A projection alarm clock is an innovative type of alarm clock that projects the time onto a flat surface. Some clocks use a screen, but many are designed to project the time onto the wall or ceiling, using numbers large enough to see at a distance or by a near-sighted person.

This is particularly useful at night when many people would need to reach for their glasses to check the time. Instead, the projection alarm clock’s time is large enough to see without them. Many clocks are adjustable, so the user can make the numerals larger or smaller as necessary.

The projection alarm clock typically has other settings too where the time can be projected in different colors – red and green are among the most common, but this feature differs between models. The projection can be quite aesthetically pleasing depending on its placement and how it works with the color scheme in a room.

Additionally, the brightness of the projection can often vary between high brightness and low brightness; however, neither setting is typically so luminous as to interrupt sleep. Higher brightness settings are easier to read in a room that is not dark or dimly lit.

A user can expect the projection alarm clock to have other, more ordinary features available in addition to those relevant to its projection function. Many alarms come with a radio and volume control for that feature, along with the alarm buzzer itself. Also included is typically the snooze button and possibly a second alarm. All features vary by model, but these are among the most common.

1. Analog or digital: These days, more people opt for digital alarm clocks as they can be seen quite clearly at night. These models also allow for more precise setting of time. On the other hand, analog alarm clocks tend to be more precise as they do not make use of buttons for setting time. But, some models of analog clocks tick or hum too loudly. These are undesirable for obvious reasons.

2. Size: Alarm clocks come in various sizes from small to medium and large. Small clocks are generally meant for travel. However, small alarm clocks make it more difficult to see the time. On the other hand, large alarm clocks are difficult to carry. You must choose the size of the clock according to your requirements.

3. Design: Alarm clocks come in a wide variety of styles. From the classic to modern and funky – the designs are breathtaking, to say the least. There are special alarm clocks for kids that look attractive and make waking up a joy. The alarm clock that looks and rings like an egg is an example.

4. Power source: Most modern alarm clocks derive power from a battery. But, battery backup may not be available in antique pieces. Battery backup ensures that the clock does not run slowly in case of a power outage. This means that the alarm clock will not require frequent time adjustments, thus limiting the wear and tear of parts.

5. Snooze: The snooze or drowse feature is an extremely important one. This turns off the alarm for a few seconds/minutes before the alarm starts ringing again. A separate button has to be pushed if you desire to turn off the alarm altogether. This ensures that the user is properly awake and minimizes the chance of them going back to sleep again.

6. Wake time: Some alarms allow different settings for different days of the week. Some clocks even allow two different wake times for the same day. Such clocks are useful for people who need them as a part of their lifestyle. Quite naturally, these alarm clocks are more expensive.

7. Tunes: Different alarm clocks have different sounds. Some are shrill and loud while others are soft yet persistent. Some alarm clocks allow you to play your favorite song as your wake up call, while others connect to the radio.

The versatility of modern alarm clocks is tremendous. This allows users to pick and choose features according to their needs and purchasing power.

NTP time servers (Network Time Protocol) are an essential aspect of any computer or technology network. So many applications require accurate timing information that failing to synchronize a network adequately and precisely can lead to all sorts of errors and problems – especially when communicating with other networks.

Accuracy, when it comes to time synchronization, means only one thing – Atomic Clocks. No other method of keeping time is as accurate or reliable as an atomic clock. In comparison to an electronic clock, such as a digital watch, which will lose up to a second a day – an atomic clock will remain accurate to a second over 100,000 years.

Atomic Clocks are not something that can be housed in an average server room though; Atomic Clocks are very expensive, fragile and require full time technicians to control so are usually only found in large scale physics laboratories such as the ones run by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Time – USA) and NPL (National Physical Laboratory – UK).

Getting a source of accurate time from an atomic clock is relatively easy. For a secure and reliable source of atomic clock time there are only two options (the internet can neither be described as secure nor reliable as a source of time):

GPS time
UTC time broadcast on long-wave

GPS time, from the USA’s Global Positioning System, is a time stamp generated onboard the Atomic Clocks on the satellites. There is one distinct advantage about using GPS as a source of time: it is available anywhere on the planet.

All that is required to receive and utilise GPS time is a GPS time sever and antenna; a good clear view of the sky is also needed for an assured signal. Whilst not strictly UTC time (Coordinated Universal Time) being broadcast by GPS (UTC has had 17 leap seconds added to it since the satellites were launched) the timestamp included the information needed for NTP to convert it to the universal time standard.

UTC, however, is broadcast directly from physics laboratories and is available by using a radio referenced NTP server. These signals are not available everywhere but in the USA (the signal is known as WWVB) and most of Europe (MSF and DCF) are covered. These too are highly accurate atomic clock generated time sources and as both methods come from a secure source the computer network will remain secure.

The earliest forms of time keeping were thought to be devised mainly for the use of astronomers. In ancient times much of mans knowledge and activities were determined and tracked by heavenly bodies. Because of this some form of time keeping became necessary. Certainly they had no use at the time for the watches we now so casually wear on our wrists that calculate time in milliseconds and are calibrated by radio signals from a far away atomic time clock.

No they were happy with any device that could just give them some standard measurement on a semi regular basis. Modern timepieces and actually timepieces dating back hundreds of years are possible because some form of controlled constant movement is available. Early devices used weights pulled by gravity to transmit energy to revolving cogs, gears and wheels to provide time as long as someone remembered to reset the weights.

Pendulums were another early driving  force. More advanced time pieces were made possible by the invention of coil springs which could keep pressure on the clock or watch movement and keep everything moving in synch.

Before technology had improved enough to introduce gears, springs, weights and pendulums some simpler method of movement was needed. Somewhere along the line, probably in Egypt, someone noticed that the sun caused shadows as the earth moved through it’s orbit. First obelisks were erected which allowed them to divide their day into morning and afternoon. Later more elaborate devices called sundials were constructed which enabled to keep what they thought was fairly precise time. Sundials could be large elaborate half spheres carved in stone or small pocket sized devices complete with a compass to align the dial and could be carried in a pocket. (Hmm. Were pockets invented yet I wonder?)

At any rate one could well imagine the joy they felt when these were first devised. It was not long though till a problem was discovered. Someone turned out the light. Yes, the sun went down. What to do? What other form of fairly accurate motion was known at that time? Flowing water.

Various forms of water clocks were devised. Some as simple as stone or metal bowls with calibrated lines inscribed inside. These containers had a small hole in the bottom which allowed a small flow of water to enter as the bowls were floated in a tub of water. Though crude they served a purpose. Later huge elaborate water clocks were built which used water movement to operate complicated mechanisms. These may have been efficient in egypt where theweather was always warm or hot but in Northern climates the water tended to get hard as the temperature dropped which of course stopped the clock.

And you thought you had it tough because you have to remember to change the batteries in your kitchen clock once a year.

Water Clocks

From ancient water clocks to today’s atomic watches man has always desired perfect time. Find more information at the above links.

Time is a concept that has taken on a great importance in this modern age. When we arrive late for an important appointment, be it work related or with friends, then we often suffer negative consequences. The people that have been left waiting may be annoyed and also very critical. It is partially for this reason that our world is full of timepieces. A popular option is the digital wall clock.

Digital wall clocks are more than just a practical object they can also be thought of as being stylish. They’re now a common site in offices, homes, factories, train stations, bus stations, shopping centres, and airports. They come in every conceivable design and style. Even the size can vary from petite to very large. They can give more information that simply the hour of the day; you can be kept up to date with what day of the week it is, the temperature and weather, phase of the moon, and more.

If you are planning to buy a digital wall clock, then prior to spending your cash consider the exact reason why you want to make a purchase. If it is to be for your home then make certain the style fits your decor as well as the room’s ambience. A clock for the bedroom would not necessarily be the same as one used in the bathroom or kitchen.

You should not overlook the clock’s size. Think about what distance it would be seen from most of the time. You would not want the information it shows to be unreadable unless it is viewed up close, but on the other hand a large screen may look unsightly in a small room.

Usually digital clocks would be lightweight and flat. They can easily be attached or hung from a wall without much effort as they do not stick out like an old fashioned clock would have done. They are a great space saving gadget.

It is rare for us to leave our homes without our cell phones in our pocket. But there are people who like to take a small digital clock with them on their travels and vacations. This is because their batteries do not die down in a matter of 24 hours like most cell phones do. They are very reliable, especially if you want an alarm to wake you up in the morning. You would not miss your appointments if you use a digital clock with an alarm.

When choosing what design to go for the best avenue to explore would be to check out what options are available from online retailers. They would offer far greater choice than your local department store. It is possible you may find a design that you had never thought of choosing. There are many novelty options, themed clocks, and some that are branded with pictures and motifs from popular movies, musicians, and the like.

Also by choosing to shop online you should be able to find a digital wall clock that is much cheaper than what could be had in your local town. This is because online retailers have few overheads and can pass on savings to their customers.

Atomic Talking Watches

As people get older, they tend to become visually impaired and need low vision aids such as talking watches. But if you think about it for about 10 seconds, you will quickly realize … if it is difficult to “see” a normal watch, it will also be difficult to “set” the time and date on the watch. Thus, you might want a talking watch that sets itself automatically. In other words, you need an “Atomic” talking watch or clock.

An atomic watch offers several benefits in addition to setting the day and date itself. For example, they are battery-powered, so you don’t have to wind them. You can set the time standard by which country you are currently visiting. Atomic talking watches or clocks adjust automatically for daylight savings, and all the atomic talking watches I have seen include an alarm feature. Furthermore, atomic talking watches by Riezen even include a free audio cassette with instructions on how to use your atomic talking watch for the visually impaired … their customers typically can’t read the tiny print on most instruction sheets.

HOW ATOMIC TALKING WATCHES WORK:

Atomic watches and clocks include a tiny antenna and receiver inside that receives a radio signal transmitted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) out of Fort Collins, Colorado.

The signal is broadcast from the radio station WWVB at 1 bit per second data rate on a 60 kHz radio frequency with 50 kW transmit power. The signal originates from an atomic clock residing in Boulder, Colorado at NIST which is accurate to 1 second in 60 million years. With 50 kW of transmit power at this radio frequency, the signal covers a radius of approximately 2,000 miles making the signal receivable throughout the continental United States and much of Canada and Central America.

DO YOU HAVE TO ADJUST FOR DAYLIGHT SAVINGS OR LEAP YEARS?

Incidentally, the time code is sent using Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) format containing minutes, hours, day of the year, and the year as well as daylight savings time and leap year information. Thus, you don’t need to adjust your atomic talking watch for daylight savings times or leap years. However, you will need to tell it your current time zone (e.g., east coast U.S.).

DO ATOMIC TALKING WATCHES WORK OVERSEAS?

If you travel overseas, the U.S. time signal will not reach your watch. However, there are atomic time radio signals transmitted from other countries as well. Not all atomic talking watches or clocks will pick and interpret these non-U.S. time signals. If this is important to you, be sure to check on this before you buy.

Of course, most visually impaired or low vision people who really need a talking watch do not need to know “how” an atomic talking watch works; they just need to know that it does work and more importantly, they don’t have to bother setting the time or date or adjust it for daylight savings or leap years. Furthermore, most don’t travel overseas and all atomic talking watches use batteries, so the visually impaired don’t even have to remember to wind the watch; they just need to know which button to push to hear the time.
