36 results about "Lunar phase" patented technology

The lunar phase or phase of the Moon is the shape of the directly sunlit portion of the Moon as viewed from Earth. The lunar phases gradually and cyclically change over the period of a synodic month (about 29.53 days), as the orbital positions of the Moon around Earth and of Earth around the Sun shift.

System and method for a clock using a time standard where global time works cooperatively with all local time zones

InactiveUS20050105397A1Clear and easy conversionVisual indicationRadio transmissionTime of useSolstice
A global time reckoning system simultaneously indicates local time and global time. The global time reckoning system can be practiced with standard clock timer drivers, including electromechanical and digital clock motors, in combination with a novel global time system clock face to allow a user to reckon time locally or anywhere on the globe without time zone conversion calculations. The global time system clock face has multiple time scales, at least one of which is driven by the clock drive in cooperation with an hour indicator (e.g., an hour hand). The global time system clock face simultaneously displays global time (relative to any location on the globe) and local time. Additionally, the global time reckoning system, with the appropriate clock timer driver is adaptable to indicate a number of other global time related information, including sunrise / sunset, days of the week, lunar phase and solstices / equinoxes.
