| 20080219102 | Apparatus for forming an apparatus for indicating the passage of time and the formed apparatus - The present invention discloses a time passage indicating apparatus which comprises a substrate, a background layer on the substrate, and a time passage indicating layer on the background layer. The background layer and the time passage indicating layer bond to each other through a first and second polymer binder. The background layer diplays a background color. The time passage indicating layer displays an initial color in an initial state that is different from the background color, and a final color in a final state that is substantially the same as the background color, so as to indicate the end of a time period where the time passage indicating layer transforms from the initial state to the final state. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20090122654 | STOP WATCH INCLUDING A TIME INDICATOR - It is disclosed a stop watch ( | 05-14-2009 |
| 20100322037 | TIME INDICATOR DEVICE - A time indicator device comprised of first and second interconnected reservoirs containing first and second liquids respectively. A first barrier is provided between said first and second liquids to prevent said liquids mixing. Said first barrier is connected via a conduit to a third reservoir containing a third liquid which is adapted to pass along said conduit over a first predetermined time period and to effect removal of said first barrier upon contact to facilitate mixing of said first and second liquid and generation of a liquid mixture within the second reservoir of different colour to the second liquid prior to mixing and thereby provide an indication of when said first predetermined time period has elapsed. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110255380 | High Resolution Time Measurement in a FPGA - Various techniques are described for high resolution time measurement using a programmable device, such as an FPGA. The timing may be triggered by any event, depending on the applications of use. Once triggering has occurred, a START pulse begins propagating through the FPGA. The pulse is able to propagate through the FPGA in a staggered manner traversing multiple FPGA columns to maximize the amount of time delay that may be achieved while minimizing the overall array size, and thus minimizing the resource utilization, of the FPGA. The FPGA timing delay is calibrated by measuring for the linear and non-linear differences in delay time of each unit circuit forming the staggered delay line path for the timing circuit. The FPGA is able to achieve nanosecond and sub-nanosecond time resolutions and thus may be used in applications such as various time of flight systems. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20120147712 | Monitoring apparatus - A timing apparatus on a container cap which is associated with a standard push pump. The timer is activated by pushing down on the standard pump that then moves a fluid that is held within a chamber having a first compartment and a second compartment The compartments are in fluid communication with each other. The fluid is moved from one compartment to the other compartment when the pump is pushed and the timer works because the fluid returns to the first compartment over some known range of time when the pump is no longer being pushed. | 06-14-2012 |

| 20140064041 | TIMING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME - A device and system for indicating the passage of a duration of time and a method of making the same. The timing device is able to be to be more, less or not sensitive to temperature. Additionally, the timing device is able to indicate a level or time of exposure to environmental attributes. The timing device is housed by a sheet body having a scale indicator, a unit indicator, a unit multiplier and a presentation window. As a result, the sheet body enables a user to quickly not only determine if an item has spoiled or a period of time has elapsed, but also how much time is left before spoilage or the time will elapse. The easy to read scale on the sheet body enables accurate judgments to be made on what to do with perishable and other types of items associated with the timing device. | 03-06-2014 |
| 20140247702 | Oral timer and method of using same - A method for allowing a human subject having a mouth to time a predetermined duration, the method comprising: initiating a first oral sensation in the mouth of the human subject to indicate a beginning of the predetermined duration; and initiating a second oral sensation in the mouth of the human subject to indicate an end of the predetermined duration, the second oral sensation differing from the first oral sensation. Initiations of the first and second oral sensations are separated in time by substantially the predetermined duration. Also, an oral timer for performing the method and a kit including a plurality of the oral timers. | 09-04-2014 |
| 20150323904 | Method For Communicating Running Clock Status Using Low Bandwidth - Millions of people play sports around the world. Most sports involve some form of clock that counts down the amount of time remaining in the period or quarter. This clock is typically run through a form of hardware that serves as a scoreboard controller. The present invention relates to a way of communicating the amount of time remaining on the scoreboard to a remote computer system using minimal bandwidth. This is achieved by using a pair of numeric variables and an optional Boolean variable. | 11-12-2015 |
