For example, she derives seemingly modernist, if peculiarly arranged configurations by simply diagramming the semaphore alphabet (which yields white fields scattered with small squares divided into red and yellow), or by making patterns based on the binary language of digital technology in which different letters are conveyed by signals that are either on or off (yes or not yes).
Railroads then began to add colored disks to the opposite ends of the semaphore arm, illuminated by kerosene and then by electric lights.
In the first gallery, prepare to be stopped in your tracks by the lumbering semaphore of "Mean Time," a digital clock the size of a large shipping container, which marks off the seconds, minutes and hours with loud, oddly soothing whirrings and rhythmic ka-chunks.
There are two main stages for the motion vector search, including the initial and refined search, indicated by the hardware semaphore.
As part of this work four manual signal boxes were replaced by three power signal boxes, and the semaphore signals and mechanical point linkages were replaced by colour light signals and point motors.
One of the most successful of the visual telegraphs was the semaphore developed in France by the Chappe brothers, Claude and Ignace, in 1791.
The eponymous inspiration is the semaphore telegraph line designed by Claude Chappe, a wooden communication device that eventually spread through all of Europe as a precursor to modern telecommunication.
The march was the first to use the logo drawn by a pacifist designer called Gerald Holtom from the semaphore signals for N and D (standing, of course, for nuclear and disarmament).
When first conceived, it was known as the Semaphore Battery, later changed to South Battery and then Fort Glanville by the opening ceremony.
