published in 1658. Huygens contracted the construction of his clock designs to clockmaker Salomon Coster, who actually built the clock. Huygens was inspired...

1821. Today this principle is known as the Huygens–Fresnel principle. Huygens invented the pendulum clock in 1657, which he patented the same year. His...

accurate timekeeping technology until the 1930s. The pendulum clock invented by Christiaan Huygens in 1656 became the world's standard timekeeper, used in homes...

invention of the pendulum clock by Christiaan Huygens. A major stimulus to improving the accuracy and reliability of clocks was the importance of precise...

from Stanford and Google introduced Huygens, a probe-based, end-to-end clock synchronization algorithm. Huygens is implemented in software and thus can...

scientific ideas of the period, and collaborated with Huygens and his contemporaries. Huygens first used a clock to calculate the equation of time (the difference...

The pendulum clock was invented in 1656 by Dutch scientist and inventor Christiaan Huygens, and patented the following year. Huygens contracted the...

pendulum clock, which had been invented by Dutch mathematician Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695). Coster died a sudden death in 1659. Christiaan Huygens invented...

these effects was Christiaan Huygens, the inventor of the pendulum clock, who was surprised to note that two pendulum clocks which normally would keep slightly...

gift of an actual clock, which Huygens had also sent to several people, including Louis XIV and the Grand Duke Ferdinand II. Huygens's mathematics in the...

in August 9, 1985. The clock used the alarm clock technology created by Christiaan Huygens in 1657. This relic shows that Huygens' technology was spread...

the Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens in 1665 who discovered the phenomenon during an experiment with pendulum clocks: He set them each in motion and...

his four clocks disagreed by plus or minus four seconds.: 104  In 1656, Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens invented the first pendulum clock. It had a...

earliest known type of mechanical escapement, the mechanism in a mechanical clock that controls its rate by allowing the gear train to advance at regular...

the pendulum by the Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens in 1656. Before this invention, lantern clocks used a balance wheel lacking a balance spring for...

an instrument to cleanse the stomach. Christiaan Huygens patents his 1656 design for a pendulum clock and the first example is made for him by Salomon...

16th-century Europe, where watches evolved from portable spring-driven clocks, which first appeared in the 15th century. The watch was developed by inventors...

useless both in theory and in practice. Christiaan Huygens, following his invention of the pendulum clock in 1656, made the first attempt at a marine chronometer...

Clockwork refers to the inner workings of either mechanical devices called clocks and watches (where it is also called the movement) or other mechanisms that...
