The code could also be entered into a dedicated remote control device that would then control the VCR. The number is generated by an algorithm from the date, time and channel of the programme; as a result, it does not rely on an over-the-air channel to serve as a conduit to ensure the recording is properly timed.
Intermatic Incorporated is an American manufacturer of time switches headquartered in Spring Grove, Illinois. Intermatic was founded in 1891 in Chicago, Illinois as the International Register Company to produce fare registers .
The Intel 8253 PIT was the original timing device used on IBM PC compatibles.It used a 1.193182 MHz clock signal (one third of the color burst frequency used by NTSC, one twelfth of the system clock crystal oscillator, [1] therefore one quarter of the 4.77 MHz CPU clock) and contains three timers.
Harmony 670, a universal remote. A universal remote is a remote control that can be programmed to operate various brands of one or more types of consumer electronics devices. . Low-end universal remotes can only control a set number of devices determined by their manufacturer, while mid- and high-end universal remotes allow the user to program in new control codes to the re

Remote controls send a digital code word to the receiver. If the receiver determines the codeword is acceptable, then the receiver will actuate the relay, unlock the door, or open the barrier. Simple remote control systems use a fixed code word; the code word that opens the gate today will also open the gate tomorrow.
For example, a watchdog timer may be used when running untrusted code in a sandbox, to limit the CPU time available to the code and thus prevent some types of denial-of-service attacks. [2] In real-time operating systems , a watchdog timer may be used to monitor a time-critical task to ensure it completes within its maximum allotted time and ...
Intel C8253 Intel 8253 programmable interval timer. Intel 8254 has the same pinout. The Intel 8253 and 8254 are programmable interval timers (PITs), which perform timing and counting functions using three 16-bit counters. [1] The 825x family was primarily designed for the Intel 8080/8085-processors, but were later used in x86 compatible systems.
