Given the timing information the transmitted waveform can be reconstructed electronically with great precision.
Event simulation allows the design to contain simple timing information - the delay needed for a signal to travel from one place to another.
Obtaining timing information in this manner, they reliably receive when the transmitter is sending at a slightly different speed than it should.
And by using literally the timing information from all the cellphones that everybody in the mall is walking around with, they're able to track individual people.
They get their timing information from a master clock and send it out to the network.
Precise timing information was relayed to the 68000 by interrupts.
But the possibility of delivering timing information optically has long been seen as a potential for dramatically increased processor speed.
Rather, it seems to target an area of the brain stem called the inferior olive, a pacemaker that sends timing information to the cerebellum.
Some bushy cells can even improve the precision of the timing information.
The octopus cells are thought to be important for extracting timing information.
