    The 34 hour restart provision will still be in effect. However, drivers will only be allowed 1 restart per week (168 hours). Up to 2 hours either side of a sleeper-berth period while in the passenger seat will count as off-duty. Drivers inside a parked CMV who are not in the sleeper berth must log it as on-duty.

  3. Daylight saving time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time

    Daylight saving time ( DST ), also referred to as daylight saving (s), daylight savings time, daylight time (United States and Canada), or summer time ( United Kingdom, European Union, and others), is the practice of advancing clocks to make better use of the longer daylight available during summer, so that darkness falls at a later clock time.

  4. Modular arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_arithmetic

    Time-keeping on this clock uses arithmetic modulo 12. Adding 4 hours to 9 o'clock gives 1 o'clock, since 13 is congruent to 1 modulo 12. In mathematics, modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers "wrap around" when reaching a certain value, called the modulus. The modern approach to modular arithmetic was developed ...

  5. Coordinated Universal Time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time

    Coordinated Universal Time or UTC is the primary time standard globally used to regulate clocks and time. It establishes a reference for the current time, forming the basis for civil time and time zones. UTC facilitates international communication, navigation, scientific research, and commerce. UTC has been widely embraced by most countries and ...

  6. Circadian clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circadian_clock

    Circadian clock. A circadian clock, or circadian oscillator, also known as one’s internal alarm clock is a biochemical oscillator that cycles with a stable phase and is synchronized with solar time . Such a clock's in vivo period is necessarily almost exactly 24 hours (the earth's current solar day ).

  7. 12-hour clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock

    The 12-hour clock has been developed since the second millennium BC and reached its modern form in the 16th century. The 12-hour time convention is common in several English-speaking nations and former British colonies, as well as a few other countries. There is no widely accepted convention for how midday and midnight should be represented: in ...

  8. Clock angle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_angle_problem

    Clock angle problems relate two different measurements: angles and time. The angle is typically measured in degrees from the mark of number 12 clockwise. The time is usually based on a 12-hour clock . A method to solve such problems is to consider the rate of change of the angle in degrees per minute. The hour hand of a normal 12-hour analogue ...

  9. 24-hour clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_clock

    The modern 24-hour clock is the convention of timekeeping in which the day runs from midnight to midnight and is divided into 24 hours. This is indicated by the hours (and minutes) passed since midnight, from 00 (:00) to 23 (:59), with 24 (:00) as an option to indicate the end of the day. This system, as opposed to the 12-hour clock, is the ...
