1 microsecond – the length of time of a high-speed, commercial strobe light flash (see air-gap flash). 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.

1.44 minutes, or 86.4 seconds. Also marketed as a ".beat" by the Swatch corporation. moment: 1/40 solar hour (90 s on average) Medieval unit of time used by astronomers to compute astronomical movements, length varies with the season. [4] Also colloquially refers to a brief period of time. centiday 0.01 d (1 % of a day) 14.4 minutes, or 864 ...
1 ns: The time needed to execute one machine cycle by a 1 GHz microprocessor 1 ns: The time light takes to travel 30 cm (11.811 in) 10 −6: microsecond: μs One millionth of one second 1 μs: The time needed to execute one machine cycle by an Intel 80186 microprocessor 2.2 μs: The lifetime of a muon
1 millisecond (1 ms) – cycle time for frequency 1 kHz; duration of light for typical photo flash strobe; [5] time taken for sound wave to travel about 34 cm; repetition interval of GPS C/A PN code; 1 millisecond – time taken for light to travel 204.19 km in a single mode fiber optic cable for a wavelength of 1550 nm (frequency: 193 THz).
In electronics and electromagnetics, slew rate is defined as the change of voltage or current, or any other electrical or electromagnetic quantity, per unit of time. Expressed in SI units , the unit of measurement is given as the change per second, but in the context of electronic circuits a slew rate is usually expressed in terms of ...
The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a protocol for clock synchronization throughout a computer network with relatively high precision and therefore potentially high accuracy. . In a local area network (LAN), accuracy can be sub-microsecond – making it suitable for measurement and control systems.
Electromagnetic (e.g. radio or light) waves are conceptually pure single frequency phenomena while pulses may be mathematically thought of as composed of a number of pure frequencies that sum and nullify in interactions that create a pulse train of the specific amplitudes, PRRs, base frequencies, phase characteristics, et cetera (See Fourier Analysis).
On 5 January 1975, the 12-bit field that had been used for dates in the TOPS-10 operating system for DEC PDP-10 computers overflowed, in a bug known as "DATE75". The field value was calculated by taking the number of years since 1964, multiplying by 12, adding the number of months since January, multiplying by 31, and adding the number of days since the start of the month; putting 2 12 − 1 ...
