Answer 1

I would start by formatting the output array a little bit first.
$arr = array();
foreach ( $result as $row ) {
$arr[ $row[ 'terminalSN' ] ][ $row[ 'eventID' ] ] = $row;
}
Then output should be a little easier:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Time In</th>
<th>Time Out</th>
<th>Work Time</th>
</tr>
<?php foreach ( $arr as $key => $value ) : ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo date( 'Y-m-d', strtotime( $value[ 'IN' ][ 'timeentry' ] ) ); ?></td>
<td><?php echo date( 'H:i:s', strtotime( $value[ 'IN' ][ 'timeentry' ] ) ); ?></td>
<td><?php echo date( 'H:i:s', strtotime( $value[ 'OUT' ][ 'timeentry' ] ) ); ?></td>
<td><?php echo "Calculate based on out minus in. Pretty simple at this point." ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</table>

I'm using your data model never changes and that your data is already sorted the way you'd like it to be sorted. So, for an array like this:
$data = array
(
0 => array
(
'ActateLog' => array
(
'id' => 1,
'timeentry' => '2011-02-16 00:09:02',
'eventID' => 'OUT',
'terminalSN' => '00111DA08C8B',
'jpegPhoto' => false
)
),
1 => array
(
'ActateLog' => array
(
'id' => 1,
'timeentry' => '2011-02-16 00:09:12',
'eventID' => 'IN',
'terminalSN' => '00111DA08C8B',
'jpegPhoto' => false
)
)
);
I made a function, that returns an array with n/2 rows and has both IN and OUT in the same row.
function processMyArray($data)
{
$output = array();
$lim = count($data);
$i = $j = 0;
for($i=0; $i<$lim; $i+=2, $j++)
{
$output[$j] = array
(
'date' => substr($data[$i]['ActateLog']['timeentry'], 0, 10),
'IN' => substr($data[$i]['ActateLog']['timeentry'], 11),
'OUT' => substr($data[$i+1]['ActateLog']['timeentry'], 11),
'work_time' => strtotime($data[$i+1]['ActateLog']['timeentry']) - strtotime($data[$i]['ActateLog']['timeentry'])
);
}
return $output;
}

Here you go that'll do it though you dont have two values in your array that you state you want in your table.
<table>
<tr>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Time In</th>
<th>Time Out</th>
<th>Work Time</th>
</tr>
<?php foreach ($thisArr as $arr) : ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo date('Y-m-d'); ?></td>
<td><?php echo $arr['ActatekLog']['timeentry']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo "no time out in the array??"; ?></td>
<td><?php echo "you need to calculate this I assume"; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
