The Master of G is a line of G-Shock watches produced by Japanese electronics company Casio designed for usage in harsh environments. Many showcase new technology that Casio would eventually introduce into the G-Shock line of watches, such as an altimeter , digital compass and the Tough Solar feature.
DW-8600 Fisherman (1996): First G-Shock to include a tide graph and moonphase feature. This model was a precursor to the more popular Gulfman series first introduced in 1998. [15] DW-9300 Raysman (1998): First G-Shock to have tough solar battery recharging technology. [16] DW-9800 Wademan (1999): First G-Shock with directional sensor. [17]
Many Edifice watches utilise Tough Solar, Casio's brand name for solar powered batteries. More advanced models are "Waveceptors" which can calibrate themselves with atomic clocks via radio waves. Some models have Bluetooth connectivity which enable them to be monitored via a smart phone and to share chronograph data.
Jewel bearing of a balance wheel, supported by a lyre-shaped spring. The Incabloc shock protection system is the trade name for a spring-loaded mounting system for the jewel bearings that support the balance wheel in a mechanical watch, to protect the wheel's delicate pivots from damage in the event of physical shock, such as if the watch is dropped.
Epicyclic gearing or planetary gearing is a gear system consisting of one or more outer, or planet, gears or pinions, revolving about a central sun gear or sun wheel. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Typically, the planet gears are mounted on a movable arm or carrier , which itself may rotate relative to the sun gear.
In October 2003, Beechcraft announced that it would deliver future B300 and B300C King Airs with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite.

Initially named New Solar Telescope (NST), first engineering light was obtained in December 2008, and scientific observations of the Sun began in January 2009. On July 17, 2017, the NST was renamed in honor of Goode , a former, and founding director of NJIT's Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research and the principal investigator of the facility.
Shock detector on a package Shock detectors can be mounted in sports helmets to help monitor impacts. A shock detector, shock indicator, or impact monitor is a device which indicates whether a physical shock or impact has occurred. These usually have a binary output and are sometimes called shock overload devices. Shock detectors can be used on ...
