Revision as of 13:06, 2 August 2005
The idea is to develop a relative fast and mainly robust and precise
(otherwise it wouldn't be a swiss watch ;-)) triggering of at least 2
different output signals in order to distinguish between minutes and
hours (as the processes are not so fast it will be more likely hours and days).
As bacterias duplicate rather fast and in regular intervals - as long as
the environment alows it - one could try to use this process for triggering.
Alternative approach
The focus of the project could be reduced to creating an oscillator that is simple, robust, and very regular. To make things even more attractive, one could build a quorum sensing component that synchronizes the whole population. (Strange, i think i already saw something like that somewhere in the registry of biological parts, does anybody have an idea?)
