The next morning, as the clock struck nine, he appeared at the Council meeting in the Town Hall and insisted that the couple would have to be punished if the Church was to be respected.

Due to the averaging it is far more stable than any clock would be alone ( see signal averaging for a discussion ).

As the towns and cities of the Middle Ages began to grow, and the general populace was unable to read, signs that today would say cobbler, miller, tailor or blacksmith would use an image associated with their trade such as a boot, a suit, a hat, a clock, a diamond, a horse shoe, a candle or even a bag of flour.

In this scheme, the CPU would then quickly switch to another thread which is ready to run, the switch often done in one CPU clock cycle, such as the UltraSPARC Technology.

* The clock stops after the offense completes a first down and begins again — assuming it is following a play in which the clock would not normally stop — once the referee declares the ball ready for play.

The " equation of time ", for example, is a correction that must be applied to the reading of a sundial in order to obtain mean time, as would be shown by a clock.

For example, if you wanted a clock chime, you would set the drawbars at 010010603.

In this configuration the FPU would operate asynchronously to the CPU, usually with a clock rate of 10 MHz.

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

Frisius had realized that to determine longitude, a clock would have to be “ of great exactness ”.

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.

Harrison spent seventeen years working on this third ' sea clock ' but despite every effort it seems not to have performed exactly as he would have wished.

In 1612, Galileo Galilei proposed that with sufficiently accurate knowledge of the orbits of the moons of Jupiter one could use their positions as a universal clock and this would make possible the determination of longitude, but the practical problems of the method he devised were severe and it was never used at sea.

A " pulse distributor " would take the pulses generated by the CPU clock and break them up into eight separate time pulses, each of which would activate a different row of the lattice.

Usual addition would suggest that the later time should be 7 + 8 = 15, but this is not the answer because clock time " wraps around " every 12 hours ; in 12-hour time, there is no " 15 o ' clock ".

Although this design eliminated a number of useful instructions such as multiply and divide it was felt that the overall performance of the system would be dramatically improved because the chips could run at much higher clock rates.

This ramping of the speed would be difficult with interlocking involved, as the time needed to set up locks is as much a function of die size as clock rate.

In the domain of simulations, the term means that the simulation's clock runs as fast as a real clock would ; and in the domain of data transfer, media processing and enterprise systems, the term is used to mean ' without perceivable delay '.

One faces 60 degrees away from the target, with one's non-throwing hand closest to the target: thus, imagining the thrower at the center of a large horizontal circle with the target at the 12 o ' clock position, a right-handed thrower would orient one's body toward 10 o ' clock, with the arm rotating vertically in the 12 o ' clock plane.

In the NFL the clock does not explicitly stop for a first down.

** If a team is penalized in the final minute of a half and the penalty causes the clock to stop, the opposing team now has the right to have 10 seconds run off the clock in addition to the yardage penalty.

Also, quarterbacks can " spike " or throw the football at the ground to stop the official game clock.

A curved device called a finger stop sits above the dial at approximately the 4 o ' clock position.

At the middle or high school level, 34 states use a mercy rule that may involve a " continuous clock " – that is, the clock continues to operate on most plays when the clock would normally stop, such as an incomplete pass – once a team has a certain lead ( e. g., 35 points ) during the second half.

Under the rules, the clock only stops for scores ( in Colorado and Kansas, the clock does not stop on a score ), penalties, injuries, timeouts, and change of possession ( the clock restarts on the ready-for-play whistle instead of the snap for possession changes ; the clock does not stop for change of possession in Georgia ).

Incomplete passes and going out of bounds do not stop the clock.

With the clock ticking down, players from both teams were fighting, and the Bears were forced to snap the ball before the officials formally put it back into play, allowing McMahon to throw the ball out of bounds and stop the clock with three seconds left.

Theismann's subsequent pass was caught by Garrett, but he was tackled at the 9-yard line by defensive back Glenn Blackwood, preventing any field goal attempt as the Redskins were unable to stop the clock before time expired in the half.

The clock will start as they cross this line and stop when they reach the finish line.

Unique situations where a loss reduces a quarterback's rushing total ( not a sack ) are " kneel downs " ( used to run time off the game clock ).

It may succeed in drawing a pass interference penalty on the defense ( a strong possibility with so many receivers running deep routes for the defense to cover ), which gives the offense the ability to run another play with better field position in all situations ( since the game cannot end on a defensive penalty, even if there is no time left on the clock ).

After Walter explains that the prices were raised on the tours and now that the girls are earning $ 64 per trick, the girls are gently warned off and that if these situations continue to occur, a clock will be set each time they take a new client to ensure the man gets what he pays for.

In addition, Memorandum Circular No. 08 was issued to NDCC member agencies for the maintenance of round the clock manning of respective agency operations center for quick response in case flooding and other similar disaster situations.

" 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.

In telecommunications, asynchronous communication is transmission of data without the use of an external clock signal, where data can be transmitted intermittently rather than in a steady stream .< ref >

Another type of MT is known as simultaneous multithreading, where instructions of multiple threads are executed in parallel within one CPU clock cycle.

* The two-minute warning is not used in college football, except in rare cases where the scoreboard clock has malfunctioned and is not being used.

The clock starts again when the referee determines the ball is ready for scrimmage, except for team time-outs ( where the clock starts at the snap ), after a time count foul ( at the snap ) and kickoffs ( where the clock starts not at the kick but when the ball is first touched after the kick ).

Another way to represent results is in DMIPS / MHz, where DMIPS result is further divided by CPU frequency, to allow for easier comparison of CPUs running at different clock rates.

By referring to the clock when it is noon locally ( i. e. the Sun is at its highest in the sky where you are ) you can read, almost directly from the clock face, how far around the world you are from London.

The control store was a diode matrix: a two-dimensional lattice, where one dimension accepted " control time pulses " from the CPU's internal clock, and the other connected to control signals on gates and other circuits.

There is also at least one case where the term nanokernel is used to refer not to a small kernel, but one that supports a nanosecond clock resolution.

In mathematics, modular arithmetic ( sometimes called clock arithmetic ) is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers " wrap around " upon reaching a certain value — the modulus.

These were useful in systems where the clock support was already being provided on the motherboard by some other chip.

Other microcontrollers may serve performance-critical roles, where they may need to act more like a digital signal processor ( DSP ), with higher clock speeds and power consumption.

As the original 68000 processor in Amigas tended only to access memory on every second available memory cycle, Agnus operated a system where the time-critical custom chips access got the " odd " clock cycle and the CPU got the " even " cycle, thus the CPU did not generally get locked out of memory access and did not appear to slow down.

An exception to this is that if a clock is employed then if one player defaults on time that player's opponent wins regardless of the board configuration, with varying methods to determine the official score where one is required.

The mercy rule is most common in games such as baseball or softball, where there is no game clock and play could theoretically continue forever, although it is also used in sports such as hockey and American football.
