His letter had suggested we meet at my hotel at noon on Sunday, and I came into the lobby as the clock struck twelve.

The clock you heard strike -- it's really the town clock -- was installed last April by Mrs. Shorter, on her birthday ''.

This was intended to give broader protections for disabled workers and " turn back the clock " on court rulings that Congress deemed too restrictive.

* In that era of carefully counting clock cycles and limited memory, it was inefficient to write speed-dependent programs that ran on a runtime interpreter.

" Analog " indicates something that is mathematically represented by a set of continuous values ; for example, the analog clock uses constantly-moving hands on a physical clock face, where moving the hands directly alters the information that clock is providing.

AMD's older CPUs could simply be set to run at whatever clock speed the user chose on the motherboard, making it trivial to relabel a CPU and sell it as a faster grade than it was originally intended.

Liquor stores are closed on Sundays and must be closed by nine o ' clock every day of the week.

Packet exchange is based on the basic clock, defined by the master, which ticks at 312. 5 µs intervals.

Naga Munchetty, Komla Dumor and Martine Dennis present the BBC World News five o ' clock hour, which is also broadcast on the News Channel and BBC One.

As a result, the subscalar CPU gets " hung up " on instructions which take more than one clock cycle to complete execution.

This design, wherein the CPU's execution resources can operate on only one instruction at a time, can only possibly reach scalar performance ( one instruction per clock ).

The performance or speed of a processor depends on the clock rate ( generally given in multiples of hertz ) and the instructions per clock ( IPC ), which together are the factors for the instructions per second ( IPS ) that the CPU can perform.

Twelve is known as " boxcars " because the spots on the two dice that show 6-6 look like schematic drawings of railroad boxcars ; it is also called " midnight ", referring to twelve o ' clock.

However, his astronomical clock and rotating armillary sphere still relied on the use of flowing water ( i. e. hydraulics ), while European clockworks of the following centuries shed this old method for a more efficient driving power of weights, in addition to the escapement mechanism.

It ended when Stanford requested and Michigan agreed to end it with 8 minutes on the clock.

While the 6x86's integer performance was significantly higher than P5 Pentium's, it's floating point performance was more mediocre — between 2 and 4 times the performance of the 486 FPU per clock cycle ( depending on the operation and precision ).

Similar to the AMD K5, the Cyrix 6x86 was a design far more focused on integer per-clock performance than clock scalability, something that proved to be a strategic mistake.

Therefore, despite being very fast clock by clock, the 6x86 and MII were forced to compete at the low-end of the market as AMD K6 and Intel P6 Pentium II were always ahead on clock speed.

In 1818 he invented and patented a type of mantel clock, known as the lighthouse clock and regarded as the first alarm clock produced in America.

Caffieri also produced gilt-bronze cases for clocks, both mantel clocks and the cartel clocks that combined clock and bracket in one unified design, to be mounted on a wall.

He appears to have modeled his clock from a borrowed pocket watch by carving each piece to scale.

In 2006, USA Today published an article about the regional chains being merged into Macy's, and the piece featured memories from Pittsburghers about the store and the clock: " As girls in their best dresses and Mary Jane shoes, they rode streetcars downtown to the 11-story Kaufmann's department store here.

Several of Burden's other performance pieces were considered somewhat controversial at the time: another " danger piece " was Doomed ( 1975 ), in which Burden lay motionless in a gallery at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago under a 5 ' x 8 ' slanted sheet of glass near a running wall clock.

Forty-five hours and ten minutes later, museum employee Dennis O ' Shea placed a pitcher of water within Burden's reach and Burden rose, smashed the glass, and took a hammer to the clock, thus ending the piece.

Cuckoo clock, a so-called Jagdstück ( Hunt piece ), Black Forest, ca.

From the 1860s until the twenties, and according to the decorative tastes prevailing in each moment, cuckoo clock cases were manufactured following different styles then in vogue such as ; Biedermier ( some models also included a painting of a person or animal with moving eyes ), Neoclassical or Georgian ( certain pieces also displayed a painting ), Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Art Nouveau, etc., becoming a suitable complementary piece for the bourgeois living room.

By 1860, the Bahnhäusle style had started to develop away from its original, “ severe ” graphic form, and evolve, among other designs, toward the well-known case with three-dimensional woodcarvings, like the Jagdstück (" Hunt piece ", design created in Furtwangen in 1861 ), a cuckoo clock with carved oak foliage and hunting motives, such as trophy animals, guns and powder pouches.

Clocker, for clock, galvanic skin response sensor and digital delay system, is a minimalist electronic music piece by Alvin Lucier conceived in 1978, though Lucier felt there did not exist an appropriate digital delay system till 1988: " With this new equipment, the sounds of the delayed clock now matched those of the original, creating clear copies and with them a more convincing illusion of time expanding and contracting.

The following is an example piece of code written in the BASIC syntax, which links a built-in clock that cycles every 1Hz to an LED.
