'synchronous' is a correct and usable word in written English.
You can use it to describe events or processes that happen at the same time or are happening in unison. For example, "The synchronous footsteps of the commuters echoed down the street."
The reaction is synchronized, or synchronous, in that entry of the nucleophile and departure of the leaving group occur simultaneously.
But the synchronous approach predominated, largely because it is easier to design chips in which things happen only when the clock ticks.
There are very few synchronous collaborative tools, most of it is asynchronous.
In January, the firm installed a prototype "synchronous condenser" designed to provide this stability to an electrical sub-station in Tennessee.
That distinguishes them from "synchronous" motors that use a permanent magnet in their rotors instead of a set of conductors.
In a synchronous motor, the stator's rotating magnetic field imposes an electromagnetic torque directly on the fixed magnetic field of the rotor, causing the latter assembly to spin on its axis in sync with the stator field.
To do this the satellite would need to be in a synchronous orbit (one whose orbital period is the same as the period of revolution of the planet underneath), and the descending cable would have to be counterbalanced by an ascending one extending off into space.
Signals pass through neurons in the form of electrical spikes called action potentials that carry little information in themselves, other than that they have happened.Such asynchronous signalling (so called because of the lack of a synchronising central clock) can process data more quickly than the synchronous sort, since no time is wasted waiting for the clock to tick.
These fields, generated by devices called linear synchronous motors, both levitate the capsules and propel them forward.
It has the potential even to unseat Synchronous Optical Networks (SONETs) used in long-distance telephony.
But, says Dr Ebergen, in one recent experiment with a test chip that could run in both synchronous and asynchronous modes, the asynchronous mode won out.
