Sentences with phrase «takes microseconds»

In luminescent materials made so far the luminescence takes microseconds (millionths of a second) to die away.

Not exact matches

The new method offers a variety of advantages: for example, the gate operations take place within microseconds which is an asset for quantum information processing.

So far, this drastic increase in speed takes about 5 to 10 minutes to trigger with the 150 - watt mercury lamp the researchers used, but Leigh says more powerful laser pulses could set off turbo boosts in a microsecond or less.

A long time means that — for modern electronics, it's a long time — it takes half a millisecond for the photon to go from A to B, so if you decide something like a few tenths of a microsecond before, then that's a long time.

(A millisecond is one thousandth of a second) The length of a day, which is measured by the time it takes Earth to rotate once on its axis, can be measured to an accuracy of about 10 microseconds, or 10 millionths of a second.

In this case, although the D - Wave One showed some evidence of quantum behaviour, it took longer — 15 microseconds — to solve a problem than the conventional processors, which took 4 and 0.8 microseconds.

Columbia Engineering's compact, chip - scale dual comb spectrometer was able to measure a broad spectrum of dichloromethane in just 20 microseconds (there are 1,000,000 microseconds in one second), a task that would have taken at least several seconds with conventional spectrometers.

Instead, it happens in discrete steps of about 50 meters, with each step taking about one microsecond and about 50 microseconds elapsing between steps.

This is why their speed is very, very close to the speed of light: v = 0.999999995 c - to illustrate this, take the distance incredibly long between the Sun and Earth: light takes 8 minutes to travel this distance of 150 million kilometres, and an electron travelling at the speed of the electrons in the ESRF storage ring, will arrive «only» a quarter of a microsecond «later».

The direct and indirect overhead of that offloading is less than 15 microseconds (as seen from PPU), so every piece of code that takes more than that to execute can be offloaded.

It might take an extra microsecond to pick your receiver using this method than it would using the Classic controller method, but you'll never get that same «ugh, I hit the wrong button» feeling that seems to hit me at least once a game.

The processes (absorption of light, collisional energy transfer and emission) can be separated because the average time that an isolated CO2 molecule takes before it emits a photon is much longer that the time for collisional de-excitation (~ tens of microseconds at atmospheric pressure, less, higher in the atmosphere).

Radiative equilibrium takes place on very fast (microsecond or less) timescales, so what on earth are you talking about?

Well, having had a daughter who worked at IKEA for a short period of time — actually, we're pretty sure she's still in there somewhere, having taken up residence in one of the display homes they have set up in their ginormoultramegastore — I am up - to - the - microsecond aware of the IKEA concept of modularity.
