  2. Clock drift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_drift

    Even the Earth's rotation rate has more drift and variation in drift than an atomic clock due to tidal acceleration and other effects. The principle behind the atomic clock has enabled scientists to re-define the SI unit second in terms of exactly 9 192 631 770 oscillations of the caesium-133 atom. The precision of these oscillations allows ...

    Painting of the clock tower and the mosque minaret by Aladár SzöllÅ‘sy (December 5, 1915) The clock tower of Peqin is a type III clock tower, characterized by three floors and represents the second variant of this type. [a] Its floor plan measures 3.86 x 4.12 meters, with a total height reaching 20.6 meters. The stone walls are 0.83 meters thick.

  4. Clock synchronization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_synchronization

    Clock synchronization is a topic in computer science and engineering that aims to coordinate otherwise independent clocks. Even when initially set accurately, real clocks will differ after some amount of time due to clock drift , caused by clocks counting time at slightly different rates.

  5. Bit slip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_slip

    In digital transmission, bit slip is the loss or gain of a bit or bits, caused by clock drift – variations in the respective clock rates of the transmitting and receiving devices. One cause of bit slip is overflow of a receive buffer that occurs when the transmitter's clock rate exceeds that of the receiver.

    Depiction of the clock tower in a 1939 postcard. The clock tower of Kavajë is a type II clock tower, characterized by two floors and represents the second variant of this type. [a] Standing 3.5 meters above ground, overlooking Kubelie Mosque and the nearby shops, its square floor plan measures 4.37 by 4.37 meters, with walls 0.85 meters thick ...

  8. Drift (telecommunications) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_(telecommunications)

    In telecommunications, a drift is a comparatively long-term change in an attribute, value, or operational parameter of a system or equipment. The drift should be characterized, such as "diurnal frequency drift" and "output level drift." Drift is usually undesirable and unidirectional, but may be bidirectional, cyclic, or of such long-term ...

    The clock tower is situated in Tirana's city center, adjacent to Et'hem Bey Mosque. It is a type III clock tower, characterized by three floors and represents the first variant of this type, where the second floor is open. [a] The tower stands on a 1-meter-high plinth with a square base measuring 4.27 x 4.28 meters. The stones for its ...
