  2. Orders of magnitude (time) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(time)

    Orders of magnitude (time) An order of magnitude of time is usually a decimal prefix or decimal order-of-magnitude quantity together with a base unit of time, like a microsecond or a million years. In some cases, the order of magnitude may be implied (usually 1), like a "second" or "year". In other cases, the quantity name implies the base unit ...

  3. Vector clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_clock

    A vector clock is a data structure used for determining the partial ordering of events in a distributed system and detecting causality violations. Just as in Lamport timestamps, inter-process messages contain the state of the sending process's logical clock. A vector clock of a system of N processes is an array /vector of N logical clocks, one ...

  4. ISO 8601 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601

    t. e. ISO 8601 is an international standard covering the worldwide exchange and communication of date and time -related data. It is maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and was first published in 1988, with updates in 1991, 2000, 2004, and 2019, and an amendment in 2022. [1]

  5. List of tz database time zones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones

    List of tz database time zones. The tz database partitions the world into regions where local clocks all show the same time. This map was made by combining version 2023d with OpenStreetMap data, using open source software. [1] This is a list of time zones from release 2024a of the tz database. [2]

  6. Control loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_loop

    A good example of this is a central heating boiler controlled only by a timer, so that heat is applied for a constant time, regardless of the temperature of the building. The control action is the switching on/off of the boiler, but the controlled variable should be the building temperature, but is not because this is open-loop control of the ...

  7. Depth-first search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth-first_search

    Depth-first search. Depth-first search ( DFS) is an algorithm for traversing or searching tree or graph data structures. The algorithm starts at the root node (selecting some arbitrary node as the root node in the case of a graph) and explores as far as possible along each branch before backtracking.

  8. Characteristic impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_impedance

    The characteristic impedance of an infinite transmission line at a given angular frequency is the ratio of the voltage and current of a pure sinusoidal wave of the same frequency travelling along the line. This relation is also the case for finite transmission lines until the wave reaches the end of the line. Generally, a wave is reflected back ...

  9. Redshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift

    t. e. In physics, a redshift is an increase in the wavelength, and corresponding decrease in the frequency and photon energy, of electromagnetic radiation (such as light ). The opposite change, a decrease in wavelength and increase in frequency and energy, is known as a blueshift, or negative redshift. The terms derive from the colours red and ...
