Abstract: A simple electronic horological device, termed a time cell, is presented with associated methods, systems, and computer program products. A time cell has an insulated, charge storage element that receives an electrostatic charge through its insulating medium, i.e. it is programmed. Over time, the charge storage element then loses the charge through its insulating medium. Given the reduction of the electric potential of the programmed charge storage element at a substantially known discharge rate, and by observing the potential of the programmed charge storage element at a given point in time, an elapsed time period can be determined. Thus, the time cell measures an elapsed time period without a continuous power source. One type of time cell is an analog time cell that may have a form similar to a non-volatile memory cell, particularly a floating gate field effect transistor (FGFET). The time cell may have an expanded floating gate for storing an electrostatic charge.

Abstract: An improved electromagnetic interference shield for a module includes springs in which the compression force pushes the springs in a direction that is approximately parallel to the optic axis. The springs allow significantly looser tolerances on the placement of the module on its associated printed circuit board. The shield also includes an opening near its center, the edge of which includes a plurality of teeth. When the shield is placed onto the module, the teeth bend along the negative optic axis direction and prevent the shield from being pulled away from the module. Accidental removal of the shield is thus prevented. The shield splits the enclosure ground from the internal signal ground, decreasing the capacitance between them, in turn decreasing another possible source of electromagnetic radiation. In addition, the shield is more cost efficient to manufacture since it only requires a one step assembly process.
