial design, the. performance of the tuning fork. gyroscope and gradually increased. In. 1994, a 500 deg/hr resolution was. achieved. The designs in 1997 resulted. in resolutions of 100 deg/hr.
