This means that a quartz clock, filter or oscillator will remain accurate.

Further quartz clocks were delivered to the Observatory of Paris in 1955.

This method is however unpractical for consumer quartz clock and wrist watch movements.

The same kind of motor drives battery-powered quartz clocks.

In quartz clocks and watches, it is a quartz crystal.

In 1932, a quartz clock able to measure small weekly variations in the rotation rate of the Earth was developed.

Similarly, since its resonator does not change shape, a quartz clock will remain relatively accurate as the temperature changes.

Many inexpensive quartz clocks and watches use a technique known as inhibition compensation.

Nowadays almost everybody uses a quartz clock.

Quartz clocks and watches as supplied by the manufacturer typically keep time with an error of a few seconds per week, although sometimes more.

Quartz is a component used to make quartz clocks.

This is precisely the same function that is performed by the quartz clock chip at the heart of any modern computing device.

New timing equipment provided by Longines was installed that used a quartz clock to measure to the hundredths of a second.

Both analog and stepped-movement quartz clocks use the Lavet type stepping motor.

Mr. Steinkritz also will convert mechanical clocks into quartz clocks.

An internal quartz clock had started running at thirty million cycles per second when the laser fired, and shut off when the reflection returned.

Furthermore, the accuracy of the quartz clock superseded the principles of the synchronous motor.

You may need to take your timing source from outside the Micro1401, instead of the internal crystal clock.

She glanced at the crystal clock on her desk.

Quartz crystal clocks and the means of making them had been rediscovered, but the antique still worked.

It was expected that I would bring a small gift, and my staff chose a Waterford crystal clock.

The Datascope also has a quartz crystal clock, which can compute the time differences between bearings you have taken with the compass.

I settled for a beautiful Waterford Crystal clock as my leaving present from friends and colleagues throughout the Group.

Eventually, such atomic clocks were indeed built and were shown to be more accurate than even the best crystal clocks.

At a meeting of coaches, front office workers and locker room staff, the 40-year-old skipper gave each of the several dozen in attendance a crystal clock.

Morning sun slanted through half-open blinds, casting neat lines across the desk and stippling it with color around a small crystal clock.

A small secretary's desk topped with a white leather blotter, bronze penholder, a crystal clock and yet a third bowl of potpourri.

By synchronising the right and left earphone with the use of high precision crystal clocks, the two earphones play in unison without being physically connected.

He saw by the pretty crystal clock on the ancient stone mantelhe was amused by such anachronismsthat it was only seconds shy of midnight.

In 1928, Warren Marrison of Bell Telephone Laboratories developed the first quartz crystal clock.

Other new options include the integration of a Rubidium Clock for long-term stability and/or a 10MHz quartz crystal clock.

The division, which accounts for 50 percent of store sales, said crystal clocks from such manufacturers as Waterford, Daum and Orrefors were this year's best sellers.

It has also been observed that its features, such as the famous Times Square Garden with the Crystal clock and fountain features has been revived.

Similarly, the pictures of actual devices cover fundamental ICs such as shift registers, hard disk controllers, crystal clock oscillators etc., and again include audio/text general explanations.

Timing and control All timing of operations in the PCI 260 are under the control of a 10MHz crystal clock source.

Elias Murr, a former Lebanese defense minister and deputy prime minister, gave what sounds like the most interesting present: a "crystal clock in the shape of a horse jumping over an obstacle."

Article, by a key figure in the development of quartz crystal clocks, on the history of timekeeping up to the late 1940s from The Bell System Technical Journal, Vol.

These include period clocks, special regional forms of fancy clocks, alarm clocks, electronic clocks and piezo-electric quartz crystal clocks, this latter type being similar to the goods in issue.

The best crystal clocks are so accurate that they could go a hundred thousand years or so (if they could be made to last so long) without gaining or losing more than a second.

In his workshop he developed his idea for a quartz crystal clock which by using transistors in place of thermionic valves, made possible a much smaller quartz clock than was previously feasible.

Robbins' scientific publications covered a wide field in Geodesy and Photogrammetry, with outstanding contributions to knowledge in Geodetic Astronomy and the design and development of the Chronochord (printing crystal clock).

According to growth lines in fossil corals and highly refined atomic and crystal clocks, we know that the ocean tides are slowing the Earth's rotation by friction of the ocean against the sea floor and continents.
