Unreferenced date December 2009 Bit time is a concept in computer network ing. It is defined as the time it takes for one bit to be ejected from a Network Interface Card NIC operating at some predefined standard speed, such as 10 Mbit s. The time is measured between the time the Logical Link Control logical link control layer 2 sublayer receives the instruction from the operating system until the bit actually leaves the NIC. The bit time has nothing to do with the time it takes for a bit to travel on the network medium, but has to do with the internals of the NIC. To calculate the bit time at which a NIC ejects bits, use the following bit time 1 NIC speed To calculate the bit time for a 10 Mbit s NIC, use the formula as follows bit time 1 10 10 6 10 7 100 10 9 100 nanoseconds The bit time for a 10 Mbit s NIC is 100 nanoseconds. That is, a 10 Mbit s NIC can eject 1 bit every 100 nanoseconds. Bit time is distinctively different from slot time , which is the time taken for a pulse to travel through the longest permitted length of network medium.

Dicdef Weight on bit http www.osha.gov SLTC etools oilandgas glossary of terms glossary of terms w.html WOB , as expressed in the oil industry , is the amount of downward force exerted on the Drill bit Well drilling bits drill bit and is normally measured in thousands of pounds. Weight on bit is provided by drill collars, which are thick walled tubular pieces machined from solid bars of steel, usually plain carbon steel but sometimes of nonmagnetic nickel copper alloy or other nonmagnetic premium alloys. Gravity acts on the large mass of the collars to provide the downward force needed for the bits to efficiently break rock. To accurately control the amount of force applied to the bit, the driller carefully monitors the surface weight measured while the bit is just off the bottom of the wellbore. Next, the drillstring and the drill bit , is slowly and carefully lowered until it touches bottom. After that point, as the driller continues to lower the top of the drillstring, more and more weight is applied to the bit, and correspondingly less weight is measured as hanging at the surface. If the surface measurement shows 20,000 pounds 9080 kg less weight than with the bit off bottom, then there should be 20,000 pounds force on the bit in a vertical hole .
