A clockwork is the inner workings of either a mechanical clock or a device that operates in a similar fashion.

A group from the city had the idea for the clock, and they, along with Mexican embassador Jesús Zenil arranged to have the same company that built Big Ben, construct the inner workings.

In China, the Tang Dynasty Buddhist monk Yi Xing along with government official Liang Lingzan applied the escapement in 723 ( or 725 ) to the workings of a water-powered armillary sphere and clock drive.

Between the coffered dome and the outer dome are the workings of four-faced clock, that has been recently restored.

Examples of this or what he described as “ making the ordinary extraordinary ” can be seen in Walk on the Wild Side ( 1962 ) where an ordinary cat becomes a mysterious prowling predator, and in Nine Hours to Rama ( 1963 ) where the interior workings of a clock become an expansive new landscape.

* The Clockworks-The inner workings of the clock tower, with many cogs and girders to leap from.

The stones and workings of the clock tower were labelled and stored.

The cases were put by the litigants themselves in the form of an exchange of single speeches timed by water clock, first prosecutor then defendant.

One limitation ( also afflicting the Intel Pentium III ) is that SRAM cache designs at the time were incapable of keeping up with the Athlon's clock scalability, due both to manufacturing limitations of the cache chips and the difficulty of routing electrical connections to the cache chips themselves.

" Finally, in 1970 three members of the Weathermen blew themselves up in a Greenwich Village brownstone trying to make a bomb out of a stick of dynamite and an alarm clock.

* In the July 10, 1920 issue of The Illustrated London News, G. K. Chesterton took issue with both pessimists ( such as Spengler ) and their optimistic critics, arguing that neither took into consideration human choice: " The pessimists believe that the cosmos is a clock that is running down ; the progressives believe it is a clock that they themselves are winding up.

These older styles of slave clocks either keep time by themselves, and are corrected by the master clock, or require impulses from the master clock to advance.

John Bergey, the head of Hamilton's Pulsar division, said that he was inspired to make a digital timepiece by the then-futuristic digital clock that Hamilton themselves made for the 1968 science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey.

For example, in a cell-based or gate-array design the user must often design power, clock, and test structures themselves ; these are predefined in most structured ASICs and therefore can save time and expense for the designer compared to gate-array.

Alternatively, for viral phylogenetics and ancient DNA studies, two areas of evolutionary biology where it is possible to sample sequences over an evolutionary timescale, the dates of the samples themselves can be used to calibrate the molecular clock.

Receivers are able to position themselves near the sideline to run out of bounds, stopping the clock at the end of the play ( the last two minutes of each half in the NFL, and the last three minutes of each half in the CFL ).

This annoys the other Auditors who create human bodies of their own and-naming themselves after colours ( in a possible play on the secret identities in Reservoir Dogs )-they prevent Myria from smashing the clock with a hammer, and organise a localised storm, a bolt of lightning hits Jeremy Clockson's workshop and the clock is started.

Players sometimes repeat a position once not in order to draw, but to gain time on the clock ( when an increment is being used ) or to bring themselves closer to the time control ( at which point they will receive more time ).

This is probably because of the use of the sun as a timekeeper on sundials etc., whose features were in turn transferred to clock faces themselves.

* In college football, the clock is briefly stopped when a team earns a first down to allow the chain crew to reposition themselves.

The qualifying round sees each team racing by themselves against the clock.

A group of craftsmen from the Low Lands ( Flanders ) and France, of which some were clock makers, had established themselves in London at the end of the 16th century.

Jonathan Gray analyzed the self-referentiality in The Simpsons in his 2006 book Watching with The Simpsons: Television, Parody, and Intertextuality, writing that " Sitcoms constantly ' reset ' themselves, living in [...] an ' existential circle ' in which nothing really changes, and every episode starts more or less where the last one started ; and The Simpsons frequently plays with this sitcom clock, and with the amnesia of sitcom memory.

Many cyclists use sportives to challenge themselves in a personal battle against the distance and then ultimately, the clock.

The Costa Ricans, meanwhile, began the walk to Santa Rosa and on 20 March at 4 o ' clock, armed with rifles, sabres, and bayonets, began the attack, surrounded the troublemakers that had stationed themselves in the casona and in the corrals, and fourteen minutes later the Costa Ricans won the battle.

Down 18 in the final period, Los Angeles dug deep and rallied, leaving themselves a two-point deficit with a mere 14. 7 ticks left on the clock.

Mr Smith describes how a number of years before, when there was no teacher for two years, the inhabitants, mostly weavers, formed themselves into an educational society to be managed by twelve directors under the presidency of the minister, and some of the ' more intelligent ' of the villagers undertook the task of teachers: a room was hired for the purpose, and a school opened from 8 to 10 o ' clock at night, in which the teachers, two by two, in monthly turn, gave gratuitous instruction to whatever children were committed to their charge.

The clock has also had issues with mechanical wear ; the use of steel bearings to support and position the rings has led to grooves being worn into the rings themselves, as the bearings are hardened steel and the rings are not.

Early atomic time scales consisted of quartz clocks with frequencies calibrated by a single atomic clock ; the atomic clocks were not operated continuously.

Like their mobile K6-2 +/ III + predecessors, the CPUs were capable of dynamic clock adjustment for power optimization, and also was the reason for the unlocked multiplier.

The first biological clock genes, for example, were identified by examining Drosophila mutants that showed disrupted daily activity cycles.

A search in the genomes of vertebrates turned up a set of analogous genes, which were found to play similar roles in the mouse biological clock — and therefore almost certainly in the human biological clock as well.

Thanks to both the increased reliability as well as the dramatically increased speed of the switching elements ( which were almost exclusively transistors by this time ), CPU clock rates in the tens of megahertz were obtained during this period.

Some water clock designs were developed independently and some knowledge was transferred through the spread of trade.

Many different types of synchronous clock motors were used, including the pre-World War II Hammond manual-start clocks.

According to their special constitutions the Celestines were bound to say matins in the choir at two o ' clock in the morning, and always to abstain from eating meat, save in illness.

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.

There were also five unsuccesssful attempts to design a calculating clock in the 17th century.

The 18th century saw the arrival of some interesting improvements, first by Poleni with the first fully functional calculating clock and four-operation machine, but these machines were almost always one of the kind.

The mechanical parts of early textile machines were sometimes called ' clock work ' because of the metal spindles and gears they incorporated.

Therefore, the ISA bus was synchronous with the CPU clock, until sophisticated buffering methods were developed and implemented by chipsets to interface ISA to much faster CPUs.

Many 386 upgrade kits were advertised as being simple drop-in replacements, but often required complicated software to control the cache and / or clock doubling.

I was also afraid that if my complaint was overruled I would be penalized on the clock when we were in time pressure.

But when longitude at sea is lost, it cannot be found again by any watch .” However, if such a clock were built and set at noon in London at the start of a voyage, it would subsequently always tell you how far from noon it was in London at that second, regardless of where you had traveled.
