Tiny gyroscopes aid first responders

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Tiny gyroscopes aid first responders

Professor Farrokh Ayazi has developed tiny gyroscopes that use MEMS technology to track firefighters or other first responders in covered areas where GPS signals are stymied -- in this case, the Krog Street Tunnel, an Atlanta landmark decorated by local artists. (Photo:Rob Felt)
