Accurate Clocks and Their Applications
Clocks are "everywhere;" not only in visible places, such as wrist watches and alarm clocks, but in everything electronic: radios, TVs, computers, radar systems, GPS.... The applications and fundamentals of quartz and atomic clocks will be reviewed. Emphasis will be on aspects that are of greatest interest to users (as opposed to designers).
The discussion will include:
• some interesting applications of clocks
• resonator and oscillator basics
• atomic clock basics
• characteristics and limitations of clocks, and recent developments

John Vig
Accurate Clocks and Their Applications
This talk addresses the importance of Clocks and state-of-the art technology including the emerging trends.
Biography:
John Vig was born in Hungary. He emigrated to the United States in 1957, where he subsequently received the B.S. degree from the City College of New York and his Ph.D. degree from Rutgers - The State University. He spent his professional career performing and leading R&D in US government research laboratories - developing high stability quartz crystal resonators, oscillators, and sensors.
He has been awarded 55 patents and is the author of more than 100 publications, including nine book chapters. Since 2006, he has been a consultant, mainly to program managers at the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for programs ranging from micro- and nanoresonators to chip-scale atomic clocks.
He is an IEEE Life Fellow, and is the recipient of the IEEE Cady Award and the IEEE Sawyer Award. He has been the Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control (UFFC) Society, and he has served as the president of this Society. He founded the IEEE Sensors Council, served as its founding president, and he served as the 2009 IEEE President and CEO.
He and his wife (of 49 years) live in Colts Neck, NJ, USA. Their main hobby is ballroom dancing.
Address:Colt Neck, New Jersey, United States
