S: (n) access time ((computer science) the interval between the time data is requested by the system and the time the data is provided by the drive) "access time is the sum of seek time and rotational latency and command processing overhead"
S: (n) distance, space (the interval between two times) "the distance from birth to death"; "it all happened in the space of 10 minutes"
S: (n) seek time ((computer science) the time it takes for a read/write head to move to a specific data track)
S: (n) time constant ((electronics) the time required for the current or voltage in a circuit to rise or fall exponentially through approximately 63 per cent of its amplitude)
S: (n) time slot, slot (a time assigned on a schedule or agenda) "the TV program has a new time slot"; "an aircraft landing slot"
S: (n) lunitidal interval (interval between the moon's transit of a particular meridian and the next high tide at that meridian)
S: (n) absence (the time interval during which something or somebody is away) "he visited during my absence"
S: (n) interim, meantime, meanwhile, lag (the time between one event, process, or period and another) "meanwhile the socialists are running the government"
S: (n) latent period (the time that elapses before the presence of a disease is manifested by symptoms)
S: (n) eternity (a seemingly endless time interval (waiting))
S: (n) cycle, rhythm, round (an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs) "the never-ending cycle of the seasons"
S: (n) lead time (the time interval between the initiation and the completion of a production process) "the lead times for many publications can vary tremendously"; "planning is an area where lead time can be reduced"
S: (n) period (the interval taken to complete one cycle of a regularly repeating phenomenon)
S: (n) float (the time interval between the deposit of a check in a bank and its payment)
S: (n) rotational latency, latency ((computer science) the time it takes for a specific block of data on a data track to rotate around to the read/write head)
S: (n) processing time (the time it takes to complete a prescribed procedure) "they increased output by decreasing processing time"
