Cable boxes are not designed to be turned completely off, and even when in deep sleep mode, it takes time to reconnect and "talk" with their cable or satellite network, though that time is highly variable depending on the technology.
In bandwidth-minimizing mode, it takes as input a target failure detection latency, and pings the monitored nodes at just the right frequency such that it will detect failures within the targeted amount of detection latency using the minimal required amount of bandwidth.
In latency-minimizing mode, it takes as input an amount of bandwidth to spend on failure detection, and pings the monitored nodes at just the right frequency such that it will detect failures as early as possible without exceeding the given bandwidth cap.
In the simulation mode, it takes a current profile and a sunlight trace as inputs and generates a simulated power profile on the host computer.
The under-recognized feature of that update is what I'm calling "ride mode". It takes over the app while a trip is underway, including maps, ETA and other useful info.
If a user hasn't enabled Glass's PIN-code like gesture authentication system--which is disabled by default--or has left their device in debug mode, it takes seconds to plant the software, the researchers say.
We are still on survival mode". "It takes time to create change.
In the semiautomatic mode it takes 18 s from the beginning of the analyzing process until the device is charged, and an alarm tone sounds until the shock button is pressed.
In this mode, it takes fewer bullets to kill and to get killed.
I found that, in Express Gate mode, it took only eight seconds to boot up, as promised, but this was only a preparatory step.
