  2. Maximum time interval error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_time_interval_error

    This distance varies as the window moves, being maximal for some window position. This maximal distance is known as MTIE for the given observation interval. Plotting MTIE vs. different observation interval duration gives a chart useful for characterizing the stability of the clock.

  3. Clock synchronization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_synchronization

    Clock synchronization is a topic in computer science and engineering that aims to coordinate otherwise independent clocks. Even when initially set accurately, real clocks will differ after some amount of time due to clock drift, caused by clocks counting time at slightly different rates. There are several problems that occur as a result of ...

    The first version of Microsoft Schedule+ as bundled with version 3.0 of the Microsoft Mail email client will refuse to work [needs update] with years greater than 2020 or beyond, due to the fact that the program was designed to operate within a 100-year time window ranging from 1920 to 2019. As a result, the date can only be set as high as 31 ...

    The possibility of a single-event upset is suggested by the difference in votes being equivalent to a power of two, 2 12. [5] On October 7, 2008, Qantas Flight 72 at 37,000 feet, one of the plane's three air data inertial reference units had a failure, causing incorrect data to be sent to the plane's flight control systems. This caused pitch ...

  6. Real-time clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_clock

    A real-time clock (RTC) is an electronic device (most often in the form of an integrated circuit) that measures the passage of time. Although the term often refers to the devices in personal computers , servers and embedded systems , RTCs are present in almost any electronic device which needs to keep accurate time of day .

  7. Clock recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_recovery

    Clock recovery is very closely related to the problem of carrier recovery, which is the process of re-creating a phase-locked version of the carrier when a suppressed carrier modulation scheme is used. These problems were first addressed in a 1956 paper, which introduced a clock-recovery method now known as the Costas loop. [3]

  8. Clock drift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_drift

    Clock drift refers to several related phenomena where a clock does not run at exactly the same rate as a reference clock. That is, after some time the clock "drifts apart" or gradually desynchronizes from the other clock. All clocks are subject to drift, causing eventual divergence unless resynchronized.

  9. Sash window - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sash_window

    A double-hung window where the upper sash is smaller (shorter) than the lower is termed a cottage window. [citation needed] A single-hung window has two sashes, but normally the top sash is fixed and only the bottom sash slides. Triple- and quadruple-hung windows are used for tall openings, common in New England churches.
