Kronos Foods, Inc., is a Chicago -based company which is a foodservice manufacturer of Mediterranean food in the United States and the largest manufacturer of gyros in the world. [ 1][ 2] Kronos Foods is known for being one of the first to produce, standardize, and market gyro cones (an argument exists as to who exactly was the first to "invent ...
Kronos Incorporated, a workforce management software and hardware company; Khronos Group, an American non-profit member-funded industry consortium maintaining the OpenGL standard; Kronos Foods, a manufacturer of gyros; Kronos International , a chemical company and producer of titanium dioxide based in Dallas; Kronos Racing, a Belgian rally team
The name comes from the Greek γύρος (gyros, 'circle' or 'turn').It is a calque of the Turkish döner, from dönmek, also meaning "turn". [7]In Athens and other parts of southern Greece, the skewered meat dish elsewhere called souvlaki is known as kalamaki, while souvlaki is a term used generally for gyros, and similar dishes.
A modern, closed-cabin, pusher-propeller autogyro in flight. An autogyro (from Greek αὐτός and γύρος, "self-turning"), or gyroplane, is a class of rotorcraft that uses an unpowered rotor in free autorotation to develop lift. While similar to a helicopter rotor in appearance, the autogyro's unpowered rotor disc must have air flowing ...
Ring laser gyroscope. A ring laser gyroscope (RLG) consists of a ring laser having two independent counter-propagating resonant modes over the same path; the difference in phase is used to detect rotation. It operates on the principle of the Sagnac effect which shifts the nulls of the internal standing wave pattern in response to angular rotation.
Gyrotheodolite. A Wild GAK gyroscope mounted on a Wild T-16 theodolite. In surveying, a gyrotheodolite (also: surveying gyro) is an instrument composed of a gyrocompass mounted to a theodolite. It is used to determine the orientation of true north. It is the main instrument for orientation in mine surveying [1] and in tunnel engineering, where ...
Vibrating structure gyroscope. A vibrating structure gyroscope (VSG), defined by the IEEE as a Coriolis vibratory gyroscope (CVG), [1] is a gyroscope that uses a vibrating structure to determine the rate of rotation. A vibrating structure gyroscope functions much like the halteres of flies (insects in the order Diptera).
Gyrotonic. Gyrotonic, also known as the Gyrotonic Expansion System, is a system of exercise that was developed by Juliu Horvath in the 1980s. [1][2] It is centered around enhancing spinal movement in three dimensions, which not only focuses on increasing the functional mobility of the spine but also building the strength and flexibility of the ...
