  2. Trent Tucker Rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trent_Tucker_Rule

    The Trent Tucker Rule is a basketball rule that disallows any regular shot to be taken on the court if the ball is put into play with under 0.3 seconds left in game or shot clock. The rule was adopted in the 1990–91 NBA season and named after New York Knicks player Trent Tucker, and officially adopted in FIBA play starting in 2010.

    1 μs: The time needed to execute one machine cycle by an Intel 80186 microprocessor 2.2 μs: The lifetime of a muon 4–16 μs: The time needed to execute one machine cycle by a 1960s minicomputer: 10 −3: millisecond: ms One thousandth of one second 1 ms: The time for a neuron in the human brain to fire one impulse and return to rest [13]

  4. Decimal time - Wikipedia

    A Gregorian year, which takes into account the 100 vs. 400 leap year exception rule of the Gregorian calendar, is 365.2425 days (the average length of a year over a 400–year cycle), resulting in 0.1 years being a period of 36.52425 days (3 155 695.2 seconds; 36 days, 12 hours, 34 minutes, 55.2 seconds).

  5. Second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second

    The second (symbol: s) is a unit of time, historically defined as 1 ⁄ 86400 of a day – this factor derived from the division of the day first into 24 hours, then to 60 minutes and finally to 60 seconds each (24 × 60 × 60 = 86400).

  6. Quartz clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_clock

    Standard-quality 32 768 Hz resonators of this type are warranted to have a long-term accuracy of about six parts per million (0.0006%) at 31 °C (87.8 °F): that is, a typical quartz clock or wristwatch will gain or lose 15 seconds per 30 days (within a normal temperature range of 5 to 35 °C or 41 to 95 °F) or less than a half second clock ...

  7. Time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_constant

    The long-time solution is time independent and independent of initial conditions: =. The time constant remains the same for the same system regardless of the starting conditions. Simply stated, a system approaches its final, steady-state situation at a constant rate, regardless of how close it is to that value at any arbitrary starting point.

  8. BSF (time service) - Wikipedia

    0.4 seconds of reduced power and 0.6 s of full power means 01; 0.6 seconds of reduced power and 0.4 s of full power means 11; 0.8 seconds of reduced power and 0.2 s of full power means 10; Note that the data is Gray coded so that confusion between 0.4 and 0.6 seconds of full power will only corrupt one data bit, and thus be detectable by the ...

  9. Seconds pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seconds_pendulum

    An apparent solar day can be 20 seconds shorter or 30 seconds longer than a mean solar day. [12] Long or short days occur in succession, so the difference builds up until mean time is ahead of apparent time by about 14 minutes near February 6 and behind apparent time by about 16 minutes near November 3.
