The average difference between the FAT and manual times for the men's 100 meters was 0.24 seconds, although this ranged from 0.05 seconds to 0.45 seconds; for example, the average difference for the six runners in the men's 100 meter final was 0.41 seconds; [13] while the average difference in the women's 100 meters was also 0.24, but only 0.22 ...
The electric pump is to be arranged to be turned on and off at regular intervals by the time switch to administer (fairly) precise and regular water quantities. [1] This approach, used frequently in DIY watering systems, allows financial savings as the water timer can be discarded. For high-end applications, water timers sometimes allow more ...

Cutaway diagram of a No. 10 delay switch. One type, the British Number Ten Delay Switch (official name, "Switch, No. 10, Delay" and often referred to as a "timing pencil"), was made of a brass (or in later versions aluminium) tube, with a copper section at one end which contained a glass vial of cupric chloride (the liquid was widely and erroneously reported to be sulfuric acid [original ...
A horse and rider at the canter A miniature horse at a gallop. The canter and gallop are variations on the fastest gait that can be performed by a horse or other equine.The canter is a controlled three-beat gait, [1] while the gallop is a faster, four-beat variation of the same gait. [2]
An example of a simple timer is an hourglass. Commonly, a timer triggers an alarm when it ends. A timer can be implemented through hardware or software. Stopwatches operate in the opposite direction, upwards from 00:00, measuring elapsed time since a given time instant. Time switches are timers that control an electric switch.
The horse and the rider turns as fast as they can in the bulb. The team then exits the keyhole again at a gallop and the time ends once they cross the timing line. Winning times for this event range from 5 to 10 seconds. Penalties may be applied to a team's time.
