In telecommunication, release time is the time interval for a circuit to respond when an enabling signal is discontinued, for example:
- in an automatic gain control or echo suppressor circuit, the time interval between the end of the enabling signal and the instant at which suppression ceases,
- for a relay, the time between when the coil is de-energized, and the instant that contact closure ceases or is established.
Famous quotes containing the words release and/or time:
“The shallow consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise man sees in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“When we choose to be parents, we accept another human being as part of ourselves, and a large part of our emotional selves will stay with that person as long as we live. From that time on, there will be another person on this earth whose orbit around us will affect us as surely as the moon affects the tides, and affect us in some ways more deeply than anyone else can. Our children are extensions of ourselves in ways our parents are not, nor our brothers and sisters, nor our spouses.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
