-
nounthe time when something happenstype of:
Definition that contains timing
- lead the timing of ignition relative to the position of the piston in an internal-combustion engine
- overhead (computer science) the disk space required for information that is not data but is used for location and timing
- stopwatch a timepiece that can be started or stopped for exact timing (as of a race)
- synchronous (digital communication) pertaining to a transmission technique that requires a common clock signal (a timing reference) between the communicating devices in order to coordinate their transmissions
- asynchronous (digital communication) pertaining to a transmission technique that does not require a common clock between the communicating devices; timing signals are derived from special characters in the data stream itself
- spark advance the timing of ignition relative to the position of the piston in an internal-combustion engine
- car bomb a bomb placed in a car and wired to explode when the ignition is started or by remote control or by a timing device
- spark lever (on early automobiles) a lever mounted on the steering column and used to adjust the timing of the ignition
- disk overhead (computer science) the disk space required for information that is not data but is used for location and timing
- stop watch a timepiece that can be started or stopped for exact timing (as of a race)
