A report interval mode is selected from one of multiple selectable report interval modes in cases where the preferred sensor sample intervals of multiple applications are different. By using multiple selectable report interval modes some of the problems that occur when a single fixed report interval mode is used can be avoided.

Audio telephone and video conferencing systems have a computerized server having a plurality of ports for terminating audio and video from participants, a connection to an Internet network, software providing switching and controls in conference management, and an interactive interface enabling an organizer to configure a conference, selecting time and participants, and a timer function timing participation by individual ones of participants. As each participant is enabled to speak, a preprogrammed time-to-speak is announced or displayed to at least the instant speaker, and the timer function begins to count down from the time-to-speak.

A device having multiple bowls for mixing colorants. The device includes lateral tabs adjacent each bowl for erasably labeling the tabs with the identification of the contents of the corresponding bowl. A centrally located timer mechanism is provided to time the colorant mixture setting times and a marker ring is rotatably provided around the timer mechanism to selectively indicate the bowl in use and being timed.

Disclosed are a timing assembly (500) and a toaster oven, the timing assembly (500) including: a mounting panel (200); a knob assembly (100) including a knob portion (110) and a movable assembly (120), the movable assembly (120) having a first state and a second state; a timer (300); and a limiting member fixedly connected to the mounting panel (200), the limiting member being positioned corresponding to the movable assembly (120) in the first state; when the movable assembly (120) in the first state is rotated to the position of the limiting member, the limiting member blocks the movable assembly (120) from continuing to rotate, and when the movable assembly (120) in the second state is rotated, the limiting member is avoided. The toaster oven includes the timing assembly (500). The timing assembly (500) can safely switch among operating states, and prevents safety risks.

An adjustable timer teaches time in a simple manner to those having difficulty understanding the concept of time. The timer displays remaining and elapsed time. The timer may be set to rotate a shaft at different speeds. A colored disk is attached to the shaft. Boards having faces with different numerical indicia reside in a cavity and may be interchanged by a user. The exposed board face corresponds to the setting of the timer such that one full rotation of the shaft and disk corresponds to the numerical indicia of the exposed board face.

A time-to-digital converter includes: an input for receiving a time-domain input signal; an output for providing a digital output signal; a time register coupled to the input and to a first node; a time quantizer coupled to the time register for providing the digital output signal at the output; and a digital-to-time converter coupled to the output for providing a feed-back signal at the first node.
