  4. Microsecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsecond

    1 microsecond – protein folding takes place on the order of microseconds (thus this is the speed of carbon-based life). 1.8 microseconds – the amount of time subtracted from the Earth's day as a result of the 2011 Japanese earthquake. [1] 2 microseconds – the lifetime of a muonium particle.

  5. Sleep (system call) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_(system_call)

    A typical sleep system call takes a time value as a parameter, specifying the minimum amount of time that the process is to sleep before resuming execution. The parameter typically specifies seconds, although some operating systems provide finer resolution, such as milliseconds or microseconds.

  6. Metric time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_time

    One kè was usually defined as 1 ⁄ 100 of a day until 1628, though there were short periods before then where days had 96, 108 or 120 kè. [7] A kè is about 14.4 minutes, or 14 minutes 24 seconds. In the 19th century, Joseph Charles François de Rey-Pailhade endorsed Lagrange’s proposal of using centijours, but abbreviated cé , and ...

  7. Bit time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_time

    That is, a 10 Mbit/s NIC can eject 1 bit every 0.1 microsecond (100 nanoseconds = 0.1 microseconds). Bit time is distinctively different from slot time , which is the time taken for a pulse to travel through the longest permitted length of network medium.

  8. Delay-locked loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delay-locked_loop

    From the outside, a DLL can be seen as a negative delay gate placed in the clock path of a digital circuit. The main component of a DLL is a delay chain composed of many delay gates connected output-to-input. The input of the chain (and thus of the DLL) is connected to the clock that is to be negatively delayed.

  9. C date and time functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_date_and_time_functions

    The C date and time functions are a group of functions in the standard library of the C programming language implementing date and time manipulation operations. [1] They provide support for time acquisition, conversion between date formats, and formatted output to strings.
