Digital clock

The other necessary instrumental component for controlled-current coulometry is an accurate clock for measuring the electrolysis time, fe, and a switch for starting and stopping the electrolysis. Analog clocks can read time to the nearest +0.01 s, but the need to frequently stop and start the electrolysis near the end point leads to a net uncertainty of +0.1 s. Digital clocks provide a more accurate measurement of time, with errors of+1 ms being possible. The switch must control the flow of current and the clock, so that an accurate determination of the electrolysis time is possible. 

Other timing switch gear works with electronic digital clocks. The 1-s time interval derived from the mains frequency is counted in an integrating counter. The... 

Every day of our lives we run across LCs. They are commonly found in computer monitors, digital clocks, television screens, and other read-out devices. 

The Digital Clock part will produce the specified frequency with a 50% duty cycle (the time high equals the time low). 

We must now specify a name for the stimulus and select the waveform. For the Lite version only a sinusoid is available for analog sources and only a 1-bit clock waveform is available for digital sources. Name the source CLK and specify a Digital Clock as the waveform ... 

We want the waveform name to be PHI 2 and the type to be a Digital Clock. Fill in the dialog box as shown and then click the OK button ...

Aluminium electrolytic capacitors are exploited in a range of applications and their relatively low cost makes them attractive for printed circuits for car radios, stereo equipment, pocket calculators, digital clocks, etc. Also, the very high value capacitors are used in large photo-flash equipment and for voltage smoothing. 

LED stands for light emitting diode. These devices are the lighted numerals typically seen on digital clocks. 

The hands of analogue and digital clocks rotate in two fundamentally different ways, characterized by continuous and discrete symmetry groups respectively. The continuous rotation during a complete cycle of 27t is isomorphic with translations on the real line and has an infinite number of equivalent positions. The moving pointer touches all of these points during... 

The known symmetries that occur in the physical world can be described in terms of symmetry groups which in principle are all of the same type as those represented by either the analogue or digital clock, also in higherdimensional space. The most commonly encountered symmetries are discussed below.

Timing. An accurate, real-time digital clock is used for timing all events. At the heart of the digital clock is a crystal whose output is used to derive the minute, hour and day signals. From these, the microprocessor obtains the months and years. 

Protection against loss of data due to power failure. The microprocessor and digital clock are provided with reserve power supplies, which ensures that, if the normal mains supply should fail, the timing continues uninterrupted and there is no loss of data from the RAM. After restoration of the normal supply following a power failure, the time, date and stored data are recorded by the output equipment and normal automatic operation is resumed. Recharging of the reserve power-pack also takes place when the operation from the mains supply is restored. No reserve supply is required by the PROM, whose memory contents are unaffected by disturbances to the mains. 

In addition to the precautions described, status lights are needed on the control panel to determine which coke drum is being cooled, and whether steam or water is being added. A digital clock... 

Figure 23.23 illustrates the most important experimental interface function, the generation of a stable time base. The time-base generator, or digital clock, is generally a combination of two elements (1) a crystal-controlled, stable, fixed-frequency oscillator that emits a pulse train of very accurately known frequency, and (2) a... 

Use of an external clock for pacing the digitizing rate. With the internal digitizing clock disabled, the digitizer will be paced at a rate defined by the operator. 

This battery system has existed for over 100 years and still is a major battery particularly in the consumer market. It is still widely used for flashlights and portable radios as well as low drain devices such as digital clocks. It is widely available all over the world in most standard cell sizes. It has been supplanted in many consumer...

CDT s technology may also be used in reverse to act as a photovoltaic cell and CDT has filed several patents in this area. Early products include digital clocks powered by CDT s polymer solar cells. The company is developing the technology, based on work at Cambridge University s Cavendish Laboratory. 

Velocity control is based on utilizing two transducers to calculate the ram velocity. Aposition transducer, such as a rectilinear potentiometer measures the ram position while a digital clock based on an oscillating quartz crystal keeps the interval time and the microprocessor calculates velocity as distance divided by time. The calculated velocity is compared against the servo input velocity to generate an error signal on which the controller acts to make a correction.
