The World Clock Design and Implementation The World Clock Design and Implementation Jhavik Gaudemar Bfern KIGNOUMBA (金永) Advisor: Prof. Chia-Chun Tsai Department of Computer Science Information and Engineering [email protected] Abstract In this project, we design and implement a world display clock. The clock is a device controlled by the user and the user will be able to find the time on different locations with the respective time zone. Just by choosing the location in need, the user can get the real Buttons to 8 bit time if the default time as been set correctly. By using choose Micro Functions a 8951 microcontroller, we have been able to create Controler the device that can help on people at home, or even everywhere, because the device here do not need any pushbutton Switches internet connection to function correctly. The 4x4 objectives of our project here includes: 1) time setting Keyboard and 2) location’s choice. Our world clock can set up to locality's times of 16 countries.

Introduction This project creates a clock which displays the time for different countries on a displayer made of six Living aboard and far away from your country is 7-segment displays and 4 red-light LEDs. Here, we not easy thing cause other time you would like to pass are presenting a settable time that will be set as calls but there is a big with a time zone, so it is default time. And can be change according to the time sometimes a hassle because you don't know if it is zone in need. To set of time and the choice of the already a night time or not; and you would have to do locality's time, we have provided two push buttons to some operations to know what time is it wherever you allow the user to choose which function he needs to want to call, but when you have an international clock, set. As our clock here doesn't use the real time chip with what you will just need to press on one button device, so we need to set first the time before any use. and you have the time you want to know, it will be If the first button is pressed , the user can now set the much comfortable and easier. That is the reason I time from hours to seconds using the 4x4 keyboard, wanted to make an international clock for myself at the time counter restarts once the user is done with his home that would show the time of many countries.

Here we can count 16 different times, marked by the different time zone difference, (eg: when it's 22:27 in Taiwan, it is 16:27 in Cape Town). The designing of the timer is done with the P89V51RD2 chip, programmed with the assembly language. Combine with a 4x4 keyboard plus two additional single-pushed buttons as explained previously, also with a LED indicator light. To build this, we had to refer to some websites to see how to connect to control the microcontroller 8951; and here are some links [3,4,5] shown bellow. Note: here our timer only show the time not the date, so even if by pressing the time zone it gives the time which seems to be in a different day, we should know that our timer cannot precise the day.

    Paper—Anytime Autonomous English MALL App Engagement Anytime Autonomous English MALL App Engagement https://doi.org/10.3991/ijet.v14i18.10763 Jason Byrne Toyo University, Tokyo, Japan [email protected] Abstract—Mobile assisted language learning (MALL) apps are often said to be 'Anytime' activities. But, when is 'Anytime' exactly? The objective of the pa- per is to provide evidence for the when of MALL activity around the world. The research method involved the collection and analysis of an EFL app’s time data from 44 countries. The findings were surprising in the actual consistency of us- age, 24/7, across 43 of the 44 countries. The 44th country was interesting in that it differed significantly in terms of night time usage. The research also noted differences in Arab, East Asian and Post-Communist country usage, to what might be construed to be a general worldwide app time usage norm. The results are of interest as the time data findings appear to inform the possibility of a po- tentially new innovative pedagogy based on an emerging computational aware- ness of context and opportunity, suggesting a possible future language learning niche within the Internet of Things (IoT), of prompted, powerful, short-burst, mobile learning. Keywords—CALL, MALL, EFL, IoT, Post-Communist, Saudi Arabia. 1 Introduction 'Learning anytime, anywhere' is one of the most well-known phrases used to de- scribe learning technology [1]. A review of the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) literature will rapidly bring forth the phrase 'Anytime and anywhere.' But, when exactly is anytime? Is it really 24/7? Or, is it more nuanced? For example, does it vary from country to country, day by day or hour by hour? The literature simply does not provide answers.

    SR21 Working Document Conference paper 1 Forms of Time: Unity in Plurality Jirˇ´ı Wackermann Dept. of Empirical and Analytical Psychophysics Institute for Frontier Areas of Psychology and Mental Health Freiburg i. Br., Germany 1 Time, the measure and the measurable Time is not a thing among other things; time is rather a form of the process of universal change, given in a succession of distinct world’s states. The world is a theatre of appearances arising from and receding to an undifferentiated background. Things of the world are in a continuous flux, in permanent alternation and succession, according to the order of time.1 — In this archaic view, time is a synonym for the ordering principle ruling the Universe, o¹o&. Time is primarily cosmic time, manifesting itself in the regularity of the world’s process. In Plato’s philosophical myth, time was a “moving image of eternity,”2 constructed on mathematical principles (fixed arithmetic ratios). Therefore, time can be conceived as a quantitative measure of change, or, in Aristotle’s classical definition, the “number of motion in respect of ‘before and after’.”3 This notion of arithmetised time was a precursor of the notion of ‘mathematical time,’ required by the rise of new, dynamical physics (Galilei, Huygens, Newton et al.). Conceptually, time in physics is a parameter of dynamic equations, increasing monotonically with the succession of world states. Operationally, time is measured by a clock, a system implementing a locally bound inertial motion, and thus believed to provide a uniform measure of time (Huygens). Newton postulated “absolute, true, mathematical time [which] flows equably without relation to anything external,”4 that is, an objective reality independent from clocks and observers.

  • Relativistic Rotation: a Comparison of Theories
    Relativistic Rotation: A Comparison of Theories by Robert D. Klauber 1100 University Manor Dr., 38B Fairfield, Iowa 52556 rklauber[AT]iowatelecom.net or rklauber[AT]netscape.net Alternative theories of relativistic rotation considered viable as of 2004 are compared in the light of experiments reported in 2005. En route, the contentious issue of simultaneity choice in rotation is resolved by showing that only one simultaneity choice, the one possessing continuous time, gives rise, via the general relativistic equation of motion, to the correct Newtonian limit Coriolis acceleration. In addition, the widely dispersed argument purporting Lorentz contraction in rotation and the concomitant curved surface of a rotating disk is analyzed and argued to be lacking for more than one reason. It is posited that not by theoretical arguments, but only via experiment can we know whether such effect exists in rotation or not. The Coriolis/simultaneity correlation, and the results of the 2005 experiments, support the Selleri theory as being closest to the truth, though it is incomplete in a more general applicability sense, because it does not provide a global metric. Two alternatives, a modified Klauber ap- proach and a Selleri-Klauber hybrid, are presented which are consistent with recent experiment and have a global metric, thereby making them applicable to rotation problems of all types. Keywords: Relativistic; rotation; rotating frame; Sagnac; time discontinuity arXiv:gr-qc/0604118v2 16 Dec 2006 1 Introduction The recent book Relativity in Rotating Frames[1], edited by Rizzi and Ruggiero, acknowledged the little recognized lack of a universally accepted theory of relativistic rotation and presented several different theories by various invited contributors.
