2. Luminescence dating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminescence_dating

   Luminescence dating. Luminescence dating refers to a group of chronological dating methods of determining how long ago mineral grains were last exposed to sunlight or sufficient heating. It is useful to geologists and archaeologists who want to know when such an event occurred. It uses various methods to stimulate and measure luminescence.

3. Crystal oscillator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_oscillator

   A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses a piezoelectric crystal as a frequency-selective element. [1] [2] [3] The oscillator frequency is often used to keep track of time, as in quartz wristwatches, to provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits, and to stabilize frequencies for radio transmitters and receivers.

7. Quartz clock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_clock

   Quartz clocks and quartz watches are timepieces that use an electronic oscillator regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time. This crystal oscillator creates a signal with very precise frequency, so that quartz clocks and watches are at least an order of magnitude more accurate than mechanical clocks. Generally, some form of digital logic ...

8. Kaiser Steel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser_Steel

   This part of Kaiser Steel business was highly profitable, but in June 1979 the 28.3% ownership share was sold to Conzinc Riotinto for $207.5 million, bringing Riotinto's share to 54%. The reason for the sale was speculated by The Iron Age to be due to debt incurred for the latest $233 million modernization program at Fontana. [33]
