Orolia Group
Orolia, Inc. (formerly Spectracom Corporation) was a global manufacturer of precision time and frequency instruments and network-centric equipment used in a wide range of industries. Spectracom was founded in Rochester, New York USA in 1972. Its first product was a WWVB Receiver-Comparator, an instrument used to calibrate oscillators with traceability to national standards. Other early products included WWVB frequency and time standards which offered atomic clock accuracy at a fraction of the cost. This led to widespread use of these products in vital communications networks, such as two-way police radio simulcast systems, and master clocks for accurate time stamping of data and events within emergency call centers (such as 9-1-1 public safety answering points). When GPS signals became publicly available in the 1990s, Spectracom began offering its time and frequency products with embedded GPS receivers. These products are known by the registered trademarks Ageless and NetClock, the ...

WWVB
WWVB is a longwave time signal radio station near Fort Collins, Colorado, and is operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Most radio clock, radio-controlled clocks in North America use WWVB's transmissions to set the correct time. The normal signal transmitted from WWVB is 70 kW Effective radiated power, ERP and uses a 60 Hertz, kHz carrier wave yielding a frequency uncertainty of less than 1 part in 10. The time code signal is derived from a set of atomic clocks located at the site, and transmitted using the IRIG timecode, IRIG "H" format and modulated onto the carrier wave using pulse-width modulation and amplitude-shift keying at one bit per second. A single complete frame of time code begins at the start of each minute, lasts one minute, and conveys the year, day of year, hour, minute, and other information . WWVB is co-located with WWV (radio station), WWV, a time signal station that broadcasts in both voice and time code on multiple ...

Computer Companies Disestablished In 2007
A computer is a machine that can be programmed to automatically carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations (''computation''). Modern digital electronic computers can perform generic sets of operations known as ''programs'', which enable computers to perform a wide range of tasks. The term computer system may refer to a nominally complete computer that includes the hardware, operating system, software, and peripheral equipment needed and used for full operation; or to a group of computers that are linked and function together, such as a computer network or computer cluster. A broad range of industrial and consumer products use computers as control systems, including simple special-purpose devices like microwave ovens and remote controls, and factory devices like industrial robots. Computers are at the core of general-purpose devices such as personal computers and mobile devices such as smartphones. Computers power the Internet, which links billions of computers ...
