For a three-axis system, three triangles in mutually perpendicular planes may be used. For navigational purposes, the output of the laser gyroscope may be integrated to determine the heading of an aircraft. Laser-based navigation systems have been in use on commercial and military aircraft since the early 1980s. 

BeryUium is important as a sensor support material in advanced fire-control and navigation systems for military heflcopters and fighter aircraft utilizing the low weight and high stiffness of the material to isolate instmmentation from vibration. It is also used for scanning mirrors in tank fire-control systems.

Mazda and others have been working on advanced safety vehicles with monitor screens to show rear and side views, voice-interactive navigation systems and collision avoidance technology. The Ford 24.7 concept car had a computer console in the dashboard with Internet access that is voice-activated.

Other improvements in tanker design have included more precise navigation systems that are customized to tile vessel and the coarse of travel that it usually follows. In a single video readout are shown the ship s location and course with respect to shoreline, bottom contours, buoys, markers, and other ships. With another system, which includes radar reflectors located along the shoreline, the ship location can be determined...

He looked from the starmap to the glittering lake outside, thinking it through. Wherever the mistress of the house had gone, he had to assume the navigation system retained that setting. So in theory he could go after her and demand to be returned to his home time. Where he could present the locket to Razum Kinzhal, mission accomplished. Mad as it sounded, it was a safer bet than another transit with the belt, especially from God knew where.

Smaller fuel cells (1 kW and lower) may be used as portable power as well as back-up power (uninterruptible power supply) or as battery chargers. Small fuel cells are also being developed as battery replacement which would enable longer operation time for consumer electronics (such as laptop computers, cell phones, cameras, and music players). There is a wide array of possible fuel cell applications in military battery chargers, telecommunications, navigation systems, soldier power, computers, various power tools,... 

In the summer of 1995, the Panamanian cruise ship Royal Majesty ran aground off the coast of Nantucket Island. The ship drifted off course because its satellite-based navigational system silently failed, and the crew did not monitor other sources of information that would have warned them they were in danger. Luckily, no one was hurt, but the mistake cost Majesty Cruise Lines 7 million in damages and lost revenue (Azar, 1998). Similar circumstances can occur in today s highly automated pharmacy. Employees can be become complacent, and the resulting mistakes in both patient and pharmacy safety and security can be catastrophic. 

An important attraction of all of these fuel cell systems, both as main vehicle power systems and as APUs, is their ability to support the new wave of vehicle electronics that is being introduced. New or planned electronic gadgetry on vehicles includes navigation systems extensive on-board communications voice-actuated controls exterior alternating current (ac) power supplies computer-controlled, power-... 

The fabrication costs of VFDs are also relatively low. They are rugged with long operating lifetimes. Therefore, small VFDs have been manufactured in large volume for several decades for a variety of applications, e.g. as part of car dashboards or orientation and navigation systems.
