A Slot Of Time
- Slot: noun a narrow opening or groove: slit, notch. A narrow passage or enclosure. A passage through the wing of an airplane or of a missile that is located usually near the leading edge and formed between a main and an auxiliary airfoil for improving flow conditions over the wing so as to increase lift and delay stalling of the wing.
- At ICE 2019, Microgaming introduced a whole series of new products, one of which was the Shogun of Time slot. The plot takes players to the Japanese future city, where they will meet with the time traveler to find eternal artifacts, namely the fearless shogun, who will indicate the correct path to winnings at the rates of the main mode or bonus.
- Time slot meaning: 1. A time when something can happen or is planned to happen, especially when it is one of several.
- Multistage switching facility for optical signals, with space slot, time slot and frequency slot converters, characterised in that the time slot converters are contained only in the last stage and that the preceding stages are.
A Slot Of Time Zones
Slot time is a concept in computer networking. It is at least twice the time it takes for an electronic pulse (OSILayer 1 - Physical) to travel the length of the maximum theoretical distance between two nodes. In CSMA/CD networks such as Ethernet, the slot time is an upper limit on the acquisition of the medium, a limit on the length of a packet fragment generated by a collision, and the scheduling quantum for retransmission.[1]
Since a pulse's runtime will never exceed slot time (the maximum theoretical time for a frame to travel a network), the network interface controller, or NIC waits a minimum of slot time before retransmitting after a collision happened, in order to allow any pulse that was initiated at the time that the waiting NIC was requested to send, to reach all other nodes. By allowing the pulse to reach the waiting NIC, a local collision occurs (i.e. while still sending) rather than a late collision occurring (after sending may or may not have ended). By having the collision occur at the NIC (local) and not on the wire (late) CSMA/CD implementation recover the situation by retransmitting later.
Winning at slot machines is like winning money while drinking water. These games don’t require any prior experience or special strategies to win. All you need to do is wait for the reels to spin and land at the winning combination. Even a first-time player could win millions of.
Some times for Ethernet slot time include:[2]
| Speed | Slot time[3] | Time Interval |
|---|---|---|
| 10 Mbit/s | 512 bit times | 51.2 microseconds |
| 100 Mbit/s | 512 bit times | 5.12 microseconds |
| 1 Gbit/s[4] | 4096 bit times | 4.096 microseconds |
| 2.5 Gbit/s onward | no half-duplex operation | |
See DIFS for information on 802.11x slot times.

- ^Slot time is only applicable to half-duplex transmissions. Since slot time is the time required to wait for the medium to be free from transmissions, there is no time required to wait for full-duplex transmissions. 1 Gbit/s (in practice) and faster (by standard) are full duplex technologies, so slot time is not applicable here.
