  •  
    Time and Attendance Systems - (43 companies)
    ...badge systems are electronic time clocks that require employees to swipe an identifying badge instead of entering a numeric identifier. They may provide TCP/IP connectivity for a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN), and export data...
  • IC Clocks-Image
    IC Clocks - (197 companies)
    IC clocks are semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) that are designed to keep time. IC clocks are important components in virtually all electronic components. They maintain synchronization and timing control in: Telecommunications applications...
  • Network Clock Sources-Image
    Network Clock Sources - (20 companies)
    Network clock sources are timing devices that use a signal from an atomic clock or other external reference source to set and maintain a central time for all of the elements in a network. They minimize the number of external time...
  • Time and Frequency Standards-Image
    Time and Frequency Standards - (33 companies)
    ...that are periodically updated to the national standard or atomic clock through a GPS signal. NIST offers a remote calibration service (TMAS - Time Measurement and Analysis Service) to help laboratories around the country or world maintain an accurate local time...
  • Time Servers-Image
    Time Servers - (19 companies)
    ...for time servers. Network time protocol (NTP) is an Internet-standard that enables client computers to synchronize their times with master clocks at the U.S. Naval Observatory. NTP runs as a client program and sends periodic time requests to one...
  •  
    Time Delay Relays - (287 companies)
    Time delay relays and solid state timers use solid state electronic devices to provide a time delay. They may have displays, pots or other means of operator interface. They may also have electromechanical or solid state outputs. The number of time...
  •  
    Elapsed Time Indicators (ETIs) - (59 companies)
    Elapsed time indicators (also known as ETIs, elapsed time meters, and hour meters) indicate, monitor, and record durations of time. The most common ETI is the hour meter, which records elapsed time in hours. Elapsed time indicators (ETIs) monitor...
  •  
    Time Division Multiplexers (TDM) - (13 companies)
    ...in choosing time division multiplexers is the selection of the transfer mode that will be used. Synchronous transfer mode is a communications mode in which data signals are sent at precise intervals that are regulated by a system clock. Additional start...
  •  
    Time of Flight Optical Sensors - (67 companies)
    Time of flight optical sensors determine displacement and distance by measuring the time it takes light to travel from the instrument to a target and back. The technology is used in most radar, laser, and active acoustic devices. Types of Time...
  •  
    Optical Time Domain Reflectometers (OTDR) - (104 companies)
    Optical time domain reflectometers (OTDR) measure the elapsed time and intensity of light reflected along an optical fiber. They are useful tools for locating problems in an optical network as they can compute the distance to breaks or attenuation...

  • TIME IN GEODETIC ASTRONOMY
    UTO is observed using the PZT to relate LM ST ( Local Mean Sidereal Time ) to clock time, which is nominally' UT2.
  • MMT Pointing And Tracking
    Using current time read from a WWV- synchronized clock to calculate local sidereal time , hour angle (HA) is calculated from LST and the RA of the required object.
  • Zenith telescope with a mirror micrometer
    Here, the hour angle of the star is t = T + k - ~, where k is the clock correction for local sidereal time and ~ is the right ascension of the star.
  • From the Transits of Venus to the Birth of Experimental Psychology
    For stars whose positions were already well known, their time of meridian passage allowed the determina- tion of the local sidereal time ; the observatory clocks then could be set accordingly.
  • THE GEODETIC EVIDENCE CONCERNING WEGENER'S HYPOTHESIS
    Using a Bamberg broken-telescope transit, self-recording chronograph and an adaptation of gravity pendulums as precision clocks , comparisons of local sidereal time between the places shown gave the following maximum ranges in the accepted daily values determined between 8th October and …
  • Reckoning Time, Longitude And The History Of The Earth's Rotation, Using The Moon
    This method presents the advantages of simplicity; it is sufficient, at the beginning or ending of the eclipse to read a clock kept at the local sidereal time .
  • Developing improved servos for the multiple mirror telescope
    In addition, the VME computer also calculates alt- az and rotator positions based on the LST ( local sidereal time ) acquired from a GPS clock and the catalog coordinates for the object to be observed.
  • Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers
    … interested in positional astronomy as well as statistical astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology, conducting research on solar eclipses, our own Galaxy, the galactic nebulae and the external galaxies, the synchronization of clocks at mean local time and mean sidereal time, problems of photographic …
  • Essential Astrophysics
    A terrestrial clock is equal to the local sidereal time only at midnight of the Autumnal Equinox, about Sep- tember 23, and thereafter the local sidereal time gains 2 h on the terrestrial clock for each succeeding month.
  • THE ADMIRALTY SEMI-GRAPHIC METHOD OF HARMONIC TIDAL ANALYSIS (Over a Period of One Month)
    In case' the clock happens to keep L.S.T., its error is usually determined by comparing the clock times of observations against the local sidereal times as deduced from the computed H.A.'s of the observed stars.
