Machine or electronic device that measures and records time. Both simple and elaborate clocks, as well as sundials, candle clocks, and sandglasses, were used for measuring time in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. The first mechanical clocks were weight-driven and perhaps were invented for use in monasteries, where the disciplined life required a strict rendering of time. The first European public clock that struck the hours was erected in Milan in 1335, and the oldest surviving clocks are in England (1386) and France (1389). The first domestic clocks appeared late in the 14th century. About 1500 Peter Henlein, a German locksmith, began to make the first portable timepieces, small clocks driven by a spring. Christiaan Huygens invented pendulum clocks in 1656. Big Ben, the great clock at Westminster in London, was installed in 1859 and is the standard for all accurate tower pendulum clocks. The most accurate mechanical timekeepers (within a few thousandths of a second per day) are clocks with short pendulums (about 39 in. [or 990 mm]). In 1929 the vibration of a quartz crystal was first applied to timekeeping; the maximum error of an observatory quartz-crystal clock is only a few ten-thousandths of a second per day. The first atomic clock went into operation in 1951. Atomic clocks, regulated by the natural periodic behaviour of a system of atoms (such as vibrations or emission of radiation), can have accuracies exceeding one billionth of a second per day, making them the most accurate clocks yet invented

• clock: also known as a molecular clock One of the most important assumptions that is often made using molecular data is the existence of a clock In other words, there is sometimes an assumption being made either implicitly or explicitly that the rate of change of residues in molecules is approximately constant Making this assumption is fraught with dangers, but a great many empirical studies have shown that (with some errors) the assumption of a clock often holds true If there are some good reference points (say, fossils or significant geological events) it is sometimes possible to use molecular data to estimate the time of events for which there is no other alternative

• clock: As related to the year 2000 issue, an independent timekeeping circuit (called the Real Time Clock or RTC) used within a microcomputer to keep track of the time and calendar date A clock/calendar circuit is battery powered, so it continues running even when the computer is turned off The time and date kept by the clock/calendar can be used by the operating system (for example, to "stamp" files with the date and time of creation or revision) and by application programs via calls to the BIOS (for example, to insert the date or time in a document) Not to be confused with the computer's system clock, one of the prime determinants of the overall processing speed

• clock: Any of several types of timing control devices, or the periodic signals that they generate A sequencer's internal clock is always set to some number of pulses per quarter-note (ppq), and this setting is one of the main factors that determine how precisely the sequencer can record time-dependent information The actual clock speed is usually determined by the beats-per-minute setting See ppq, bpm, MIDI clock
• clock: A repetitive or cyclic timing signal to coordinate state changes in a digital system A clock can coordinate the movement of data and results through various stages of processing Although a clock signal is digital, the source of the repetitive signal is almost always an analog circuit In an analog system we might produce a known delay by slowly charging a capacitor and measuring the voltage across it continuously until the voltage reaches the desired level A big problem with this is that the circuit becomes increasingly susceptible to noise at the end of the interval In a digital system we create a delay by simply counting clock cycles Since all external operations are digital, noise effects are virtually eliminated, and we can easily create accurate delays which are as long as the count in any counter we can build
